ISU The Classic Cattle Show

Iowa State University’s Block and Bridle Club and Alpha Gamma Rho (AGR) Fraternity successfully hosted The Classic beef cattle show March 13–15, 2026, at the Jeff and Deb Hansen Agriculture Student Learning Center.

The show welcomed 183 exhibitors, 200 head, and approximately 250 attendees. Thanks to the hard work of 50 committee members and the support of our sponsors, the event was a great success, raising $12,000.

Exhibitors enjoyed a pizza meal, Iowa State students gained experience judging showmanship, and 8 scholarships were awarded to recognize outstanding dedication. Thank you to our judges, Tyler Winegardner (OH) and Garrett Lampe (IL), and to everyone who helped make the weekend awesome!

We would like to extend a big thank you to our tri-chairs for The Classic 2026. Their dedication to helping youth does not go unnoticed, and we are proud to have them represent our show!

From L to R: Landon Rehberg, Carson Rieck, Ben Todd, Morgan Kelly, Madisyn Henderson, and Ava Leibfried.

We look forward to hosting everyone again in 2027!
