There are more than 130 major events happening over the six days of the Agribition 2025.

The multi-breed beef show is the big draw, with some of the best beef cattle in the world on display, culminating in the Agribition Beef Supreme, but there’s much more.

There’s a trade show, rodeo, new family events, the Indigenous Agriculture Summit and there’s more livestock than just cattle. There are also competitions and displays of bison, sheep and alpacas.

What should I bring to Agribition as a visitor?

Keep the heavy boots and jackets in the car, and exchange it for some good walking shoes and sweater, because there’s a lot of walking around to do and Agribition is all indoors. There are vendors, food, and shopping onsite, so it’s best to be prepared and have cash, debit, and credit cards on hand and a bag or backpack to carry purchases.
