​Livestock Barn Activities & Events
4-H and FFA youth are the heart of the Monongalia County Fair Livestock Barn's Show and Auction. Witness the culmination of a year’s work for young aspiring farmers who select, purchase, feed and groom livestock to be judged, graded and sold at the Fair. Their projects include lambs, hogs, rabbits , beef and poultry. We are very proud of our young farmers and invite you to meet them at this year’s Fair.
