About Farmfair International

Canada’s premier agricultural show and Alberta’s largest beef cattle event.

Canada's top Agricultural show

For over 52 years, Farmfair International has been a cornerstone of Canada's agricultural scene and Alberta's largest beef cattle show. Each November, exhibitors from across western Canada gather in Edmonton to showcase their top livestock genetics to purebred producers, local ranchers, and international buyers. Our event fosters industry connections, promotes agricultural excellence, and celebrates the rich heritage of Canadian farming.

Cattle Shows and Sales

Exhibitors present top-quality livestock genetics, competing for prestigious awards and making vital industry connections. Judges evaluate animals based on conformation, breed standards, and overall health, ensuring the highest standards of excellence.

International Connections

Farmfair International serves as a global platform, attracting international buyers and fostering relationships between Canadian producers and worldwide markets. Our International Ambassadors and Travel Reimbursement Program facilitate these crucial connections.

Youth in Agriculture

We are dedicated to supporting the next generation of agricultural leaders through our Junior Show, educational programming, and scholarship opportunities like the Mitch Jones Memorial Scholarship.

Ag Resources & Education

Beyond the show ring, Farmfair International offers valuable resources such as farm tours and career exploration guides to support continuous learning and industry growth. Farmfair also provides free learning opportunities for urban audiences, helping connect city visitors with rural agriculture and fostering greater understanding of where food comes from.
