The Classic is Josephburg Ag Society’s premier ‘youth in agriculture’ event. Having started in the late 90s, the beef show is a fun stop on the Junior Show Circuit. As many as 200 head of beef cattle have been known to enter the show. An Open Division was added. Seeing a need for 4-H beef projects to get some ring time, we added the 4-H division in 2019. This has proven very popular with a high number of clubs represented. Youth and their families come from across Alberta and western Saskatchewan enter for a chance to both learn and compete in Josephburg. It is the largest cattle show in Strathcona County and a long-standing component of the junior show circuit.
