Please see the attached document to learn more about the Salem Spooktacular Livestock Judging Contest that will be held on Saturday, October 31st, 2026 in Salem, Illinois. There will be several divisions including a youth reasons division for 4-H and FFA teams combined. This contest should serve as an awesome prep not only for teams heading into Louisville but should be a high caliber event for all in attendance. The youth reasons division is open to the world.

The Salem Spooktacular entry link is now live for the contest on Halloween 2026. Entries can be made at any point from now through October 23rd, but discounted entry fees end October 1st.
