National Holstein Shows Schedule: November 09–10, 2023
The Royal Agricultural Winter Fair held annually in November is home to the two National Holstein Shows held in Canada, administered by Holstein Canada. Dairy cattle shows play an important role in the promotion and improvement of the Holstein breed and the National Holstein Shows (Black and White & Red and White) play an integral role in bringing together the best animals from across Canada and North America for the final show of the year.
