Jan/Feb 2025 Stock Show Edition

be the best livestock publication in the industry. When we started 18 years ago, there were no full color livestock magazines, no apps, no foil covers that unfolded in a variety of different ways, no one taking thousands of pictures and covering shows online and no such thing as a magazine putting out thousands of free copies during one show. The Showtimes changed what is expected from livestock magazines. We brought new and exciting ideas to the livestock show industry. Every time we sit down to start working on our next magazine, we strive to top our previous issue. Since we began 18 years ago, all 100 issues have been better than the same issue the year before! We hope you have enjoyed watching our publication grow since 2007. Over the next several pages we share the history of The Showtimes Magazine!

In 2009 The Showtimes was only published quarterly (Winter, Spring, Summer, Fall). We wanted to fill the gap between issues, so we added two Showtimes Newsletters. These 12-36 page half sized newsletters included news, show results and ads. After two years they were replaced by full sized magazines. In 2011 we introduced the May/June Junior National Edition as well as our November/December Year End Edition!
