SAN ANTONIO, TEXAS (RFD NEWS) — The San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo has officially wrapped up for the year, but the excitement surrounding the event is far from over. For exhibitors, the show represents months of preparation, dedication, and hard work that often begins well before the first animal ever enters the ring.
Kirbe Schnoor caught up with a young stock show participant, Abigail Smelley, who has been putting in the work since last fall, highlighting the commitment required to compete at one of the nation’s largest livestock exhibitions.
Organizers say the next San Antonio Stock Show and Rodeo will return in February 2027.
