It was a record-breaking year for the Trinity Valley Exposition (TVE), with the 2025 Youth Livestock Sale raising a staggering $1,503,489 \u2014 and that total doesn\u2019t even include add-ons, sponsorships, rodeo attendance, or other event revenue. The $1.5 million goes directly to youths in the area through the purchases of their livestock animals and show entries.<\/p>\n

TVE Board President Cory Anderson said the total marks a 33 percent increase over last year\u2019s sale. <\/p>\n

\u201cWe were up by a big margin. We had a couple of new buyers who spent quite a bit of money on our kids\u2019 projects,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Anderson credited the growth to the volunteers and supporters who worked tirelessly to fill the seats with buyers and community members eager to invest in local youth. <\/p>\n

\u201cOur volunteers put in a lot of effort getting additional buyers in the seats for the youth livestock auction,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

The strong turnout and enthusiastic participation helped make this year\u2019s event one of the most successful in TVE\u2019s long history. Anderson said this year\u2019s success sets a new standard moving forward. <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cThe bar has been set pretty high. We have a lot to live up to next year,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n

Founded in 1909, the Trinity Valley Exposition is one of Liberty County\u2019s oldest and most cherished traditions, celebrating the region\u2019s agricultural roots while providing opportunities for young people to showcase their hard work and dedication. Each October, TVE hosts a variety of events, including livestock shows, rodeo competitions, carnival attractions, parades, and live entertainment, drawing thousands of visitors from across Southeast Texas.<\/p>\n

The Youth Livestock Show and Sale remains the heart of TVE, giving students the chance to earn money for future agricultural and educational pursuits. <\/p>\n
