The return of Farmfair International attracted more than 1,000 livestock entries — more than it did in 2019 before being shut down by the pandemic, organizers said.

Exhibitors came from across the Prairies as well as Ontario and B.C. The Edmonton event’s international buyers program drew 18 delegates from Mexico, Argentina, Scotland, South Africa, Brazil, Australia, and the U.S.
