Something For Everyone

For non-stop arena thrills, the Dixie National Rodeo kicks off on February 7th and runs through the 15th with a concert to follow. Fans can enjoy all their favorite PRCA rodeo events as cowgirls, cowboys, and livestock bring their best to the Mississippi State Fairgrounds. I love seeing the cowboys and cowgirls go out there and give it all they got; putting their hard work to the test. It’s always very empowering and inspirational. This event offers a diverse range of events that attract thousands of attendees from across the state and beyond. From the Dixie National Cutting Horse Competition and the Miss Dixie National Rodeo Queen Pageant to livestock shows, team ropings, horse sales, meet-and-greets, after-parties, live music, and much more. There’s something for everyone at the DNLSR.

Dixie National Livestock Show

While the Dixie National Livestock Show’s exciting events take center stage, the hard work and dedication of Mississippi’s youth are what truly make a difference. Livestock shows provide a platform for talented 4-H and FFA members to showcase their prized goats, cows, swine, and lambs. These young agricultural experts, who dedicate months and sometimes years to their livestock, are honing their skills and representing the future of American agriculture.

Howdy, I'm Megan deFabry. I grew up in Reno, Nevada, but since 2017 my heart has called Texas home. I now reside in Austin, Texas since 2020. I'm driven by my faith, cherished relationships with family and friends, and my professional ambitions. I'm passionate about digital marketing and journalism, especially the wide-open spaces of America's Western lifestyle, the grit of agriculture, the excitement of rodeo, and the heart of country music. For nearly a decade, I've been sharing this way of life through storytelling. And like any good cowboy tale, there's a loyal sidekick, my little Dachshund, Frank, who I adopted from a shelter in New Braunfels, Texas, back in 2018. He keeps me grounded, reminding me to chase horizons and savor life's simple joys. I graduated from Texas State University with a Bachelor of Science in Consumer Affairs and a minor in Mass Communication. My major taught me to decode consumer behavior, which is crucial for marketing, while my minor sharpened my storytelling skills. Since then, I've spent years mastering SEO and content strategy, staying ahead in a fast-moving field. My work even caught the eye of Cowboy Lifestyle Network's CTO, Irish Padmore, who recognized me for contributing to his research on Consumer Behavior in the Age of AI. Since 2018, I've been honored to work at Cowboy Lifestyle Network. Now as Editor-in-Chief writing, editing, and publishing articles that capture the cowboy spirit, crafting strategies rooted in Western values, and building real client connections. Guided by ethical journalism, I aim to tell stories that resonate and reflect the unsung heroes of the Western spirit.
