Our Story
The Walter Gerlach Livestock Show was founded in 1973 by Walter Gerlach and his family to provide a platform for youth in the Helotes and Northside ISD community to showcase their livestock. Over the years, the show has evolved, changing its name in 1981 to honor Walter Gerlach. This organization has proudly provided over $21 million in scholarships to local youth, emphasizing traditional values such as family, volunteerism, and hard work through agriculture.
