On May 18 students from UC Davis held their second annual Aggie Spring Classic Jackpot Show at the Dixon Fairgrounds. For a small entry fee, returned as prize money, hundreds of California youths came and exhibited their livestock. Breeders and livestock enthusiasts donated numerous other awards. More than 250 exhibitors brought 325 animals including sheep, goats, beef cattle and pigs.

Planning for the event was started in September 2001 by the Young Cattlemen's Club, most of whose members are Animal Science students. They set a budget, outlined their goals and later added an option for students to earn units for the activity, attracting a wider range of students. They worked on fundraising, budgeting, purchasing awards, contract negotiations, advertising and scheduling of the event. More than 45 students and numerous faculty and staff helped to make the second annual Aggie Spring Classic a huge success. Undergraduates Katrina Inchauspe, Garrett Pedretti, Jamie Frayne, Gill Ferguson, Erika Sharfen and Darcy Machado were some of the key leaders for the event. Next year's event is tentatively scheduled for May 17.
