à la foire aux bestiaux
Explanation:
this is what it is called colloquially and locally (Western France) but there are grander names now like "foire agricole" or "comice agricole". But la "foire aux bestiaux" was a local and and regular event. All depends on the context.

la foire aux bestiaux


Explanation:
Je pense que dans ce contexte, c'est le terme le plus approprie. Je viens d'un petit village de Haute-Savoie ou les paysans et les eleveurs de betails sont legion. Toutefois, ledit terme sera plutot employe pour une petite communaute rurale. Pour une grande ville, cela sera plutot "le salon de l'agriculture".
