K-State Junior Sheep Producer Day Registration Deadline Approaching
The 2024 K-State Junior Sheep Producer Day will be hosted on Saturday, March 16, 2024, in historic Weber Arena on the K‐State campus in Manhattan. This one‐day educational event is devoted to the selection and management of youth sheep projects. All ages and knowledge levels are invited! K‐State faculty members, graduate students, undergraduate students, former exhibitors, and guest speakers will cover topics including selection, meat science, nutrition, reproduction, the starter flock program, wool, health and wellness, facilities and equipment, clipping and grooming, and showmanship.
An optional instructor led YQCA session will be offered at the conclusion of the program. A session over the state livestock nomination process will also be provided at the end of the day, concurrently with the youth YQCA training. So, parents can come learn about state nominations while the kids earn their YQCA certification!
The cost for junior sheep producer day is $20 per person, if registration is submitted by February 26, 2024, or $25 per person after the early deadline. All attendees, including youth and adults, must register. Only those who register by February 26 will receive a t‐shirt. Families may register online at http://bit.ly/ksuasiregister.
