K-State Junior Meat Goat Producer Day Registration Closes Soon
The 2025 K-State Junior Meat Goat Producer Day will be hosted on Saturday, March 22, 2025, at the Stanley Stout Center, which is north of campus in Manhattan. This one‐day educational event is devoted to the selection and management of youth meat goat 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, nutrition, reproduction, health and wellness, facilities and equipment, clipping and grooming, and showmanship. The registration deadline is quickly approaching on February 26!
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, for those interested in nominating livestock for the Kansas State Fair Grand Drive and/or KJLS.
The cost for junior meat goat producer day is $20 per person, if registration is submitted by February 26, 2025. All attendees, including youth and adults, must register. The program is limited to 400 participants and may close early if the available spots are filled before the deadline. Only those who register by the deadline will receive a t‐shirt.
