K-State Junior Sheep Producer Day Registration Deadline Approaching
The 2026 K-State Junior Sheep Producer Day will be held on Saturday, April 11, 2026, at the Bilbrey Family Event Center, located north of 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, nutrition, reproduction, health and wellness, facilities and equipment, wool, clipping and grooming, and showmanship.
An optional instructor-led YQCA session will be offered at the conclusion of the program. The K-State Sheep & Meat Goat Center will also provide an opportunity to tour their facility on the Friday evening before junior day, as well as following the program on Saturday afternoon.
The cost for the junior sheep producer day is $20 per person if registration is submitted by March 20, 2026. All attendees, including youth and adults, must register. Only those who register by the deadline will receive a t‐shirt. Families may register online at https://bit.ly/SheepJrProducer.
