An Educational Experience That Goes Beyond the Show Ring

Youth Goat Camps at the Missouri State Fairgrounds offer more than hands-on livestock learning—they provide meaningful education that builds responsibility, global awareness, and confidence.

Campers will meet ADGA Judge Daniel Laney, who will share his work through the Worldwide Goat Project in Nepal, explaining how goat husbandry education improves nutrition, income, and opportunity for families around the world. Youth will learn how proper care, structure, and selection of goats can have real-life impact—both locally and internationally.

Each child will also receive a hand-crafted goat made by women in Nepal, helping support artisans and reinforce the importance of service through agriculture.

On Thursday, May 28, youth and breeders may attend Daniel’s educational class, “Selection of Correct Type: Form and Function,” which focuses on understanding dairy goat structure and long-term functionality.

Youth Goat Camps are designed to educate, inspire, and connect young exhibitors to a larger agricultural community—one rooted in learning, compassion, and responsibility.

Arrival: May 26th after 2:00 pm. Camp begins Wednesday Morning 8:30 am sign in. Wednesday and Thursday are learning days with alot of fun activities. Friday is the final Showmanship and awards. Bring your show supplies and get ready to be busy.

Each youth entered will receive a ticket for a drawing for a fitting stand and show supplies donated by Goat Expo.
