Meet the Youth Goat Camp Instructors
This year we have several special speakers during the Youth Goat Camps.
Some parents wait until their child struggles to gain confidence in the ring.
Others prepare them before that moment ever happens.
The Youth Goat Camps are filling quickly. Sign up by clicking here.
Evie Gates: Market
The kids who succeed in the market goat ring are not always the ones with the most expensive goats.
They are the ones who understand:
How to read their animal
How to move with confidence
How to present themselves with purpose
How to stay calm under pressure
These are skills that can be taught.
Market Youth Goat Camp at Goat Expo is designed to help young exhibitors step into the ring prepared — mentally and physically.
Instructor Evie Gates has spent her lifetime developing these skills and now teaches them to the next generation.
If your child wants to compete with confidence, this is where it starts.
Brianna Burton: Dairy
Some young exhibitors walk into the ring unsure.
Others walk in prepared.
They understand their goat.
They know how to set feet.
They can answer questions.
They carry themselves with confidence.
These skills are learned — not inherited.
Dairy Youth Goat Camp with instructor Brianne Burton helps youth develop real showmanship ability and competitive readiness.
Master Fiber Goat Mentors: Pam Marshal and Dorothy McClure
Heritage Skills • National Judging Expertise • Hands-On Fiber Production
Not many youth today understand where luxury fiber truly comes from.
Fewer still know how to care for fiber animals, evaluate fleece quality, or transform raw fiber into usable products.
Fiber Goat Camp offers a rare opportunity to learn skills that combine livestock knowledge with creative fiber arts — guided by national-level mentors.
Both Youth and Adults may enter this camp.
This is one of the only youth fiber goat learning experiences of its kind.
If your child has interest in fiber animals, crafting, or sustainable farming — this is the moment to support that passion.
