Intern Introduction for Goat Expo 2026
Our Interns for 2026
We are thrilled to welcome this year’s group of talented and passionate interns to the Goat Expo team! Each of these young women brings a wealth of experience, dedication, and enthusiasm for agriculture and livestock, making them invaluable assets to ensuring a seamless experience for vendors and attendees alike.
Karlea Bolser, a 17-year-old senior at Santa Fe High School, has been involved in 4-H and FFA since age eight. She has shown sheep, goats, horses, and poultry, and her passion for livestock led her to build her own Boer goat herd. Karlea’s achievements include Grand Champion Showman at Youth Goat Camp in 2024, and she plans to study Agricultural Business at Missouri Valley College to inspire future generations in agriculture.
Tatem Nichols, a 15-year-old sophomore from Columbia, MO, has been showing goats for six years and now owns her own goat farm. Tatem is excited to share her knowledge and help others gain confidence and experience in the show ring, just as Goat Camp helped her come out of her shell.
Bailee Vogel, a 16-year-old junior at Sacred Heart High School, has been showing goats for six years. She is an active member of 4-H and NHS. She was the Grand Champion Intermediate Showman at the Market Youth Goat Camp in 2022 and continues to excel in the goat industry as a result of her dedication. Bailee’s love for the industry stems from the support and mentorship she received, and she is eager to pay it forward by helping younger participants at Goat Expo.
