Below are the 2023 program offerings from the Wisconsin Youth Livestock Program. Programming includes 3 virtual animal sciences sessions. First one is January 9th. We will be offering tours of the new Meat Science Building on 3 designated dates only. We will host a carcass judges training for those that want to judge carcass shows. 4-H Meats Judging and 4-H State Quiz Bowl and Skillathon are scheduled as well. Please click on the links for more information on program offerings and how to sign up. These make great educational programming opportunities for all youth and those that exhibit at fairs.
