The Opportunity for All Livestock Show allows youth with disabilities the opportunity to interact closely with sheep and goats. Each participant will be paired with a mentor and an animal to gain hands-on experience learning about the animals and how to care for and handle them.
Each participant will get the chance to show off their new-found skills in a non-competitive show.
No livestock experience is needed. There will also be sensory experiences and learning opportunities about other animals and parts of agriculture.
Please read through the Opportunity for All Livestock Show participant expectations before requesting accommodations.
Interested in being a mentor? We’re also looking for older youth in grades 10 and up with knowledge of sheep or goats who want to share their skills with others. Learn more and become a mentor.
