Youth Sheep Expo

The ​Youth Sheep Expo was created in response to the COVID-19 pandemic during 2020. Many county 4-H fairs, state fairs, and national junior shows were cancelled due to the outbreak. This stopped our youth from exhibiting and promoting the seedstock that they had spent countless hours, dollars, and time on. Our show committee was passionate about our youth in the sheep industry and felt it was vital to offer these kids the opportunity to exhibit their sheep. We are excited to be continuing the show in 2026 for our seventh year in Greenfield, Indiana at the Hancock County Fairgrounds.

We hope you will be able to join us!
