The Animal Science Discover Day is inviting all youth aged 8-18 years old to participate in a day filled with activities that focus on livestock production and careers. Taking place on May 29th from 9:00am to 3:30pm in Curtis, NE on the NCTA Campus, this event promises to be an engaging and fun experience for participants of all ages.
