Spring Expo is a great opportunity for students to learn not only from the Ridgetown faculty, but also from each other. This student run event allows participants the opportunity to learn the fundamentals of animal care, animal handling and livestock showmanship from a hand-picked team of experienced upperclassmen. Spring Expo gives students the chance to showcase their training in an on-campus livestock competition for all to attend. We hope to see you there.
