2012 International Poultry Expo Dates And Times Are Changing

Mar 31, 2011

The 2012 International Poultry Expo, co-located with the International Feed Expo, is moving to a Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday format.
The entire week in which the International Poultry Expo will be held has been officially designated as "IPE Week," with an emphasis on educational programs rounding out the week-long event. With the Expo starting at noon on Tuesday, the shift will help allow an increase in the amount of education programs available at the front and back end of the Expo.

“Our long-standing International Poultry Scientific Forum, Pet Food Conference, Animal Agriculture Sustainability Summit, and USPOULTRY Education Programs are an important part of IPE and provide people with an additional purpose for attending the Expo,” comments John Starkey, president of US Poultry & Egg Association

Video: Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

What started as a disappointment turned into a day full of surprises, fun, and celebration as we leave Ewetopia Farms behind and head out to the Kingston Fair to watch the 4H sheep show

Today’s vlog was supposed to be another sheep shearing day here at Ewetopia Farms, but when our shearer had to cancel, we suddenly found ourselves with an unexpected free day. Lucky for us, the Kingston Fair was happening — and some of our own sheep (and friends) were competing!

We brought along our shearing helper and headed to the fairgrounds to cheer on the 4H kids and see how our sheep did in the show. From last-minute preparations and sheep showmanship to market lamb competitions and ewe classes, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like at a country fair.

We couldn’t be prouder — our girls walked away with wins in both showmanship and breeding ewe classes! Afterwards, we toured the fair, met a beekeeper with fascinating insights, admired other livestock shows, and wrapped up the evening with motocross stunts and a demolition derby!

Sometimes farm life throws curveballs — but today, it gave us the chance to celebrate community, our sheep, and the next generation of shepherds.
