Due to the ongoing Foot and Mouth Disease (FMD) outbreak and its impact on stakeholder participation, exhibitors (in the livestockecosystem), and expected attendance, the Youth Livestock Farmers Day event has been postponed until further notice.

The decision was made in the best interest of the livestock sector and all stakeholders involved. We appreciate your continued support and understanding during this time.

A new date will be announced in due course.

Just a reminder that due to the FMD restrictions, there will be no cloven-hoofed livestock on display at this year's YLFD event.
