The Nebraska Sheep and Goat Producers (NSGP) will host their 2025 Annual Meeting Nov. 14–15 in Columbus, featuring producer tours, educational seminars, a banquet, and opportunities to connect with fellow sheep and goat producers from across the state.
This year’s meeting will include two farm tours on Friday afternoon: Shepard Hill’s confinement-based sheep operation in Osmond, and Went Show Goats in Columbus, which provides high-quality does and wethers for all levels of competition. The evening will continue with a social hour, the annual banquet supper, presentation of the Ted and Alice Doane Award, and the annual business meeting. A silent auction will also open during the evening events.
Saturday’s program at Wunderlich’s Barley Room in Columbus will highlight educational sessions on biosecurity, nutrition, health, wool options, and lamb processing, along with a producer panel. Featured presenters include Micheal Gibson of the Nebraska Department of Agriculture, Cody Chamblis, Kelly Froehlick, Lynn Fahrmeier of the American Sheep Industry Association, and Spence Rule of 3R Lamb Processors.
Registration is open now. Pre-registration is $20 for NSGP members ($30 at the door) and $70 for non-members ($80 at the door). Registration includes Friday’s dinner and Saturday’s lunch.
