The OH Ranch Branded Beef Youth Ambassador program was launched in the fall of 2024 and will provide a unique and lucrative opportunity for youth, ages 14-18, to become a part of the only program of its kind offered in Canada. With the implementation of this homegrown program, the Calgary Stampede and its supporters will facilitate this unique opportunity for youth to receive top-class agri-educational experiences which will assist in their growth and development to become leaders in the agriculture industry. This exciting new youth agriculture program will involve many facets of the Calgary Stampede team including the Calgary Stampede’s OH Ranch, the Livestock Competitions Committee, the long-standing Junior Steer Classic show as well as International Livestock Auctioneers competitors. For more information about the OH Ranch Branded Beef Youth Ambassador Program please contact Livestock Competitions Program Manager, Susan Peterson at 403.261.0312 or email speterson@calgarystampede.com.
