Grand Island,NE -- When the Aksarben Stock Show kicks off, nerves will certainly be high for all competitors but in this case, maybe their sponsors as well. Sponsors will be right there with each exhibitor in four categories of the 2024 Challenge Program. The Aksarben Stock Show is showcasing the drive of their annual Challenge Program which pairs a sponsor with a youth exhibitor who will raise and show a calf, goat, lamb or pig during the 2024 event. This event will feature a total of 40 sponsors, each of whom have received photos and written updates of their sponsored animal over the last 6 months.
