On Friday, Oct. 4 and Saturday, Oct. 5, Middle Tennessee State University’s Tennes- see Livestock Center in Murfreesboro once again plays host to the Heart of Tennessee Junior Meat Goat Classic.

Saturday features the Wether, Commercial Doe, and Registered Doe show. Rounding out the event will be the Adult Showman- ship Class, which raises funds for the show. Individuals who have aged out of 4-H or FFA may enter the adult class by paying the $10 fee upon entry.
