We are so excited to announce that construction has started on the new USU Bastian Agricultural Center Youth Livestock Barn!

Salt Lake County is growing fast… and for a lot of youth, that means less space for livestock projects.

Back in 2022, three youth came to the BAC with a problem: zoning rules meant they could no longer keep their animals at home.

So, USU Extension faculty, 4-H staff and leaders, and FFA advisors teamed up to help by housing the animals at the Bastian Center — giving those youth the chance to keep their projects going.

What started with just three youth has now grown into a full livestock education program, serving more and more families every year. And today, demand for barn space is higher than ever.

These projects do more than teach agriculture — they help youth build responsibility, leadership, confidence, and real-world skills that last a lifetime.

Follow along to watch the progress of our new barn and see how this program is growing for the next generation of youth livestock exhibitors!
