For the first time since 2019, Little International and the iconic green chips have finally returned at full capacity to South Dakota State University’s campus. The 99th Little International is a two-day event hosted by a staff of over 140 SDSU students that features high school FFA Career Development contests on Friday with collegiate livestock shows on Saturday. 99th Little I Manager Grady Gullickson says there is a lot of excitement about the full return of this event.

Students of all majors from SDSU are eligible to show livestock in either novice or experienced show categories offering options for everyone to participate. Gullickson says the event has a long-lasting tradition of highlighting agriculture in the Midwest.

Saturdays shows are open to the public at the Animal Science Arena on SDSU’s campus as well as being streamed live on Walton Webcasting. To find the live stream link check out SDSU Little Internationals page on Facebook.
