Livestock Intern- Market Week

Livestock Intern- Market Week 

Reports To: Livestock Manager 

The American Royal continues to be a nationally recognized brand of excellence for over a century. The American Royal began in 1899 as the National Hereford Show and has evolved into a comprehensive season of food and agriculture activity with a yearlong impact. Today’s American Royal is the home to a nationally competitive youth livestock show, the world’s largest barbecue competition, a national equine championship, youth and professional rodeos, elementary and secondary education outreach, and a collegiate scholarship program. People travel to the American Royal from every state. BBQ teams come from around the globe. 

The American Royal mission, to be the Nation’s leader in food and agriculture education, events, and engagement, is the foundation for the current activities and the driving force for future innovation and growth. With a long-standing history in Kansas City and brand prominence worldwide, the American Royal is poised to significantly increase its relevance and impact in food and agriculture with the development of a new home, a food and agriculture event, education, and entertainment epicenter.
