Quality Assurance training is required for 4-H & FFA youth who plan to exhibit beef, dairy, swine, sheep, goats, rabbits and/or poultry at the Brown County Youth Fair.  Youth must complete the QA training in its entirety or successfully "test out" of the program. Testing opportunities will be available at ALL livestock tag-ins.

Youth that do not attend a QA session or test out of QA WILL NOT BE PERMITTED to enter or exhibit livestock at the Brown County Junior Fair or at the Ohio State  Junior Fair. If participants arrive late or leave early, the attendance requirement will not be met.

TEST OUT OPTION:

Ages   12-14 (intermediate) or 15-18 (Senior). Youth who pass the test will be exempt from attending one of the annual QA certification programs until they move to the next age bracket. Tests may be taken only once each program year and exhibitors must achieve a qualifying score.

Youth ages 9-11, including those who are 8 and in the 3rd grade must attend a Quality Assurance session yearly until they reach the "test out" age.

Any participant who does not pass the will need to attend one of the QA sessions

All the QA details are included on your letters you received from the extension office. Please read these letter completely. They contain valuable information about your projects and the requirements that must be met in order to show.
