Livestock Quality Assurance training helps youth provide excellent care for their food animals and ensure a high level of food safety to consumers. We designed it to enhance the educational experience of 4-H animal science projects.

Do you hope to exhibit with 4-H at the Minnesota State Fair or North East Livestock Show? All 4-H 6th grade and older livestock exhibitors must complete livestock quality assurance training.

ALL Trainings must be up to date by August 10th to be eligible to accept a State Fair Livestock Trip or North East Livestock Show Trip. To complete the training online please vist https://yqcaprogram.org/
