Quality Assurance & Ethics Certification is now REQUIRED Quality Assurance & Ethics Certification is now mandatory for 4-H exhibition. ALL 4-H'ers enrolled in beef, dairy, goats, horses, poultry, sheep, and swine are required to complete this online ethics training course in order to participate in a livestock project (includes Animal Science display project). If you have already completed this training in the past you will be grandfathered in and will not be required to repeat the certification. You must complete the training for one species (even if you show more than one). The QAEC has been developed to review what is expected of youth when preparing for and exhibiting animals in competition. Once you complete this course, you will receive a certificate of completion and will then be eligible to show in any 4-H livestock project area at both the county and state fairs. Deadline to complete this training is June 1. Failure to do so will result in the 4-H'er being removed from the livestock project area. If you are not sure if you have taken the training in the past, contact your county Extension Office & they will be glad to look up your information. Don't wait...get it done now!
