Beginning in 2012, Quality Counts Training verification will be required for all youth exhibiting livestock - market &/or breeding - at major livestock shows in Texas.

The verification process will require all 4H & FFA livestock exhibitors to successfully pass an on-line exam to ensure that their livestock projects meet all food quality standards as well as indicating their knowledge level of honorable personal character traits.

Exhibitors need to be verified once as a junior exhibitor (13 years of age or younger) and once again as a senior exhibitor (14 years and older).

Exhibitors must score 80% or above (may take test as many times as needed). Upon passing the exam, exhibitors will be given a verification number to present with their entry information for major livestock shows.

Exhibitor verification must be completed before show entry.

If exhibitors are 4H & FFA members, they will only need one verification number.

**All Henrietta FFA members will receive this training as a part of their regular agriscience class curriculum.
