2022 YQCA Certification
Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) is a national, multi-species youth livestock quality assurance program that focuses on food safety, animal well-being, and character development, through age-appropriate educational curriculum for youth 8-21 years of age. This program is an annual certification that grows with a young person, so the learning modules are different every year. ALL livestock exhibitors (beef, swine, sheep, meat goat) are once again required to be YQCA-certified in order to participate in the 2022 Ottawa County Fair, Tri-Rivers Fair, Kansas State Fair Grand Drive, and/or Kansas Junior Livestock Show (KJLS). This includes youth who will be showing market animals, commercial breeding females, and/or registered purebred breeding females. Since the program is designed to be a national standard for youth ages 8 and older, 7-year-olds who will be participating are again exempt from completing this requirement.
If you have questions or concerns about this, please contact Justine Henderson (jwh04@ksu.edu or 785-392-2147). Also, know that if you do not wish to attend an in-person training, the online course is available. Click HERE to access the new platform and create an account to sign up for a trainning. For more details about the YQCA program, contact Justine.
