Youth will have two opportunities to test-out of Quality Assurance, this year. Below are the test-out dates, times and locations. Youth can come anytime during the designated time frame and should allot approximately an hour to complete the test.
| February 18, 2019 | OSU Extension | Test Out | 9 a.m.-3 p.m. |
| February 20, 2019 | OSU Extension | Test Out | 3 p.m. – 6 p.m. |
Youth who are between the ages of 12 and 18 as of January 1, 2019 are eligible to take a test developed for their age level. 4-H or FFA members who pass the test will be exempt from the quality assurance requirement until they move to the next age bracket, or are no longer a Junior Fair market livestock exhibitor. There are two age groups: 12-14 and 15-18.
FFA and 4-H members who are planning to exhibit a food quality animal for the 2019 Clermont County Fair must participate in Assuring Quality Care for Animals (aka QA Training).
Youth exhibiting the following animals MUST attend AQCA training each year, unless they have completed and passed the test out option:
- market steers/heifers
- feeder calves
- lactating dairy goats
- lactating dairy cattle
- market lambs
- market hogs
- market goats
- market poultry
- meat rabbits
Stay tuned for additional information as we are working to finalize Quality Assurance dates for in-person training.
