Quality Assurance and Horse Safety & Ethics Training

4-H and FFA members who are planning to exhibit a food quality animal for the 2020 Clermont County Fair must participate in Assuring Quality Care for Animals (a.k.a. QA Training).

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

All exhibitors needing AQCA training must have it completed by June 1st of the current year to be eligible to show and sell at the county and state fair.  Exhibitors who attend a training in another county are responsible for submitting their paperwork to OSU Extension – Clermont County by June 1st.  FFA members may meet the qualification through their Agriculture Education coursework. FFA Advisers must turn in a list of those who completed by June 1st to OSU Extension – Clermont County. This includes neighboring county Ag Ed/FFA programs too.

4-H and FFA members who are planning to exhibit an equine project for the first time (regardless of age) must participate in Horse Safety and Ethics.
