Clermont County is offering several options for you to “Do it Your Way” for 2021 Youth Quality Assurance. Clermont QA must be completed by June 1, each year for the county and state fair exhibition.
Exhibitors who are taking food grade animals in the categories of market beef, market hog, market lamb, market poultry (chicken, turkey, duck), market goats (meat or dairy), market rabbits, lactating dairy cattle, and all types of dairy goats, lactating or not.
***New for Clermont 2021, Dairy Breed Goats of all ages are required to complete QA. Dairy wethers in the market show have not changed QA requirements, it is required. Wethers showed in pack, harness, or companion, that is not in the market shows, are exempt.
