Attention Junior Fair Barrow MQP participants, parents and advisors

As you’re aware, due to the constraints of harvesting and processing we are limited in Fairfield County to only accepting 30 entries in the Jr. Fair Barrow MQP (Muscle Quality & Performance) contest. Presently 59 youth have signed up to participate in the project.

At the same time, we also know that each year several youth who sign up early in the year for Barrow MQP later choose not to purchase a barrow, decide to take their barrow for the ‘live’ show instead of MQP, or for one of a variety of other reasons they no longer plan to complete MQP.

Since the July 15 deadline for acquiring youth project pigs in Fairfield County has passed, if advisors, parents or youth know of someone who previously signed up for Barrow MQP but no longer plan to participate, we ask that you contact the OSU Extension office (740-652-7260) as soon as possible with that information. Since we have far beyond 30 youth who are interested in participating, hearing as soon as possible from those who have now made the choice not to participate will allow us to move others up on the Barrow MQP waiting list.

Thanks for your consideration and help in accommodating as many youth as possible who would like to complete the Barrow MQP project.
