Meat Quality Assurance Classes

Next date: Tuesday, March 28, 2023 | 04:00 PM to 07:00 PM

Weld County 4-H and FFA members enrolling in any market and/or breeding livestock or small animal projects for the first time regardless of age, must attend a Colorado Meat Quality Assurance (MQA) program. 4-H and FFA members will be required to attend a Face to Face Colorado MQA program a minimum of twice during the course of their career – once as a junior (8-13 years old, age as of December 31st) and once again within one year after becoming a senior (14-18 years old, age as of December 31st) member. The virtual MQA training last year was valid for one year only.

Weld County 4-H is providing three MQA Trainings on a Face to Face basis in 2022-2023.

We will offer this MQA Training on the following dates:

• Sunday, October 2nd from 1:00-4:00 p.m. - Please arrive no later than 3:00 p.m.
• Tuesday, March 28th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. - Please arrive no later than 6:00 p.m.
• Wednesday, March 29th from 4:00-7:00 p.m. - Please arrive no later than 6:00 p.m.

You can view an updated MQA list(PDF, 234KB) with the members who were enrolled last year. This list will let you know if you need to take the MQA training. If you are planning on attending the MQA training, please fill out the MQA form(PDF, 154KB) and bring it with you.

This spring there may be a virtual MQA training offered that is valid for one year.
