Youth Meat Quality Assurance (YMQA) Certification
4-H & FFA members with MARKET and/or BREEDING livestock projects are required to complete Youth Meat Quality Assurance (YMQA) Certification. If you have never taken this program and did not take the program for a second time last year after you turned 14, you must attend a certification. For the purposes of YMQA, livestock is defined as BREEDING AND MARKET BEEF, DAIRY, SHEEP, SWINE, GOATS, RABBITS AND POULTRY. Horse projects are excluded from YMQA requirements.
Weld County members may complete certification in any county in the state. If attending in another county, please call their Extension Agent in advance to confirm your participation in their program and, find out specific time, location and directions to the training.
