If your 4-H member plans to participate in showing a small or large livestock animal this 4-H year they are required to hold this certification to do so at fair. Please see below for information and have your youth member complete this as soon as possible. Be sure to print copies of certification and keep them in a safe place as you will be required to show proof at county fairs, Saila Shows, additional live stock shows.
- Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) Certification program: Starting this year, members must pass a quiz (80%) at the end of each of the three modules on-line. This is a multi-species training program and certifies small stock and large livestock participants. The state of Arizona will continue to accept Arizona Youth Livestock Quality Assurance (YLQA) certifications through December 31, 2018, as long as they have not expired.
- Starting January 1, 2019, only YQCA certifications will be accepted.This program has the opportunity to combine on line certifications with instructor-led classes. The original plan was for 9-11 year old youth to be required to attend a face-to-face training, but for now that will not be the case.The online option costs $12 per member and the instructor led is $3 to be registered in the system. Members can go online to http://yqca.org/ and register to take the online certification training. 4-H members should sign in with their 4HOnline login so the certification will show up on their profile. Only active members will show up through the system.
Thank you!
