YQCA is a program developed to educate 4-H members on live-stock care and quality. YQCA training is required to be completed

in order to exhibit animal projects at the Marshall County 4-H Fair. YQCA is required to exhibit the following livestock and/or projects: beef cattle, dairy cattle, horse and pony, swine, sheep, meat goats,

dairy goats, pygmy goats, poultry, rabbits, dogs, cats, and pocket pets (only Market Animals are required for State Fair exhibition).

YQCA must be taken annually, meaning if you took it last year, you will need to complete the training again for the 2019 4-H Year. The

content will be different than last year. New this year– there is a test out option for intermediate and senior levels. If interested in

more information, please check our website.

Online training can be taken at anytime. For face to face training the cost is $3, online training is $12. You must pre-register online for the face to face training through the web address below prior

to attending the class.

Upcoming YQCA Trainings:

May 10 at 6:30 PM in St. Joseph County

May 28 at 5:30 PM at Triton High School
