terminal or partial terminal livestock in a junior livestock show

• Youth taking any species or its product that can become part of the food chain

FROM 2018 –• QA Certification must be completed at least 45 days

prior to the start of exhibition. • This includes youth exhibiting at the Ohio State Fair. If exhibition at

the Ohio State Fair is before their county fair, youth must have completed that training at least 45 days prior to exhibition at the Ohio State Fair.


• Youth must be QA Certification-eligible in their county in order to exhibit at the Ohio State Fair. • If a youth misses the county deadline for QA training, they cannot

go to another county or state-wide training after the deadline and say they are only showing at the Ohio State Fair.
