CANCELLED:  The impact of COVID-19 (novel coronavirus) continues to create uncertainty and concern both globally and here in our community. In accordance with University of Illinois policy, Illinois Extension has deployed public health strategies designed to protect everyone’s health and safety. THIS HAS BEEN RESCHEDULED FOR JUNE 2.

Beginning in 2019-2020 Illinois 4-H requires all youth ages 8-18 enrolled in livestock projects complete annual quality assurance certification through the Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) program.

Youth MUST take this training prior to making their county 4-H show entries. (Entries will NOT be approved for a live animal exhibit unless training is complete.) This does not apply to youth exhibiting only animal or veterinary science poster/display projects.

Youth MUST pre-register at the YQCA website & pay online; no walk-in registrations or money can be taken the day of the training.
