Meat Quality Assurance Programs
April 17, 2012
May 15, 2012
There will be two programs offered in 2012, both from 4-7 pm.
Guidelines according to the State 4-H Office; anyone with a market livestock or breeding project who has not attended a training must do so, including poultry, rabbits and goats; anyone who was a junior last year and moving to senior (14 years old before January 1, 2012 or born in 1997) must also attend a training.
Those individuals in the Market Swine project have different guidelines that are set by the National Pork Producers Council. Everyone enrolled in a market livestock or breeding project must sign a quality assurance statement on a yearly basis. This includes all new 4-H members with livestock projects. Members that don’t meet these requirements cannot participate at the county fair, State Fair, National Western, or any other major show.
NO EXCEPTIONS
Fair Board is requiring that all 4-H/FFA Members meet this requirement in order to show at the Morgan County Fair.
Premise ID:
ALL LIVESTOCK EXHIBITORS (including rabbit, poultry and
horses) MUST HAVE A PREMISES ID TO EXHIBIT AT THE MORGAN COUNTY
FAIR.
