Hello Ward County 4-H Families:The Annual Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) is now active. All youth showing RABBITS, POULTRY, BEEF, DAIRY CATTLE, GOATS, SHEEP, and SWINE are required to be certified by JULY 18, 2023 for the 2023 North Dakota State Fair or they will NOT be allowed to exhibit their livestock at the show.
This is an exciting opportunity to educate our young people in North Dakota on the importance of animal care, food safety, and to better prepare them for future roles in agriculture. It is essential for our youth to know their role in providing safe products to consumers. We are excited to utilize YQCA to “make the best better.”
