Livestock Learning Night - Nov 2025

Join us on Tuesday, November 25th to earn your Youth for the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA) certification. For AGES 8-19 only.

YQCA is a national multi-species quality assurance program for youth that teaches youth how to properly care for their animals, and is used across the country in 4-H and FFA livestock shows, fairs, and future agricultural careers.  It helps young livestock exhibitors learn about animal well-being, food safety, and life skills that build responsible future farmers.
