Quality Counts

This is a reminder that Quality Counts verification is required for all major livestock show entries this year, including State Fair of Texas and Heart ‘O Texas Fair. This verification needs to be completed prior to livestock show entry.

This online course is designed for 4-H and FFA members participating in livestock projects. The curriculum is divided up into different age groups to provide each learner with appropriate, hands-on material.

The primary objectives of the Quality Counts Program are to enable elementary through high school-age students to understand the relationship between good character and safe food practices and to apply knowledge regarding the ethical implications of livestock raising decisions.

Note: It may take up to 1 hour to receive your Quality Counts number after completion of this course.

Exhibitors only need to be verified once as a Junior (grades 3-5), once as an Intermediate (grades 6-8), and once as a Senior (grades 9-12). Exhibitors do NOT have to complete the curriculum/exam every year.
