Youth Quality Assurance
<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

If a youth is planning on selling a market animal in the 4-H sale at the Laramie County Fair, the youth is required to take QA once in each 4-H age group they are registered in (once as a junior 8-10, once as an intermediate 11-13, and once as a senior 14-18). Ages are based on the youth\u2019s 4-H age (age as of Jan. 1st of the 4-H year: The age the youth was on Jan. 1, 2022). This includes both large and small market animal sellers.<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Youth Quality Assurance<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\r\n

All Intermediate and Senior youth who require quality assurance will be taking the online course.\u00a0 This course does cost $12.00.\u00a0 IF this creates a hardship for a family, scholarships are available to assist with the cost.\u00a0 We feel that the quality of this Quality Assurance curriculum is strong and will provide youth with current information and knowledge that will help them as they raise their livestock projects.\u00a0 We will continue to have face-to -face Junior Quality Assurance classes.\u00a0 The juniors need that face-to-face interaction with other youth in their project area, as well as they get to know the Educator who is teaching that class.\u00a0 If a family struggles with internet at their home and they are unable to get online to complete the course, please call Brittany to schedule a time to complete the course in our office.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Listed below are the directions to complete the course through zSuite.\u00a0 Please call the Extension office to get a coupon code from Brittany.\u00a0 Do not pay directly to the YQCA website.\u00a0 Paying through the YQCA website makes it difficult for us to track.\u00a0 After the class, you will need to provide a copy of the certificate of completion to our office.\u00a0 I have also attached the class curriculum map from YQCA.\u00a0 It is listed directly above the class the 4-H age (age as of January 1, 2022) of the child who should take that class.\u00a0 If you have any questions or concerns, call our office and we can guide you through which classes your child needs to take and answer any additional questions.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\r\n

Rabbits<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/h1>\r\n

\r\n\r\n<\/p>\r\n

Rabbit raising is a good 4-H project because it requires only a small investment and limited space.\u00a0 It does, however, require careful management.\u00a0 Members should decide whether they want to raise rabbits for meat, fur, wool, laboratory use, or showing, and select the best breed for the purpose. <\/span>Rabbit<\/span><\/strong><\/a><\/span><\/p>\r\n
