Quality Counts Requirements for Major Shows

As of today, only 17 Bastrop County 4-H members have completed the requirements for Quality Counts certification, which will be required when you enter major livestock shows.  If you plan to show any species of livestock at Fort Worth, San Antonio, San Angelo, Houston or Star of Texas Livestock Shows in the spring of 2013, you MUST complete the Quality Counts training and obtain your certification number.    Major show entries are due in the Extension office November 7 - 9, and you must have your certification number at that time to put on the entry cards.  If your number is not on your entry card, the livestock shows will reject your entry.  Go to http://qualitycounts.tamu.edu to begin your Quality Counts training today.  Don't wait until the last minute!
