submit your forms directly to Cari Kleen with the WCLA.

Quality Counts and the Texas Major Livestock Shows
Attention Livestock Project Exhibitors! 2013 Major Stock Show Season – The
Texas Major Shows along with the Texas 4-H/FFA program has adopted the Quality
Counts program statewide. For the upcoming major show season, all exhibitors
must have participated in Quality Counts. All exhibitors must be a Verified Quality
Counts Participants by major show entry night. In order to become verified, youth
must take a short 10 questions online exam and pass with at least 80% correct.
Don’t worry, if you don’t pass the first time, you can take the test as many times as
you need to reach the 80% mark. The online test is easy and takes less than 15
minutes to complete. You can do this in the comfort of your own home, on your
own computer, on your own time schedule! Once you have passed the exam, you
will receive a Quality Counts Exhibitor number. You can print out a certificate with
the number on it and keep it for your records. On major show entry night, you will
put your individual number on the entry forms for each major show that you plan
on attending. Exhibitors and parents, it is YOUR responsibility to ensure that you
have a Quality Counts verification number BEFORE major show entry night.
To take the Quality Counts Verification exam, please go to the Quality Counts
website at http://qualitycounts.tamu.edu and click on the verification link. From
there, you can select 4-H, and register and take the exam.
We will be sending reminders about this periodically, but I would highly encourage
everyone to take the few minutes this summer and obtain your verification
number. If you have any questions, please give Brandon a call at the Extension
office at 512-943-3300.
