YQCA Requirement
Members that wish to sell at the livestock premium sale, must meet the minimum weight requirements of the species in which they are enrolled. Also, they must be YQCA certified. This means they must attend a YQCA meeting or complete an online course for YQCA. Once the member completes the certification, they are to let Stephanie Bogdahn, Elk County Livestock Sale Committee Secretary/Treasurer know. YQCA stands for Youth for Quality Care of Animals.
Two YQCA meetings will be held in the Rolling Prairie District:
Wednesday, March 26 -- Howard @ 6:30 p.m.
Wednesday, April 23 -- Sedan @ 6:30 p.m.
YQCA must be completed by July 1.
