Quality Counts is designed to teach young people the importance of displaying good character in carrying out livestock projects, and in every aspect of their lives.

Here are a couple of new components of the program to be aware of: 

• Exhibitors will first be required to engage in the full learning content before being presented with the verification exam. 
  • Please be aware of this in advance as this could take around two hours for most students to complete the full content and test.
• Exhibitors will be able to start and revisit the curriculum as many times as needed.
• Exhibitors will have to complete the test once it is started.
• Exhibitors must achieve 80% or great to pass the exam, but can take it as many times as needed.
• Exhibitors will be exposed and tested on the content potentially three times in their livestock showing career: junior level (grade 3-5), intermediate level (grade 6-8), and senior level (grade 9-12).
• Exhibitors will access the course and exam at a new website:  https://www.texaslivestockvalidation.com/qc/qcregister.aspx
  • This will be connected to the current Texas Livestock Validation Website for ease-of-access to information for supervising County Extension Agents and Agricultural Science Teachers.
  • A current QC test is required for all individuals exhibiting at major stock shows in the state of Texas. 

**Verification on the old system is acceptable for State Fair of Texas and Heart 'O Texas Fair 2023 entries.** However, exhibitors may use their new number for these shows if they get verified before entry.
