3 January/February, 2018 All market and lactating animal exhibitors must attend a Quality Assurance Session within the State of Ohio in order to exhibit an animal at the Miami County Fair. The session must be conducted by a qualified instructor. Exhibitors ages have the option to take a test given by a qualified instructor to test out of Quality Assurance. There are two separate tests. One for year olds and one for year olds (Age as of January 1st). If you test out when you are 12, 13, or 14, you will have to test again when you turn 15. The test is 50 multiple choice questions and you must score at least a 70% (35 out of 50). The test is given in two categories - large (sheep, beef, goats, and dairy) and small (poultry and rabbits) animals. If you exhibit in both, you can choose which test to take. The testing will be held at the Fairgrounds in the Secretary s Office on two dates: Test Out Option March 17th from 1:00 pm 3:00 pm *Preregister by March 14th March 20th from 6:00 pm 8:00 pm *Preregister by March 16th Please call the Extension office at to register.

4 January/February, 2018 Attention Please Page 4 Fair News The mandatory weigh-in for market steers and market heifers is on Saturday, January 13th from 10:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. in the cattle barn. There will be a Swine Committee Meeting on Monday, January 15, at 7:00 p.m. in the Miami County Fair Office. Swine Exhibitors Youth For the Quality Care of Animals (YQCA ) is replacing Youth PQA plus. Ohio has been at the table for the development of YQCA, however as a state we are not adopting YQCA in 2018 as our curriculum or means to teach Livestock Quality Assurance. YQCA will only be needed by those youth exhibitors who wish to show hogs at a National Pork Board sanctioned show such as National Jr. Swine Show, World Pork Expo, etc. It will also be required by the National Western Livestock Show (Denver) for junior market livestock exhibitors. If a youth s certification in Youth PQA plus has not expired, then it will be honored by Pork Board until certification expires, then they will have to do YQCA. Youth exhibitors will be able to take an online version of YCQA by signing up and paying a fee to receive a certificate. Youth PQA plus training will still be in effect through National Pork Board until the end of 2018, so youth showing at these shows can QA certify with either program. For 2018, Ohio is continuing to utilize our Ohio AQCA curriculum and policies that we currently have in place. Thus, there will be no change in county quality assurance training for There will continue to be test out and face-to-face options available. Thus, any form of online quality assurance training, including YQCA, will not be accepted for completion of quality assurance training in Ohio. Upcoming Horse Events January 27, 2018: State 4-H Horse Advisors & Volunteer Training and State 4-H Horse Program Youth Recognition Nationwide and Ohio Farm Bureau 4-H Center, Columbus Registrations are due by January 15.

Sheep and Goat Identification All sheep and goats are required to have official scrapie identification unless they are wethers less than 18 months of age. Sheep and goats born after January 1, 2002 must have official USDA identification and be identified to the flock of birth. As of October 1, 2017, the USDA no longer distributes plastic scrapie tags and applicators. Due to budget cuts, USDA will only be able to provide metal tags. Producers may request free metal tags by calling 866-USDA-TAG. Otherwise they should purchase their own official ear tags/devices from approved tag companies. Note: Sheep and goats with blue slaughter-only/ meat tags cannot be used for exhibition, companion/ lawnmower, or breeding purposes. Additional information from USDA-APHIS and ODA about scrapie ID requirements and restrictions for 4-H exhibitors can be found at: ohio4h.org/ statewideprograms/animal-sciences/goat/goat-resources. 3 rd Annual Meat Judging Clinic The 3 rd Annual Meat Judging Student Clinic will be held Saturday, January 20, 2018, at the Animal Sciences Building on the OSU Columbus Campus.
