4-H: Where Change Makes Cents
Look for jars in your district and give back to the Texas 4-H Center! The Texas 4-H Council has initiated a year-long community service project to enhance the 4-H Center and provide resources to a facility that the entire 4-H community can enjoy! At the next council meeting each club will receive a jar to collect change to be returned at the June Council meeting. Let's help make Change!!

Kaufman County Junior Livestock Show adds Quality Counts
The Kaufman County Junior Livestock Show added to the entry form the space for the Quality Counts number.
4-H and FFA have been involved in character education for more than 100 years. Quality Counts is our way of showcasing this character education and at the same time showing our commitment to producing a safe and wholesome livestock product for the consumer.
Verification of Quality Counts is a natural extension of this effort to demonstrate that 4-H and FFA youth have a base knowledge of the principles of quality assurance and good moral character.
Now and in the near future many local and major livestock shows will require that a youth exhibitor demonstrate this base knowledge by taking the online Quality Counts Verification test and obtaining a Verification Number. This can be accomplished through this web site! http://agrilife.org/qualitycounts/verification/
If you need help completing the online quiz please contact the county extension office and we can direct you to some resources. Short notice I know but it was not in the rule book and I just found it on the BACK of the entry form.
