Meat Quality Assurance

Youth Meat Quality Assurance (YMQA) Certification

4-H & FFA members with MARKET and/or BREEDING livestock projects are required to complete Youth Meat Quality Assurance (YMQA) Certification.  If you have never taken this program and did not take the program for a second time last year after you turned 14, you must attend a certification. For the purposes of YMQA, livestock is defined as BREEDING AND MARKET BEEF, DAIRY, SHEEP, SWINE, GOATS, RABBITS AND POULTRY.  Horse projects are excluded from YMQA requirements.

YMQA is an open book test members will take.  We have multiple stations set up for members to learn from.  You will need an 80% to pass.  

The spring YMQA trainings in Weld County will be held:

  • March 25, 2026 from 4:00-7:00 p.m. in the 4-H Building, 527 N. 15th Avenue, Greeley, CO

The training takes approximately one hour to complete.  Please arrive no later than 6:00 p.m. to get through all of the stations.

Weld County members may complete certification in any county in the state.  If attending in another county, please call their Extension Agent in advance to confirm your participation in their program and, find out specific time, location and directions to the training.

To see if you need to take MQA for the 2026-2027 year, please view the 2026-2027 Meat Quality Assurance List, Updated October 26, 2026.
