Verification of Quality Counts demonstrates that 4-H and FFA youth have a base knowledge of the principles of quality assurance and good moral character. 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/
