Colorado State Guidelines:

A Meat Quality Assurance Program is required for all 4-H members enrolled in a Market and/or Breeding Livestock Project.

  • Once as a first year member who is a Junior or Intermediate member(between the ages of 8 and 13)
  • Again when a member becomes a Senior (age is 14 years old)
  • The only exception to being required to take it twice would be for a first time member who was 14 or older, in that case it would only be required once.
  • Those members not required to attend a MQA Program are encouraged to complete a Quality Assurance Checklist.
  • To qualify for State Fair as a Swine exhibitor, Pork Quality Assurance must be taken the first three years and then again at age 15.
