4-H/FFA Quality Counts Training set for Dec. 13 in LubbockTexas The Texas AgriLife Extension Service will conduct a multi-county 4-H and FFA Quality Counts Training beginning at 8:30 a.m., Dec. 13 at the Texas AgriLife Research and Extension Center in Lubbock. "This Quality Counts beef, lamb, goat and swine training is intended to provide an educational opportunity for both new and experienced (4-H and FFA) livestock exhibitors and their families," said Robert Scott, AgriLife Extension agent in Lubbock County. "The main purpose is to teach the basic principles of livestock management as they relate to facility maintenance, selection, nutrition, animal health, handling, showmanship and transportation." Scott said quality assurance programs meant to ensure safe and legal use of drugs or medications to facilitate the ethical care, development and exhibition of livestock, will also be a prominent part of the program. Program topics will include: resources for livestock projects, expanding livestock opportunities and major stock show updates. Scott emphasized that participants are asked not to bring any animals to this particular training. Individual pre-registration to cover lunch and snacks is $10. Participants can also register at the door, but early registration is requested so an accurate meal count can be made. For more information or to pre-register call Scott at 806-775-1680. 11/10/08 Date: 11/4/08 Advertisement
