Promoting education to youth in their pursuit of raising livestock for home and exhibition.
To be eligible to sell your market livestock at the 2026 Washington County Fair,
each exhibitor MUST complete TWO educationals and YQCA training. Proper
documents must be submitted by 11:59 pm on June 10th, 2026.
These requirements are due to the Animal Science Association. These submissions will be
reviewed by the Animal Science Association and the superintendents of the project area,
if there are any concerns the Animal Science Association and superintendents
will bring it before the sale committee for their review.
Two educationals will be required, with the requirement of attending at least one that is hosted by Washington County Animal Science Association.
Online educationals will NOT be accepted as a required educational
Any educational outside of the planned Washington County ones must be submitted to the Animal Science Association Board for review and approval.
Only one jackpot show can count as an educational. Proof of jackpot must be a backdrop picture and class roster or receipt of registration.
4-H and/or FFA Livestock Judging Team participation will only count as one educational with proper proof of participation. Signed educational form from advisor or leader and coach.
You CANNOT use a Judging Team and a jackpot show for both educationals
YQCA is a STATE requirement and will NOT count as an educational but is still required to be completed and certificates must be turned in by the due date in order to be eligible to sell your animal in the sale (online or in person will satisfy this requirement)
All proof of educationals should be emailed to wash.co.asa.1858@gmail.com.
When emailing include the exhibitor’s name and what species they are showing for the 2026 fair. Confirmations will be sent back once received and completion lists will be sent out after all registrations are complete.
