Part 3 - Line 4a
THE SHEEP AND GOAT VALIDATION PROGRAM PROVIDES A FRAMEWORK UNDER WHICH THE INTENDED BENEFITS OF COMPETITIVE YOUTH LIVESTOCK PROJECTS CAN BE ACHIEVED. THE PROGRAM HELPS TO PREVENT UNETHICAL PRACTICES SUCH AS FALSE OWNERSHIP OF ANIMALS, HIRING PROFESSIONALS TO MANAGE ANIMALS, AND MISREPRESENTATION OF ANIMAL'S AGES WHILE FOSTERING FAIR COMPETITION AND LEVELING THE PLAYING FIELD AMONG THE PARTICIPANTS. THE ORGANIZATION ESTABLISHES THE VALIDATION PROGRAM GUIDELINES FOR PARTICIPATING TEXAS COUNTIES AND CONTROLS THE PROCUREMENT, DISTRIBUTION, AND COLLECTION OF VALIDATION MATERIALS. THESE MATERIALS ARE USED TO VALIDATE SHEEP AND GOATS AT COMPETITIVE LIVESTOCK EVENTS. THE 2021 VALIDATION PROGRAM PROVIDED EDUCATION, RESOURCES, AND SUPPORT FOR ALL 254 COUNTIES ACROSS THE STATE OF TEXAS. 8 MAJOR LIVESTOCK SHOWS AND THE STATE FAIR PARTICIPATED IN THE VALIDATION PROGRAM BY REQUIRING SHEEP AND GOATS TO BE VALIDATED THROUGH THE ORGANIZATION'S PROGRAM BEFORE BEING EXHIBITED.
