The Texas 4-H and FFA Sheep and Goat Validation Program will continue to conduct both random and targeted “Validation Checks” or project visits to assure projects are continuously owned and personally fed and cared for by the exhibitor throughout the entire feeding period. The majority of the “Validation Checks” will be conducted by the County Level State Validation Committees at the request of the Executive Committee.
