Quality Counts
This document outlines a curriculum for livestock education in Texas 4-H and FFA programs. It has three objectives: 1) Ensure projects meet food quality standards, 2) Enhance character education, and 3) Promote a positive image of youth livestock programs. The curriculum focuses on quality assurance and character education. It covers eight core concepts regarding character education principles like trustworthiness and responsibility, and quality assurance topics like food safety and proper animal care. Activities help students understand their role in the food supply chain and how youth projects can significantly impact meat production. The goal is to teach students to prevent food safety hazards and uphold the highest standards.

- 30. Dressing Percentage isAffected by: • Gut fill – The more gut fill at the time the live weight is taken, the lower the dressing percentage will be. • Muscling – A heavier muscled animal will have a higher dressing percentage than a light muscled animal. • Fatness – A fatter animal will have a higher dressing percentage than a lean animal. • Mud – Cattle with a lot of mud attached to their hide will have a lower dressing percentage than clean cattle. • Wool – Lambs with long wool will have a lower dressing percentage than recently-shorn lambs • Skin – In market swine, the skin is left on. • Stomach Type – Market swine are monogastics, cattle, sheep and goats are ruminants.
