Abstract:                                                   
This curriculum was developed for youth ages 9-19 to        
enhance their ability to make and implement responsible

Nebraska-Lincoln. It is intended for youth involved in 4-

beef, lamb, dairy products, and fish. The curriculum        
booklet contains 17 learning activity lessons, ranging      
from vaccinating your animals to understanding consumer     
attitudes about quality. TQM principles are used

are presented in an experiential learning framework. The    
activities use appropriate segments of the videotapes.
