Read the points below to understand the spreadsheet 

• Bolded names mean that youth requires at least one or more workshops to meet the requirement
• Orange boxes indicate which workshop the youth is missing
• If there is an x in the box that means the youth does not have a second market animal
• If the youth's name is in red, it means they are due for QA this year and have yet to attend a training.  

Tagging your animal and attending Quality Assurance does not count towards these two required workshops per species.
