Purdue Extension is hosting a Beef Quality Assurance Certification Training at the Fulton County 4-H Fairgrounds, 1009 3rd Street in Rochester, on September 17, from 6 to 9 PM.
Beef Quality Assurance is a program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers on how good husbandry techniques can be coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management conditions. BQA programs have evolved to include best practices around cattle handling, facility management, cattle transportation, good record keeping, and protecting herd health, which all result in better outcomes for cattle and producers. Today, having an active BQA certification is more important than ever because the whole beef supply chain is leveraging the program to ensure our commitment to food safety, cattle well-being, and beef quality.
