SDSU Extension will host a beef quality assurance training on November 12 from 5:00-7:00 p.m. at the SDSU Extension Lake County Office (1000 S Egan Ave, Madison, SD 57042). Anyone involved in raising or handling cattle is encouraged to attend.
Funded by the Beef Checkoff, the BQA program guides producers toward continuous improvement using science-based production practices that assure cattle well-being, beef quality and safety.
During the event, attendees can become BQA certified or recertify, and certification is valid for three years. By becoming BQA certified, producers can uphold consumer confidence in beef, enhance herd profitability through better management, safeguard the public image of the beef industry and improve the sale of marketed beef cattle.
You can also become BQA certified by completing the online training through Beef Quality Assurance.
