Beef Quality Assurance Training Day

  • Saturday, November 15, 2025, 10:00 AM - 3:00 PM

Beef Quality Assurance is a nationwide certification program to help ensure a safe, wholesome, and quality beef product for consumers. Topics covered include:

  • Herd health management
  • Behavior and handling
  • Nutrition
  • Chute work

Producers attending the classroom training will become certified

BQA’s mission is to guide producers towards continuous improvement using science-based production practices that assure cattle well-being, beef quality and safety. 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 full beef supply chain is leveraging the program to ensure our commitment to food safety, cattle well-being, and beef quality.
