The Value of BQA
On December 13, the beef checkoff will be hosting a media webinar titled, “BQA -- Protecting Beef’s Image.” The webinar will feature Dee Griffin, DVM, feedlot production management veterinarian and professor at the University of Nebraska Great Plains Veterinary Educational Center, and Jim Collins, director of industry relations for Southeastern Livestock Network, LLC, as they discuss checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance programs and their importance to U.S. cattle producers.
Griffin and Collins will spend time discussing past BQA audits; national guidelines and manual; BQA trainings; BQA certification (why it’s important for ALL producers to be BQA-certified); online certification — new for 2011; and, employee training.
For more information, or to RSVP for the webinar, e-mail Melissa Slagle.
