Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) became a requirement in 2018 for beef producers selling their cattle in local markets. BQA provides the necessary training for cattle producers to meet this requirement by focusing on relevant topics that impact the food supply chain. Attending one of these virtual programs serves as an opportunity for you to gain new BQA certification or renew your existing certification (certification cycle is 3 years).
