The Warren County Cooperative Extension is offering a Beef Quality Assurance training for cattle producers on Aug. 16, beginning at 9 a.m.
Registration is required. Interested individuals can contact Warren County ag agent Matthew Place at 252.257.3640 with questions. For members of the N.C. Cattlemen’s Association, the registration fee is $15; the cost for non-members is $40.
According to information at bqa.org, the Beef Quality Assurance is a nationally coordinated, state implemented program that provides systematic information to U.S. beef producers and beef consumers that combines “common sense husbandry techniques with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum management and environmental conditions.”
BQA programs have evolved to include best practices around good record keeping and protecting herd health, which can result in more profits for producers.
