Beef Quality Assurance Training Planned For February


Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) training held on February 9 at 5:30 p.m. at Junior Town Hall. This training is free, and it does not matter what county you live in to participate in the training. Training materials are provided. The certification is good for three years.


BQA is a national program that not only raises consumer confidence, but it provides producers with the tools to assure their cattle are going to provide a safe, wholesome product to consumers. Producers will learn about how common-sense husbandry practices can also help them garner more dollars when marketing their cattle. BQA can also help expand marketing opportunities for beef producers, such as the Mountain State Ground Beef program of the West Virginia Cattlemen’s Association.

BQA is considered a valuable tool for several reasons. This includes a commitment to food safety and quality, improving sale value of marketed beef cattle, as well as enhancing herd profitability through better management.



To register for this training or if you have any questions, please call the Barbour County Extension office at 304-457-3254 or the Randolph County Extension office at 304-636-2455.
