Join Nancy Glazier with Cornell Cooperative Extension's NWNY Team for the classroom portion of the Beef Quality Assurance training Wednesday, April 14 from 7-8:30 pm via Zoom. Topics covered include safe handling and use of health care products, safe animal handling, animal welfare and record keeping. Producers will become Level 1 certified with the completion of the class along with submission of required paperwork.

Producers may become Level 2 certified with the completion of the chute side training and having a valid veterinary client patient relationship form signed by their farm's veterinarian. Chute side trainings will be held later at various locations.

Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is a voluntary program supported by the Beef Checkoff that is focused on training cattle producers in management practices. The training is based on national guidelines and scientific research with the purpose of enhancing carcass quality and safety, thereby protecting the consumer confidence in our beef supply.
