BQA in a Day
September 19, 2015
BQA is a national program for beef producers that provides science based management practices that enhance carcass quality and safety and improve animal care. BQA works to return more profits to producers and to protect consumer confidence in our beef supply. The BQA program is producer based, voluntary and locally led. In NYS it is coordinated through a combined effort of the New York Beef Council, Cornell University and the New York Beef Producers' Association.
Participation allows beef producers to complete most of the requirements for certification and qualifies for recertification. Being held at Runnings trainers and sponsors will be available to speak with the public regarding the proper care and management of beef cattle.
This special event is sponsored by Runnings, Boehringer-Ingelheim, Merck, Merial, and Zoetis.
The event is free but registration is required. Only those registered will be guaranteed lunch. BQA manuals will be available to purchase for $10.
October is BQA month in New York. Many trainings are planned. For details or more information contact the NY Beef Council at 315.339.6922 or email cgillis@nybeef.org. Details for trainings can also be found on the New York Beef Council website www.nybeef.org in the Cattlemen's Corner.
