Cattle producers know the only way to handle their stock is the right way. To that end, producers regularly should have the opportunity to learn about best practices and new research.
The Beef Checkoff-funded Beef Quality Assurance program has been educating cattle producers and handlers on the best animal welfare and handling practices since 1991. These practices ensure a high-quality product, and the research-backed training and certification help generate consumer confidence.
KBC and Kansas State University Research and Extension are providing BQA training and certification opportunities throughout February and March. Dr. A.J. Tarpoff, DVM, associate professor of animal sciences at Kansas State University, will be the primary presenter at all trainings.
Dates and locations include Leavenworth County, Basehor on Feb. 3; Coffeyville in conjunction with the OKAN Conference on Feb. 20; St. Francis on Feb. 22; Junction City on March 18; and Syracuse on March 26.
