Beef Quality Assurance Certification Meeting to be Held in Blue Hill

This meeting will qualify regional beef producers for Nebraska BQA certification. 4-H and FFA beef producers/exhibitors may also qualify for YLQA by attending this meeting. It can also be used for past BQA qualifiers to recertify. We will also touch on issues facing the beef industry and what we can do to offset those possible problems.

The Nebraska Beef Quality Assurance program is a voluntary educational program for beef producers statewide. The program is managed and administered by Nebraska Cattlemen and is jointly supported by the Nebraska Beef Council (NBC), the University of Nebraska - Lincoln (UNL) and the Nebraska Veterinary Medical Association (NVMA).

The mission of BQA is to maximize consumer confidence and acceptance of beef by focusing the producer's attention to daily production practices that influence the safety, wholesomeness and quality of beef and beef products.

In order to secure the proper material we are asking that attendees pre-register for the meeting by Tuesday, March 16. Please contact the Webster County Extension Office at (402) 746-3417 or email dlienemann2@unl.edu to register or if you have any questions.
