WHY BE BQA CERTIFIED?

"The beef community has a long-standing commitment to caring for their animals and providing families with the safest, highest-quality beef possible. Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is a program that trains farmers and ranchers on best practice cattle management techniques to ensure their animals and the environment are cared for within a standard set of guidelines across the U.S. beef industry."

The BQA program offers producers the opportunity to showcase their dedication to producing high-quality beef and earn premium dollars for it.
