Beef Quality Assurance is a national program that provides guidelines for beef cattle production. Producers have embraced BQA because it is the right thing to do; but they have also gained through increased profitability. As an educating program, BQA helps producers identify management processes that can be improved.

Topics to be discussed are as follows: animal selection and breeding, vaccine care, low stress cattle handling, responsible culling, judicious animal drug care and much more. Tour of the Prairie Research Beef Unit available to attendees at 4:30pm. Contact the Monroe County Extension office at (662) 369-4951 for more details.
