Two Area Beef Quality Assurance Certification Meetings Scheduled

2024-25 is the 3-year mark for many Wisconsin farmers needing to get recertified in the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program.  In 2018, certain packers announced they would only purchase cattle from farms selling finished cattle that are BQA Certified. 

The UW-Madison’s Division of Extension and the Wisconsin Beef Council will be hosting two in-person Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification meetings in the area on January 16^th.  One meeting will be held in Lomira at Equity Livestock with lunch being provided at Noon, and another session in Manchester at the Manchester Rod and Gun Club at 6pm.
