BQA 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 in-person Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification meetings.
