Beef Quality Assurance Training Offered at Cattlemen’s Congress Ensures Superior Performance of Beef Industry

At the 2023 Cattlemen’s Congress, the Oklahoma Beef Council is offering opportunities to receive or renew Beef Quality Assurance certification in the Super Barn Sales Arena. Today, Associate Farm Editor, Reagan Calk, got the chance to attend the first training and met up with OSU’s Dr. Rosslyn Biggs afterward to talk about the value of BQA training for those in the cattle industry.

This summer, Biggs said, producers need to be aware that over-the-counter antibiotics are going to move under veterinary prescriptions according to FDA rules and guidance.

“One of the biggest focuses for me, as a veterinarian, is developing the veterinarian-client-patient relationship and setting forward some goals, creating an operation that can be profitable with herd health focus, with treatment focus and with records that are ready to for both the veterinarian and most importantly, the producer,” Biggs said.
