How to Get Involved?
Training Sessions
The Texas Beef Quality Producer program has
multiple levels of participation and training.
BQA Training: Classroom
style events covering BQA principles, record keeping, environmental stewardship,
industry update and best management practices leading to safe and high quality
beef.
BQA Training - Online: Visit www.bqaonline.com for a self-paced online training.
It's Official: Once the training and initial test have been completed, a producer receives a certificate of completion and an accompanying TBQP program identification number recognizing them as a member of the TBQP program. Completion of this training affords producers the opportunity to purchase TBQP ear tags and use the TBQP logo in their operation for two years. Within those two years, and for each subsequent two year period, the producer is required to obtain a minimum of 8 Beef Quality Credits to maintain their status as an active member of the TBQP program. These credits are readily available at meetings/trainings across the state where BQA principles are discussed. By obtaining these credits, you can ensure that you stay up-to-date on BQA principles to help you in your efforts to continue to produce a safe, wholesome, high quality product that strengthens consumer confidence. Additionally, not only will topics covered at these beef quality credit events aid you in producing a quality product, many of the topics also have the added benefit of providing you with information to help you improve your bottom line.
