What is TBQP?
The Texas Beef Quality Producer program
is the Texas Cow/Calf & Stocker producers’ response to the national BQA
effort
The
mission of the Texas Beef Quality Producer Program
(TBQP) is to promote good management practices for cattle producers in
an effort to strengthen consumer confidence in beef as a wholesome food
product.
An ounce of prevention
is worth a hundred weight
The TBQP Program is not about spending more money or buying into a
here-today, gone-tomorrow trend. These proven beef quality practices are
just better methods of doing the same jobs you're already doing. Methods
that provide a safer, more tender and improved food product makes
satisfied beef eaters around the the world. Beef quality, food safety
and environmental stewardship guide the principles of the TBQP. What
guides yours? The TBQP management strategies "prevent" problems related
to quality and safety from ever occurring - rather than correcting them.
The TBQP has been labeled by beef industry experts as a truly vital
program that prepares Texas cattlemen for the fast approaching changes
coming in the cattle industry all the while strengthening not only your
management skills, but consumer demand.
The main focus of the program is food safety. Eliminating residues,
blemishes and foreign objects is critical to maintaining consumer
confidence and acceptance of beef as the protein of choice in their
diet.
The TBQP will help you
become more cost effective, make better decisions, produce a better food
product and most important, increase demand.
Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) is a national
effort with 47 states involved.
