with on a daily basis. Managing exposure to this risk in livestock operations
is often the difference between success and failure. Protecting against price
declines in conjunction with other risk management strategies can help
ensure the best possible outcome. - BQA certification provides beef producers good husbandry techniques
coupled with accepted scientific knowledge to raise cattle under optimum
management conditions. To obtain your BQA certification you must stay for
