Jun 15, 2021 to Jun 17, 2021 The Kansas Beef Council reminds cattle producers that Beef Quality Assurance certification training is available online to fit their needs. While KBC is planning on numerous in-person BQA training opportunities for cattle producers this summer and in the early fall, these online training modules are available to those whose certifications are expiring this year and wish to requalify. The COVID-19 pandemic caused KBC to cancel in-person BQA trainings in 2020. In their place, KBC partnered with A.J. Tarpoff, Kansas State University Beef Extension veterinarian, to produce two producer education videos that fulfill BQA requirements. The first video was a virtual chute-side cattle demonstration using both GoPro and drone technology to showcase the key principles of BQA, and apply them in a relatable, real-world setting. Tarpoff discusses proper vaccine storage and handling; needle size; low-stress cattle handling; and facility design, all while processing cattle through the squeeze chute.
