Veterinarians interested in becoming South Dakota Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) Trainers should attend this certification course. Becoming a SD BQA Trainer allows you to conduct producer BQA Certification trainings in-person and provides you valuable resources on all things BQA for beef and dairy cattle. Additional information on the National Dairy FARM Animal Care Program, BQA on-farm assessment tools, and the U.S. Cattle Industry Feedyard Audit tool will be covered to fully equip veterinarians and SD BQA Trainers to assist producers to meet program expectations.
South Dakota BQA Trainer certification is good for 3 years and Trainers must recertify. NOTE for CURRENT TRAINERS: all current SD BQA Trainer certifications will expire 12/31/2021. Please recertify if you plan to continue offering in-person trainings.
Cost is $25 per person. Veterinarians interested in potentially attending the training but not certifying should contact Heidi Carroll. Some seats may be available for those that wish to audit the training depending on room size.
