Becoming BQA Certified Can Change Your Bottom Line
By Kelsey Pagel, for the Red Angus Magazine The Beef Quality Assurance program has been around since 1987 when it was developed for, and by, producers to set a standard for cattle care techniques. It’s a nationally managed, state-implemented program.
Dr. Julia Herman, beef cattle specialist veterinarian with the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association shared, “Initially, the Beef Checkoff-funded BQA program focused on teaching proper injection sites which improved how we treat cattle and also improved meat quality.”
“Over the past thirty years, the BQA program has evolved into a total quality management system that evaluates all aspects of the cattle operation, from nutrition and genetics to stockmanship and herd health, and provides principles based on the latest scientific research,” said Herman. “The BQA program demonstrates the commitment to animal care and welfare that our producers show every day, which improves confidence in the industry by consumers.”
The program has evolved into teaching science-based best management practices and is frequently touted as, “The best industry resource for how to improve management techniques to increase profitability and improve the quality of our product,” according to Kim Brackett, chair of the BQA Advisory Group and Idaho cattle rancher. There are several different programs within BQA depending on the operation. There are cow/calf, stocker/backgrounder or feedyard modules. Most recently, a new Beef Quality Assurance Transportation module was rolled out to beef haulers, which is relevant to both professional transporters and ranchers hauling cattle with stock trailers. The program is also in the process of developing a new module targeted directly at the calf raiser, Calf Care & Quality Assurance. This is a coalition between the National Dairy Farmers Assuring Responsible Management program, the Dairy Calf & Heifer Association and Veal Quality Assurance.
There are also advanced education modules in the BQA program, such as biosecurity, that take a deeper look at the BQA national manual for those producers seeking further and more in-depth education.
The importance of recordkeeping cannot be underscored enough, according to Herman.
“BQA develops important assessment and recordkeeping tools that all cattle producers can benefit from. The daily biosecurity plan for disease prevention emphasizes preventative biosecurity practices that can be implemented,” she said.
“The new BQA Feedyard Assessment is a comprehensive analysis of feedyard protocols and implementation that can prepare a feedyard for potential audits. All of these tools contribute to the continuous improvement that our cattle producers strive for and can be used in collaboration with the herd veterinarian to develop annual herd health plans,” added Herman.
How can producers become certified? There are two different methods, depending on the producer’s preference. There are classroom-type settings, which are in person with hands-on components, and normally take a half day. These sessions review all the foundations of the programs.
The other available option is online certification. The modules are available 24/7 and can be completed at the producer’s own pace. The new BQAT program is also available in person or online. Both BQA and BQAT certificates are valid for three years. The BQA team is constantly updating the information in the modules so when it’s time to renew certification, producers can be confident they’re getting the most relevant and up to date scientific data.
“Ultimately it [getting BQA certified] boils down to the fact that our society is several generations distanced from rural life and at the same time our society has become skeptical about our food supply. Those two facts lead to
Kim Brackett Dr. Ron Gill
consumers not understanding how cattle are raised and over-relying on mass media for information about the cattle industry,” said Brackett.
“Market research has shown that consumers’ biggest concern about beef and the beef industry is animal care. They want to know that caring for our animals is our first priority each and every day. Introducing consumers to the BQA program has been shown to alleviate their concerns, answer their animal care questions and, ultimately, it will encourage them to choose beef when making purchasing decisions.
“Let’s remember that we need the consumer to buy our product, therefore we need to do our part to assure them that we know how to properly care for our animals. To address consumer concerns, many supply chain partners now require BQA certification, particularly the packing sector. In other words, the buyers of our calves and feeder cattle are under increasing pressure to purchase BQA certified cattle. As a result, having that BQA certification improves the marketability of our cattle at a cow/calf and stocker level,” she added.
Brackett continues to encourage hesitant producers to become certified by relating to their bottom line. In a recent Colorado State University study, when BQA was mentioned in the lot description of video auctions, there was a $2.71/cwt premium in the sale price. beef product in an economically and environmentally sustainable system is paramount to staying in this business,” he continued.
When consumers think about sustainability in the cattle industry, their first thought tends to focus on animal welfare. BQA covers guidelines for cattle producers and veterinarians to ensure cattle health and welfare from several angles, including topics from nutrition and herd health to biosecurity and managing forage and water resources.
Beef Quality Assurance is developed and updated by a national advisory team made up of ranchers, veterinarians, animal scientists, representatives from the marketing and dairy industries, nutritionists and more.
“Each state has their own program that tailors the BQA effort to their production environments. Things like grazing management and nutritional management will vary a great deal across the regions. However, the end goal is to produce cattle with the potential to produce the best beef possible given those restraints,” summarized Gill.

Beef Quality Assurance is professional development for the beef industry. It is an internationally recognized program, known for its animal welfare standards. Knowing and implementing the latest industry standards yields healthy cattle and return they will perform, produce and provide for the ranch and ownership.
“Profitability is the key to being sustainable over time,” remarked Dr. Ron Gill, PhD associate department head and program leader for animal science extension at Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
“Sound ranching practices to produce cattle that will provide a high-quality
By Nate Smith, General Manager, Top Dollar Angus, Inc. As we wrap up the 2022 bull sale season, it’s appropriate to look back at some of the bull data provided by RAAA. We will also evaluate a set of Red Angus feeder cattle sold recently in South Dakota and the impacts of genetic stewardship on their results. Let’s start with Red Angus bull sale results. There were 66 sales in the observation group. The number of bulls sold in individual sales ranged from 12 to 322 head, with the average head count being 68 head and a median of 50 head. There were 14 states represented in the data set from Washington to Tennessee. To say the least, the provided data was an accurate representation of all types of Red Angus seedstock programs. Thanks to Katie Martin and the entire Red Angus marketing team for their work in collecting this useful information. As shown in the table, sale averages among Top Dollar Angus seedstock partners averaged $696 higher per head. That is a sizable difference to be sure! We next ask, what does this price spread encapsulate? Similar data sets we have analyzed show the same trend. Sales that highlight Top Dollar Angus-qualified bulls (those with objectively superior genetics) generally sell 14% to 18% higher than other bulls. While 14% may or may not seem like a large number, some quick cowboy math says that on a 50 head bull sale, without verified superior genetics, that’s $34,800 of additional revenue left on the table (50 x $696 = $34,800). This itself is very relevant for the seedstock producer, but let’s also look at what those verified genetics can do for the commercial producer. Suppose that a commercial rancher buys bulls that allow him to qualify for the Top Dollar Angus program and pays the additional $696 per head for his bulls. How does he recoup the extra cost? A prime example is found in a set of Top Dollar Angus-qualified Red Angus feeder calves that sold in Ft. Pierre, South Dakota, earlier this year which included 87 steers and 80 heifers, together averaging near 650 pounds. The market premium captured when compared to other feeders sold that day (other factors equal) was $46 head for the steers and $21 on the heifers. That’s $34 per head above the market average on both sexes, and an extra $5,682 in the rancher’s pocket for one year’s calf crop. Assuming it took seven Top Dollar Angus bulls to sire the 167 head in this example, their extra cost, based on the sale price comparison above, would have been $4,872. Thus, in a single year the extra investment in premium genetics was fully recouped with $810 in additional profit realized ($5,682
Red Angus Average Sale Price Comparison
Top Dollar Angus Seedstock Partners (19 sales) Non-Top Dollar Angus Seedstock Partners (47 sales) Difference Price Per Bull $5,338 $4,642 $696 -$4,872 = $810). Those bulls will obviously sire more than one calf crop, and since the extra investment has already been paid for, the profit margin in future years goes up significantly. That’s the power of superior genetics that bring a premium on sale day!
Genetic Stewardship
How does this all tie into stewardship? The answer is twofold. First, the economic impact of these advantageous returns allows producers to make improvements to their facilities, health and feed management programs, ensuring the most efficient use of natural resources. Second, there are additional benefits from the genetic side of the equation. Higher-performing animals directly benefit the environment. Animals of this type convert feed energy into beef more efficiently. Such benefits are seen in a reduction of feed to gain ratios, fewer days on feed and reduced ages at harvest.
These gains allow the industry as whole to lower carbon emissions and support a healthier environment for our children and grandchildren to enjoy. //

Veronica Lents, daughter of Kevin and Mallory Lents, of Creston, Iowa, has recently been announced as the 2022 recipient of the Iowa Foundation Heifer Award.
As an award winner, she received three purebred Red Angus bred heifers which were purchased from Mike and Dianna Nolin’s Red Angus herd located at Monroe, Iowa. The foundation heifers of the breed of the winner’s choice are awarded each year by Iowa Beef Breeds Council and Iowa Cattlemen’s Foundation. At the end of five years, Veronica will be expected to repay $6,000 to help with funding to keep the program going into the future. The program is in year 12 and was developed to help youth establish purebred seedstock herds of their own.
Veronica is a seventh-grade student at Mayflower Heritage Christian School in Creston, and she is involved with sports in the Creston Public Middle School. She is an active member of her church and the Highland Highlights 4-H Club where she has been involved in a number of community service projects.
