2012 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show
More than 5,500 people involved in the cattle industry are expected to attend the 2012 Cattle Industry Convention and NCBA Trade Show to be held in Music City Nashville, Tennessee February 1st thru 4th. The annual event is the largest cattle industry event in the country and this year's convention and trade show offers more education, entertainment and excitement than ever.
The three-day program provides attendees with the opportunity to form new business relationships and have a voice in the decisions that will shape the industry. Each day provides a mix of interactive seminars and business meetings to establish policy and checkoff priorities for the coming year, with evenings filled with social events for the entire family. The mix of activities provide ample opportunity for attendees to re-establish personal and business relationships with farmers and cattle ranchers from across the country.
BQA- lessons learned
John Maas, UC-Davis extension veterinarian, BQA Advisory Board member and cattleman was the perfect candidate to take the newly released BQA Cow-Calf Assessment to the field and find its practical applications for veterinarians and cattle producers. This past summer, he conducted his own four-ranch practicum in California. The ranches varied in size, ownership, facilities and management practices ― from a 100-head purebred, family operated herd with full-health prevention protocols to a 2,500-head commercial herd with a number of ranch locations, employees and excellent record keeping. John got a “real-world” feel for how the assessment could be implemented on the farm or ranch level.
The three-tiered, Beef Quality Assurance Cow-Calf Assessment is a producer-led initiative developed as an on-site educational tool for benchmarking key factors of animal care, record keeping, facilities and management protocols. It provides the basis for developing personalized plans for continuous quality improvement. The goal of the checkoff-funded effort is to help create a higher level of trust with consumers.
In working through the assessment with these varied ranching operations, Maas realized the tool is a good first step to evaluating and recording management practices. “As I worked with each ranch I realized the assessment was a starting point for understanding a ranch’s priorities and skill set. For example, for some ranches, cattle handling rose to the top. But all of the ranches were interested in how they could improve animal care.”
What value can the BQA assessment bring to your ranch?
The BQA Cow-Calf Assessment is a good tool to better understand your operation’s strengths, goals and areas for improvement. “As I talked with each rancher about his operation’s health programs, training and animal care protocols, I got a better understanding of the operation’s management practices and how those were implemented on a daily basis,” said Maas. “And then as we work together to develop a herd health plan, we can utilizes their resource base and implement management practices to provide the best animal care possible.”
Funded by the Beef Checkoff
