Profitable Livestock Production
Impact Reports
Beef Quality Assurance is an on going program that teaches cattle producers how to handle cattle, proper nutrition needs, record keeping, importance of vaccinations and other procedures to produce beef without residue of animal products or pesticides. During the past year, the McKinley County Extension Agent has made 5 presentations to over 184 producers with 20 becoming certified. This number will increase greatly with the Navajo Nation seeing some results in cattle sold getting the better price because the producers are BQA certified. The Navajo Nation Department of Agriculture is in the process of making the BQA training and certification mandatory for all tribal ranchers.
