With each passing day, we continue carrying out seasonal management tasks in order to be ready for spring turn out. By now, many have either already begun or are getting ready for spring processing of pairs.

For many operations, spring means it is time to work calves. When working calves and other cattle, it is important to use Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) best management practices. Attending an in-person training or going through an online training can be valuable in many ways and can help make the operation more successful.

The goal of a biosecurity plan on both beef and dairy farms is to protect animals from disease and maintain herd health to proudly produce a safe, wholesome and healthy beef product for our consumer’s plate.
