Beef Quality Assurance Certification Meetings Scheduled

2024-25 is the 3-year mark for many Wisconsin farmers needing to get recertified in the Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program.  If you are receiving this email, our records show that your certification will expire (or has expired.) If you have recently renewed, you can disregard this email. 

The UW-Madison’s Division of Extension and the Wisconsin Beef Council will be hosting in-person Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) certification meetings over the coming months.  A complete list of those meetings can be found HERE.  You can also register for the meeting at that website. 

Farmers needing to get recertified can also achieve that through two additional options:

  • Online by going to https://bqa.beeflearningcenter.org/login/index.php.  At this site, you will logon to an existing account or create a new account, click on the ‘Course Catalog’ and choose either the Cow/Calf, Stocker/Backgrounder or Feedyard courses under the BQA Foundational Courses.  Once you’ve selected a course, you can work through each lesson at your own pace.  The website will keep track of your progress, so you don’t need to complete the entire course at one time. 
  • Continuing Education (CE) Credits:  The BQA program is also offering new courses that will provide you with credit towards renewing your certification – this option is only available to farmers who hold a current BQA certification.  By completing three (3) continuing education credits from the options found on the website, your BQA expiration date will be extended by an additional three years.  Available courses include BQA Transportation (2 credits), Biosecurity (1 credit), Foundations of Herd Health (1 credit), Principles of Stockmanship (1 credit), and Herd Health Management Practices (1 credit.)  Again, you will logon to an existing account or create a new account, click on the ‘Course Catalog’ and choose the BQA Continuing Education Courses to compile 3 credits.  The Division of Extension also offers meetings throughout the year which offer CE credits. 
  • If you need help with getting logged into the system, contact tvaassen@beeftips.com or call 608-833-7177.
