Abstract

"Build on what you know" is the operative phrase in the BQA program. The Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program road map are the Quality Assurance Critical Management Points (QACMP) principles. Cattlemen, employees, veterinarians, nutritionist, other specialists must look for what could go wrong, then figure out ways to avoid having the problem occur. Build practices that allow checking and verifying, document what you are accomplishing and what you intended to do. Design all of the everyday working techniques to avoid having anything go wrong, especially those things that can cause a safety or quality problem. This includes evaluating safety problems that can affect family members and employees.
