Quality assurance or quality control programs have received a lot of attention in the last few years. The fed beef industry is making strides to keep abreast of the changing times. State feedlot organizations have moved forward with the help and guidance of groups such as the National Cattlemen's Association and the Academy of Veterinary Consultants. Colorado, Nebraska, and Texas have already initiated their own seminars and training programs. Monfort, Inc. has made a commitment to total food safety and intends to be second to none when it comes to producing a safe quality product. The basics for instituting a beef safety and quality assurance program at the feedlot level are the same whether your lot feeds 500 head or 500,000 head.
