Contact your State BQA Representative for more information

Nominees will be competing for two National awards.

1) Beef Producers
2) Dairy Producers

After the application deadline, the National BQA Award Selection Committee will meet and select the winner in July 2009. The award winners will be announced at the 2010 Cattle Industry Annual Convention in San Antonio, Texas.

Winners will become spokespeople for our industry, carrying forth the BQA message.  With that, it is essential that nominees are willing to convey to the public and the media how their quality assurance programs have resulted in increased production and profitability while improving public perception of the beef industry.
