The Beef Quality Assurance training that we held in King William back in December was such a hit, folks requested that we take our show on the road! And so we're doing just that!

On May 6th, we'll be hosting a Beef Quality Assurance training at Bethel Baptist Church (1193 White Oak Rd, Fredericksburg, VA 22405) starting at 8:00 AM.

This is a great, free opportunity for cattle producers to earn a certification in best management practices.
