On December 21,2021 Elliott County Agriculture Extension Hosted a Beef Quality Care and Assurance class at the Elliott County Soil Conservation Meeting Room. The class covered information on Proper vaccination methods, Disease Prevention Practices, Cattle handling methods, Humane dispatch and disposal methods for terminally ill cattle, genetics and bull selection.  There were 30 Farmers in attendance, participated in the Training and became Beef Quality Care and assurance Certified. This class allowed farmers to have the BQCA certification/status  attached to there name and livestock raised on there farm. This also fulfilled the requirement of the farmers seeking a education credit for there CAIP program requirements. It was a very educational event an everyone seemed to learn an enjoy the class.
