The Texas Beef Quality Producer Program, a joint effort of the Texas Beef Council, Texas and Southwestern Cattle Raisers Association, and Texas Cooperative Extension, teaches beef producers the principles of “Beef Quality Assurance” (BQA). These management practices improve the quality and safety of beef produced in Texas. This program keeps ranchers up to date with the changes occurring in the cattle industry and ways to increase the demand for Texas cattle. Remember, your actions on the ranch determine the final beef product you produce.

Ranchers need to adopt these BQA methods in order to stay in business! It is just that simple. The consumers are telling us they want their beef--not only tender and delicious--but safe, wholesome, and raised in a responsible manner. We must adopt these changes if we plan to produce beef! It doesn't if you have a large or small ranching operation you will benefit from this program. Join an elite group of progressive cattle producers who are sending the message loud and clear to the consumer that they are producing quality beef rather than just raising and selling livestock.

Beef cattle research done by Texas A&M University covers many topics that provide important information to Texas ranchers. These studies focus on nutrition, management, breeding and selection, and reproduction in beef cattle. Research is done in various geographic locations in Texas.
