FARM Quick Convos: Calf Care & Quality Assurance

The Calf Care & Quality Assurance (CCQA) Program prompts dairy farmers to approach management decisions with thoughtfulness and an appreciation for the responsibility they have to their animals, consumers, the environment and the broader cattle industries in the United States. Guest speakers introduce the CCQA program, discuss how it can complement The FARM Animal Care Program and answer dairy farmers questions about the CCQA program’s guidelines.

Chase DeCoite previously served as the director of Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) programs for the National Cattlemen’s Beef Association, a contractor to the Beef Checkoff. In this role, he managed the day-to-day operations of the BQA program as well as program development and training initiatives.
