Chapter 2 of the Beef Quality Assurance program is an in-depth and important portion of the BQA certification program.  With access to small animals, in our case, lambs and bottle calves, and an appropriate handling system students demonstrate skill in proper handling and vaccination techniques.  This assessment is a great culmination to the vaccination and handling techniques in the BQA training portion.  This hands-on assessment also prepares students for actually working with animals in the future and for the demonstration requirement to receive BQA certification.
