Due to low registrations the program is canceled. We will be offering the GPP sessions at other times so members may be able to complete this requirement in order to show and sell their project animals. Leaders needing the Mandated Reporter training may be able to access this on-line, information will be sent to you.
We will be offering a webinar in late March on Selecting Your Swine Project. Once we have confirmed a date and time, it will be emailed to you. You can participate in the live webinar or view the recorded version at a later time.

their beef’s value. The second part of the training is a chute-side training
session. Producers will see the effects and
outcomes of shots given in the meat and/or muscle depending on the route of
administration and type of product given.
Recertification
is required every two years. Producers who complete the two-level program will
receive a certification manual which includes helpful reference material and record-keeping
forms. Certified producers will also receive a Free Certified Producer farm
sign, opportunity to purchase BQA Allflex ear tags, Free PA Preferred/BQA Beef
stickers to label beef you sell, access to calf pool sales, access to sell beef
