Transportation Quality Assurance plays a critical role in
the health and welfare of cattle. By using best practices, transporters can
save the beef industry millions of dollars each year. When a transporter
participates in the program they are showing consumers they are ready to take
every step possible to keep cattle as healthy and safe as possible.
The program covers many topics including:
- Cattle handling guidelines & diagrams
- Checklists for loading/unloading
- Checklists for hot/cold weather factors
- Checklists for fit/injured/weak cattle
- Checklist for traveling
- Loading suggestions and worksheets
- Bio-security & Emergency Action Plans
