Over the past few weeks, we’ve done a BQA overview, covered the history of the program, and shed some light on how we establish our guidelines. The Beef Quality Assurance program continues to grow and evolve as we further our understanding of animal, producer, and industry needs. As a wrap-up, we’ve included some industry fun facts below! Our favorite? Over 85% of U.S. beef comes from BQA-certified farmers and ranchers. Get certified today at www.BQA.org.

Hey yall! My name is Laney Broussard. I’m honored to have the opportunity to work with LBBA in their social media marketing. My family and I have spent almost 10 years showing and raising Beefmaster cattle, which has pushed me to pursue my work as a certified A.I. technician and livestock photographer. My passion lies in advancing cattle operations and capturing the livestock industry through a professional lens. I look forward to connecting with you all and keeping you updated on everything going on in this LBBA group!!
