results of the latest National Beef Quality Audit. You'll see that Canadian beef producers have a lot to be proud of - significant improvements have been made in a number of areas since the previous audit. But there's one area the industry is losing ground on.
1. What changes have you seen in carcass quality over the years?
2. As a cattle producer, what do you currently do to prevent carcass defects (such as bruising, tag, injection site lesions, liver defects, etc.)?
3. Which of your production practices could be modified to further prevent defects?
4. Do you use BIXS or another information sharing system to find out how your cattle grade when slaughtered?
5. Do you currently or would you consider participating in the Verified Beef Production (VBP) program as a measure to improve best practices and prevent carcass defects?
