Randy Pirtle will be hosting one of the programs at the Washington County Fairgrounds in Dewey, Oklahoma on Oct. 15.

With increased consumer concerns with food safety and animal care "Beef Quality Assurance" provides a proactive way for producers to show consumers that they are committed to food safety, quality, and animal care. The Oklahoma Beef Quality Assurance certification program meets national Beef Quality Certification standards, and was developed and is maintained with input from cattle producers. The program at Dewey on Oct. 15 will begin at 8:30 a.m., and conclude at 3 p.m. A meal is being sponsored by the Oklahoma Beef Council for participants but you do need to call in your registrations and/or RSVP by Oct. 12 at 918-534-2216.
