[QUOTE="dun, post: 250919, member: 34"] This is more recent, june of 2006 AGE AND SOURCE VERIFICATION As demand from buyers (both feedlot and backgrounders) in purchasing QSA age and source verified cattle increases there is a growing interest among producers in having their calves qualify under a QSA program to meet that demand. As a producer you can enroll your cattle in one of the Approved Programs or as an independent producer under the Missouri Department of Agriculture’s umbrella QSA program. Producers must agree to an on-site evaluation by a trained supplier evaluator who will review the producer’s records to verify that they have the appropriate documentation to prove the age and source of their cattle. Once approved, the producer will be placed on the program’s supplier list. Producers can continue to sell cattle as they have in the past. No restrictions to selling cattle through certain locations or certain times exist. Once the cattle are tagged and remain tagged, they are source and age verified. This program (QSA) is a voluntary marketing program. As this program has specific requirements that must be met to participate, the information needed is more detailed than some producers have or are willing to share. Not everyone who is interested in participating will qualify as you must have production records that show calving date and some record, such as sales receipts from a previous year, that document that you have the number of cows that you say you do. As I said earlier the program does require an on farm visit from a supply evaluator. These visits take a couple of hours for each operation depending on what records are that a producer has kept are like. If you are interested I would encourage you to have the on farm portion of the program done this summer. This will allow you to be sure you are approved and everything is in place for you to be able to participate in this program prior to the busy time during the fall. [/QUOTE]
