DONNELLSON, Iowa – A Beef Quality Assurance training session has been set for Dec. 16 in West Point. Iowa State University extension beef specialist Patrick Wall said it’s important for beef producers to be certified so there’s no interruption in being able to sell their cattle to processors after Jan. 1, 2020.
Wall will lead the session, to be held at Grandpa’s Gun Club, 2293 Saint Paul Road, West Point. This is the Tom and Carla Steffensmeier location. Attendance is free, but those who want to attend are asked to preregister by Dec. 13 by calling the Lee County Extension Office at 319-835-5116. The session will run from 6 to 8 p.m.
