BQA Beef Quality Assurance


BQA Advice for Hunters Hunting season in Texas starts this month. Make sure your hunters know they are not to shoot any cattle with any weapon.


Metal detectors in beef processing facilities cannot detect lead, such as that found in birdshot or buckshot. If lead is detected by the packer, the entire carcass may be condemned. If lead is detected during ground beef production, the entire batch of ground beef must be condemned, which could be several thousand pounds.


Educate your hunters on the cost of a stray shot. Take extra precautions and remove cattle from pastures that will be hunted.
