Beginning January 1st, 2019 Tyson Beef Packers will no longer accept cattle from producers that are not Beef Quality Assurance "BQA" certified. This applies to all of Tyson purchases - private country purchases, contracted cattle and auction purchases. Tyson will require you to have a copy of your certification at our location in order for them to bid on your fat cattle.

We will be offering another BQA class Thursday April 25th at 3:30 pm in the cafeteria here at pipestone livestock following our feeder cattle auction so if you are not certified and want to take the class be sure to make it!

To comply with these industry changes and get certified you may go to www.bqa.org or attend a training session.

Attention BQA certification class Thursday December 13th after our special feeder cattle auction approximately 3 PM. If you would like to be certified please make it to this class. A sign up list will be posted in the arena for approximate head counts.

 

Contrary to popular belief, Minnesota does not require a TB test prior to the sale. However, since there are buyers from states that do require a TB test often at our sales, it is recommended, but not required.
