Section 2 - Certification


 
 

Producers that have successfully completed training and verification can obtain certification by documenting a valid VCPR (Veterinary-Client-Patient Relationship) and developing a Beef Quality Assurance/Critical Management Plan for their individual operation.  A form signed by both the producer and the veterinarian attesting to the fulfillment of these two requirements will be submitted to the address listed on the form.  After processing, a certification number will be issued to the producer by the  SD Animal Industry Board.

This step is a unique feature of the SD BQA/CMP Program and provides the framework that positively documents BQA/CMP activity.
