Quality Starts Here is an educational program for beef cattle farmers and ranchers that promotes management practices for producing the safest, highest quality beef. These management practices are backed by research carried out to determine the best production practices for the Canadian beef industry.

Good Production Practices manuals have been developed for the cow-calf sector, the feedlot sector, and for those producing feed for cattle. For the cow-calf sector, Good Production Practices cover areas such as record keeping, facilities and cattle handling, animal health product use, and culling, calving and weaning procedures. These Good Production Practices were promoted to cattle farmers and ranchers through written material and are now available on websites.
