The Calf Care & Quality Assurance (CCQA) program was developed to elevate U.S. calf raiser standards by uniting around key management practices.

The CCQA program is jointly led by the FARM Program and NCBA’s Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) program, funded by The Beef Checkoff. Support is also provided by the Dairy Calf and Heifer Association (DCHA) and The Beef Checkoff-funded Veal Quality Assurance (VQA) program.
