“We have been thinking a lot about what we have learned through the DBQA program and figuring out what that really looks like in real life here at Red Knob Farm and the practical steps that we need to take to implement that. It’s a learning process. We have implemented a lot of the principles we’ve learned, a lot of the practices, updated our procedures and protocols in several areas, and continue to review other areas of our farm operation. As DBQA producers, we may even be able to gain premiums for the beef that we sell to a few targeted suppliers if they know our management practices and how we are going to assure quality beef.”
