How many of you cattle guys,beef or dairy,are BQA certified? As of January 1 2019 Cargil,Tyson and Wendy's won't buy from anybody who isn't certified,that includes cull cows.
I went and took the class and test this afternoon and got certified. Not a big ordeal,took two hours and fifteen minutes from the start of the class until they handed me the certificate. No charge. It was just the bother of having to take an afternoon to go do it. They said nobody who took the test would leave there without their certificate. If you failed,stay after and they'd help you pass. There was a list of every sale barn in Michigan on the bottom of the test form and they'd send a copy of your certificate to every one that you wanted to have it,so you wouldn't have to do anything yourself,just check the boxes. There were just 15 questions on the test. Dickens of it is,it's like pesticide certification and you have to renew it every three years.
They said this wasn't mandatory as far as the law goes,but with things being what they are in the food business,the market itself would make it mandatory and probably sooner rather than later.

But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
