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.

But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
