Upcoming Virtual VBP+ Training

November 3, 2025

Beef farmers take great pride in their animals, their operations, the environment, and the product they raise. The Verified Beef Production Plus (VBP+) program allows beef farmers to prove to consumers, retailers, and industry stakeholders that their operations adhere to the highest standards for food safety, animal care, social responsibility, and environmental stewardship.

Modern consumers are looking to make responsible food choices, and retailers are looking to source beef from sustainable supply chains. VBP+ helps producers prove that they are doing the right things by offering both training and third-party auditing to certify operations under the program standard. On-farm assessments and training are available for operations in the cow-calf, backgrounding, and feedlot sectors from coast to coast. Getting certified qualifies your cattle for marketing in sustainable supply chains sought after by retailers.

VBP+ training isn’t just for producers who want to get certified. Yes, the VBP+ training is designed to set producers up for successful certification, but it also includes a wealth of information on current best management practices that can help any operation with continuous improvement.
