Many consumers, both international and domestic, and end-users of beef are asking for 3rd-party verification of various marketing claims. This means a 3rd-party certifier, or entity such as the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), verifies production practices and records through an audit or inspection process. These are voluntary programs that many producers have chosen to become involved in due to the potential premiums that exist when they sell their cattle.
