| PVP Overview |
|
| The MICRO PVP may be used by any beef producer to age and source verify their cattle. Segment-specific uses of the MICRO PVP have been detailed below. |
|
 |
Ranches
The MICRO PVP Ranch Program allows ranches to age-verify and enroll their cattle in a USDA-approved program prior to shipping cattle from the ranch. Audits are conducted via phone or on-site and ranches maintain full control over their cattle marketing options.

Feedyards and Backgrounders
The MICRO PVP Supplier Program enables feedyards and backgrounders to receive age-verified cattle from the MICRO PVP or other PVP/QSA programs. Approved Suppliers do not need their own QSA program which saves significant time and money. |

Livestock Markets and Veterinarians
Livestock markets and veterinarians can add a valuable service to their business or practice by enrolling their customer’s cattle in the MICRO PVP. Markets and veterinarians are ideally suited to help their customers with this process. |

Agents
MICRO PVP Agents have been trained to perform the on-site audits to verify age information and enroll cattle in the MICRO PVP. Agents are valued in their local communities because they can help their customers, neighbors, and other cattlemen earn additional age verification premiums. |
