Wanting to become a UGC-Certified Field Technician?
The carcass ultrasound industry is constantly looking for new technicians to scan cattle, particularly in areas of the country where seedstock producers struggle to locate someone close to their ranch. However, it is strongly recommended that anyone wishing to become a UGC-Certified Field Technician participate in a structured training program prior to taking the in-person exam. UGC Field Certification is usually only offered once or twice a year due to expenses surrounding carcass data collection and image interpretation.
