Conference To Help Build Out National Beef Strategy

The Canadian Beef Industry Conference is being called the first beef industry event of it’s kind in Canada.

Co-chair Rob Smith says the conference will foster connectivity – one of the four pillars of the National Beef Strategy.

According to Smith, the conference will allow everyone from industry leaders to smaller-scale producers to come together and help grow the industry.

The first conference is being held in Alberta next August.

However, organisers say the intention is to rotate its location in subsequent years.

The Canadian Beef Industry Conference is a collaboration by the Beef Cattle Research Council, Canada Beef, the Canadian Beef Breeds Council and the Canadian Cattlemen’s Association.

Many Canadian grazing recommendations were developed using beef cattle in the prairies. While we have adapted these the forage species and climate in Ontario, other livestock have different needs. Maintaining milk components can be difficult on a predominantly pasture diet for lactating cows.

The purpose of the Profitable Pasture conference is to bring fresh ideas and new research results to Ontario grazing managers across the ruminant livestock sectors. These conferences have a major focus on pasture management.
