Livestock inspection to be debated at upcoming AGM for Manitoba Beef Producers

We are two weeks away from the 46th annual general meeting (AGM) for Manitoba Beef Producers. The two-day event takes place February 20th and 21st at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Winnipeg.

General Manager Carson Callum says the AGM features a lot of great speakers. He notes it starts with an Industry Knowledge Session on Day 1, led by Dr. Eric Behlke of TELUS Agriculture and Consumer Goods.

"He's going to focus on kind of feedlot and cow/calf technology that is kind of up and coming," says Callum. "And talk about using those technologies to improve your operation and your bottom line and then we'll have some updates from the University of Manitoba."

Callum says during the afternoon of Day 1 is when they get into the business component of the AGM. He notes they have a panel presentation on livestock inspection.

"This livestock inspection discussion is a long-debated issue in our industry in our province and we're looking as a board to get some good direction from our membership," he says. 

Then, Thursday night is the President's Banquet.
