New campaign urges the federal government to defend Canada’s meat standards

Cattle and meat groups are asking Members of Parliament to defend Canada’s scientific standard when it comes to allowing the United Kingdon into the Comprehensive Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP).

The U.K. does not recognize the safety of Canada’s meat processing and food production systems so British authorities will not permit imports of Canadian beef or pork.

The Canadian Cattle Association, Canadian Meat Council, and National Cattle Feeders’ Association launched “Say No to A Bad Deal” campaign to stand up for science-based trade standards.

In July, the federal government announced the UK was accepted into CPTPP. However, the meat groups want the move delayed until a deal can be negotiated between the two countries regarding treatment of Canadian meat products.

Video: The Lambs Are Free! Preparing for Weaning on Our Sheep Farm

The lambs are free as we start preparing for weaning on our sheep farm in Ontario, Canada. Today at Ewetopia Farms, we’re letting our Suffolk and Dorset lambs experience their first real taste of freedom! We give each group access to the barnyard separately, letting them run, leap, and explore while we go about our daily chores. Watch as they tackle a hay bale, chase barn cats, and enjoy their new space. This gradual independence helps with weaning and ensures a smooth transition away from their mothers. Join us for another fun-filled day on the farm!
