The first part of Alberta's Beef Competitiveness Study is now complete

Alberta Beef Producers, Alberta Cattle Feeders Association, and the Canadian Cattle Association say a resiliency report for Alberta’s meat processing sector identified barriers to building resiliency.

The feasibility assessment recommended the expansion of current reporting criteria to be more comprehensive and suggested that a mandatory reporting system be considered.
