Cattle sector receives funds from the Federal Government

Several cattle industry initiatives were announced during Canadian Western Agribition in Regina, Sask. Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada (AAFC) Minister Lawrence MacAulay highlighted an investment of roughly $4.5 million dollars for four projects to the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA). The largest of the four projects relates to Canadian beef sustainability and the work of the Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef. Saskatchewan cattle producer Ryan Beierbach said the industry does more than talk sustainability. “We measure what we do and how we can and are improving our environmental, social and economic impacts and benefits. This funding helps to do that measuring, and to improve the value chain bring certified sustainable beef to market,” Beierbach said. The Guardians of the Grasslands game was developed to take the short documentary into classrooms and to fairs and exhibitions to engage youth with what grazing means for landscape renewal and habitat for many species.
