The Beef Cattle Research Council and other producer organizations use and rely on data collected from surveys like Statistics Canada’ Census of Agriculture, whi...ch is underway this month. It takes time and effort for producers to fill out the information at this busy time of year, but census data collected is important to help guide programs and services for beef producers as well as identify issues and trends. https://census.gc.ca//cst-t/agriculture/beef-bovin-eng.htm See more

The Livestock Tax Deferral provision allows farmers who sell part of their breeding herd due to drought or flooding in prescribed drought or flood regions to defer a portion of sale proceeds to the next year. All of NB is in the prescribed area. For more information, please visit: https://www.agr.gc.ca///livestock-tax-deferral-provision/

After calving season and before breeding, it’s a good time to reflect on what worked and perhaps what needs tweaking. A prolonged calving season can cost in ter...ms of weaning weight, rebreeding success, and the ability to retain cows in your herd. Use our Calving Distribution Calculator to evaluate your calving season length to see if you are leaving anything on the table or whether improvements can be made. http://www.beefresearch.ca/research/calving-distribution.cfm See more

Since 1996, The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA) has been awarded annually at the provincial and national level to recognize cattle producers’ leadership in conservation. Nominees and applicants are selected based on their stewardship practices, accomplishments and goals. All beef cattle operations in Canada are eligible to apply. Producers can either be nominated by an individual or organization or apply themselves through their provincial or regional cattle organizat...ion(s)- Maritime Beef Council. All methods are equally encouraged. If you would like to put a nomination forward, please contact Amy Higgins prior to June 1st, 2021. https://www.cattle.ca//the-environmental-stewardship-award/ Depuis 1996, le Prix de la gérance de l’environnement (TESA) a été décerné chaque année au niveau provincial et national pour récompenser le leadership des éleveurs de bétail en matière de conservation. Les candidats sont sélectionnés sur la base de leurs pratiques de gestion, de leurs réalisations et de leurs objectifs. Toutes les exploitations de bovins au Canada peuvent présenter une demande. Les producteurs peuvent être désignés par un individu ou une organisation ou présenter eux-mêmes leur demande par l'intermédiaire de leur(s) association(s) provinciale(s) ou régionale(s) de bovins- Maritime Beef Council.

Today, we celebrate #CdnAgDay. Canadian beef farmers raise cattle, produce nutritious beef, provide jobs, and create economic value, making the beef sector an ...important part of Canada’s agriculture and food community. Canada’s beef producers also play a vital role in taking care of the environment, a large responsibility that farmers and ranchers are not always credited for. While there is still room for improvement on some fronts, there is much to celebrate while the beef sector continues to improve its environmental track record. These facts demonstrate some of the valuable ways in which beef producers manage environmental resources: Beef producers steward sensitive grassland and riparian ecosystems that provide many ecological, economic, and societal benefits. (http://www.beefresearch.ca//isnt-beef-canadas-ultimate-pl/) Beef cattle make use of steep, erosion-prone, rocky, or forested land that cannot grow crops for human consumption. Grazing cattle upcycle the forage grown on marginal land into nutrient rich beef. (http://www.beefresearch.ca//beefs-place-in-a-healthy-envi/) Farmers are reducing their use of fossil fuels and synthetic fertilizers by using innovative grazing management strategies (http://www.beefresearch.ca/research-t/grazing-management-48) and seeding cover crops (http://www.beefresearch.ca/research-topic.cfm/cover-crops-91) to improve their soils and increase forage production. Producers reduce greenhouse gas emissions and improve feed efficiency by implementing growth promoting technologies that maintain a high standard of food safety and animal health. (http://www.beefresearch.ca//hormones-and-other-growth-prom) Cattle make a significant contribution to reducing food loss, by converting high fiber crop residues and food processing by-products into high quality protein more efficiently than other livestock. Canada has committed to the United Nations goal to cut global food loss (e.g. harvest and storage losses, crop residues and processing by-products) and food waste (retail, restaurants and home) in half by 2030 (https://www.canada.ca//government-of-canada-launches-food-). Science and innovation have reduced the overall environmental footprint of Canadian beef. Researchers found that producing each unit of Canadian beef used 17% less water, required 29% less breeding cattle, 24% less land, and produced 15% less greenhouse gases in 2011 compared to 1981. The beef sector is committed to emissions reductions and have set a 10-year goal to reduce greenhouse gas emissions 33% during the primary production phase by 2030. (http://www.beefresearch.ca//environmental-footprint-of-bee) With a focus on fact, innovation and communication, Canada’s beef producers strive to continually improve environmental outcomes. Today, as we celebrate #CdnAgDay and beef producers for their important contributions to agriculture and food, let’s also celebrate the role they play in managing Canada’s environmental landscapes.
