CANADIAN BEEF FARMING

Canada’s socially responsible beef community plays an integral part in conserving and enhancing our ecosystem’s health. Beef farmers and ranchers oversee 35 million acres of native grassland and manage our natural resources in ways that support animal welfare, people and communities. In fact, Canadian ranchers protect and preserve native grasslands and the habitat for over 60 at-risk species. Raising beef cattle uses 33% of agricultural land in Canada but provides 68% of wildlife capacity, significantly impacting Canada’s sustainability efforts.
