Cow-Calf Producers: Help guide check-off dollars

Have you heard of Beef Cattle Research Council’s (BCRC) Calf 911 resources?

The resources include videos and pdf guides on everything from tube feeding newborn calves to understanding proper colostrum management.

And they were inspired thanks to producer responses to the once-every-five-years Canadian Cow-Calf Survey.

Collecting credible information directly from producers helps the industry

• identify research priorities and information gaps,
• develop provincial benchmarks, and
• examine changes over time that impact producers.

Cow-Calf Producers, Your Perspective Ought to be Heard

This information also helps demonstrate the value of research to government funders and helps support efforts to improve consumer confidence in Canadian beef.

The BCRC has received 348 responses, with a goal of 500+ completed surveys by March 31. 

Let’s get those response numbers up, and ensure we have good representation from each region!
