The University of Guelph-Ontario Ag College (OAC) Beef Club had quite a tour in Alberta. Arriving September 21, they hit the ground running with their first stop at Irvine’s Western Wear.
From there the Canadian Angus Association hosted the tour Thursday morning with speakers from Canada Beef and the Canadian Beef Centre of Excellence, Canadian Cattle Association, Alberta Beef Producers, Canadian Roundtable for Sustainable Beef and Beef Cattle Research Council.
In the afternoon they headed to Olds College for a tour of the meat shop and feedlot facilities.
