CCA Report: Another push for TPP

From the October 26 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Dave Solverson October 30, 2015

The volatility that shook the cattle markets in late September brought an end (at least temporarily) to the record price run that had been sustained for much of the last year. Although the dip in cattle prices reflect typical seasonal price fluctuations, the impact of the falling price in the markets is felt far more […] Read more

Conjugation, and what it means for antimicrobial resistance in livestock

By Reynold Bergen October 27, 2015

The federal government’s CIPARS program studies E. coli in healthy cattle entering packing plants and in retail ground beef. Its surveillance shows that resistance to antimicrobials of the highest importance in human health continues to be very rare in these samples, and multi-drug-resistant bacteria are even less common. The risk of consumers being exposed to […] Read more

The BSE decade

By Steve Kay October 26, 2015

Students of history often look back at previous decades to see what lessons were learned and how they can be applied to the present and future.

Marketing is walking the talk: Can the beef industry do it?

By Dr. Ron Clarke September 15, 2015

Beef sustainability is a catchword. It’s talked about in seminars, at producer meetings, and at major industry gatherings where planning and strategy essay a future for an industry that bounces between really good and really bad. Are we making headway, or just adding to public lectures because people either don’t understand what it takes to […] Read more

How rapidly can we increase marketable beef supplies?

By Charlie Gracey June 10, 2015

If the Canadian industry is to take full advantage of recently opened and expanded markets outside of NAFTA this will require a significantly expanded breeding herd.

CCA Report: An update on Canada’s beef trade

From the May 2015 issue of Canadian Cattlemen

By Dave Solverson May 26, 2015

Calving season is well underway and I am feeling very optimistic about the future. Prices, which seem to reach new market highs for all classes of cattle each week, are part of the reason. A global shortage of beef, largely due to prolonged and widespread drought, has pushed the U.S. cattle herd to a 50-year […] Read more

Back to basics with BRD

Despite advancements in knowledge and technology associated with BRD there has been no significant reduction in its incidence

By Dr. Ron Clarke December 4, 2014

Complacency is always an enemy. And nowhere in the beef business does complacency sit more steely and imperfectly than when managing calves as they move from pasture to market. With 2014 witnessing weaned calves topping $1,800, production shortcuts will abound in the rush to get them sold. Producers will be tempted to sidestep good management […] Read more

Canadian beef industry is fortunate to have strong leaders, skilled people behind the scenes

By Steve Kay November 14, 2014

It’s just over 10 years ago that Canada then the U.S. discovered their first homegrown BSE cases. The North American industry has largely put BSE behind it. But the huge cost to the industry is a reminder how economically devastating an animal disease can be. Then there’s the emotional cost of producers being forced out […] Read more
