“Tradition can be a hard master.” It’s a comment that I’ve been chewing on for weeks since hearing it. I do, after all, work for a print magazine, which is caught in a great wave of change.

Fall sales were off to a strong start when I penned this column last month, with 300-lb. to 400-lb. steers fetching over $5 per pound in some cases.

Comment: Jody Wilson-Raybould on leadership

By
When you read the phrase “great leader,” what pops into your head? I didn’t get to know Reg Schellenberg very well before he passed away last December. But those who did know him often use words such as quiet leadership, gentle demeanour, firm, confident and a good listener when describing his leadership style. It’s fitting […] Read more

Comment: Canadian Cattlemen celebrates 85 years

By
It was 85 years ago this month that Kenneth Coppock launched this magazine. Coppock first conceived of the idea in March 1938, when he decided the industry needed a publication that would capture the experiences of the industry pioneers, while also developing an “industry-consciousness.” Three months later, Canadian Cattlemen was born. “It was launched at […] Read more

The beef processing industry has been under scrutiny on both sides of the border. Low cattle prices coupled with high beef costs elicited a general feeling that cattle producers were getting the short end of the supply chain.

Comment: Is Canada ready for a foot-and-mouth outbreak?

By
Last column I outlined a brief history of the 1951- 52 foot-and-mouth outbreak around Regina, Sask. We haven’t had a foot-and-mouth outbreak in this country since, but it remains a global threat.
