The Canadian Beef Industry Conference (CBIC) has attracted more than 500 people from all facets of the beef sector—including producers, feedlot operators, research scientists and veterinarians.

This is the first time that CBIC has been held in our province.  The event (August 19-22) includes tours, annual meetings and a two-day program directed toward cattle producers.

Nathan Phinney from New Brunswick is the president of the Canadian Cattle Association.

CBIC 2024 comes during a period of higher cattle prices.

The Canadian Cattle Association’s foreign trade committee is meeting this week and senior leaders from the National Cattle Beef Association (NCBA) are in Saskatoon for those discussions.

The agenda on Wednesday and Thursday will feature several speakers who will answer questions directly from the floor. “Ask Me Anything” will include veterinarians, research scientists, livestock nutritionists and cattle market specialists.
