Thanks to the 601 cow-calf producers from across Canada who recently completed the Canadian Cow-Calf Survey, which was open from Nov. 21, 2023, to March 31, 2024. We look forward to sharing the results, along with applicable research and extension strategies, in the near future.

Canadian cow-calf producers, there are few days left to help direct your Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off dollars toward the most impactful research and extension efforts over the next five years. Results are anonymous and used by the producer-led BCRC. 🍁 BeefResearch.ca/survey

If you're a SK cow-calf producer be sure to complete this online survey before March 31. Responses used to generate benchmarks on productivity and practices as well as guide research and extension efforts/investment. beefresearch.ca/survey

@BeefResearch Thanks @DeanMan28386653 We did it and it took about that same amount of time! We broke it out over morning coffee one day and went through it. @NSCattle @BovinsNBCattle @peicattle let's bump up the participation!

@BeefResearch @Maritime_Beef Ok beef producers, I just did the cow calf survey and it took me 45 minutes to complete. Let’s have a little challenge here and move these survey response numbers higher. I am sure as beef producers we can have a higher participation rate here in the Maritimes!

I'm looking at you, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Manitoba and Maritime provinces.

Have 15 cows or 1500? Either way, your perspective ought to be heard. beefresearch.ca/survey Results tell orgs like @BeefResearch what to prioritize and develop. Already participated in the Canadian Cow-Calf Survey? Thank you! If not, please consider doing so by March 31.

If you've already participated, thank you! If not, please consider doing so. The info is needed by producer-led orgs that are funding beef, cattle and forage research, and developing materials aimed at benefiting different types of cow-calf in all regions of the country.

Each time a beef animal is sold, the @cdnbeefcheckoff is collected, and a portion of it funds research and extension through the Beef Cattle Research Council. ▶️ Watch our video explaining how these research investments by beef cattle producers deliver value to the industry.
