Episode 2: Say “Beef” – We’re Taking a Snapshot

On average, $0.67 of your $2.50 Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off came to the BCRC in 2022/23. Most of these dollars support research projects and programs. But most of the BCRC staff hours are spent turning research results into producer resources. That involves collecting production information from across Canada, identifying opportunities (and barriers) to better profitability, mobilizing existing knowledge to help producers exploit those opportunities, and supporting new research to tackle the barriers. Join us this week as Dr. Reynold Bergen talks about how BCRC is collecting this production information and how you can help.  Links available for download mentioned in this episode:  www.beefresearch.ca/survey www.beefresearch.ca/calf911 www.bodyconditionscoring.ca www.beefresearch.ca/feedtesting www.cowbytes.ca Adoption Rates Report: https://www.beefresearch.ca/content/uploads/2022/04/Adoption_Rates_of_Recommended_Practices_by_Cow-Calf_Operators_in_Canada_-_March_2019_Final.pdf
