Raising Cattle in Canada

Canada is the second largest country with an approximate land area of 10 million km2 and the world’s longest coastline bordering the Atlantic, Arctic and Pacific Oceans. Cattle in Canada are adapted to our climate and the colder winters act as a natural barrier to disease.

Water Supplies

Canada has an abundance of freshwater, with approximately 20% of the world’s surface supply. National and provincial regulations protect streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands recognizing their essential contribution to the environment.

Multicultural Society

Due to one of the highest per capita immigration rates in the world, a diverse population is now one of the distinctive features of Canadian society. We are known world-wide as extremely warm, friendly and welcoming people.

Crop Production

Field crops such as wheat, canola, barley, soybeans and corn are grown on more than 65,000 farms in Canada. Canadian farmers are strong stewards of the land and export the food they produce to countries all around the world.

Animal Care

Ensuring the welfare of animals is an important responsibility for farmers and all Canadians. The Criminal Code of Canada prohibits anyone from willfully causing animals to suffer from neglect, pain or injury.
