Services for Producers

In addition to administering and monitoring fed cattle sales, the sales agency is responsible for the following activities:

• Updating information posted on the fed cattle producers’ extranet site (e.g., slaughter data, payments to producers, sales statistics, weight gain, information and analysis documents)
• Developing and managing Bovitrace software
• Inspecting the main abattoirs (in Ontario and the Maritimes) to ensure compliance with rules and standards (e.g., carcass preparation and cutting)
• Operating a support service for producers
• Representing producers through membership in the National Cattle Feeders’ Association, which makes representations and lobbies on behalf of the cattle sector across Canada
