2023 CANADIAN COW-CALF SURVEY

Beef Cattle Research Council asking for feedback from cow-calf producers

Nov 24, 2023 | 5:08 PM

CALGARY, AB – The Beef Cattle Research Council is asking all Canadian cow-calf producers to share insight into their on-farm management and production practices which will provide direction on future beef research and extension strategies.

The 2023 Canadian Cow-Calf Survey is an online questionnaire set up to collect data to help understand longer-term trends in production methods and efficiencies.

Information directly from beef cattle producers helps the BCRC identify research priorities and information gaps, develop provincial benchmarks, and examine changes over time that impact farms and ranches.

The survey takes 30 to 60 minutes to complete and relates to 2023 calf crops, starting with breeding in summer 2022 and ending with weaning in fall 2023.

The last day to take part in the survey is March 31, 2024. The first 200 producers who answer all the questions will be eligible to receive a BCRC toque and a pair of cotton gloves.
