Saskatoon is playing host once again to an agricultural event – the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference from Tuesday to Thursday from the Saskatoon Inn & Conference Centre.
The three-day event is full of presentations on wide-ranging topics from business risk management programs, to trade, disease prevention, and a market update.
CEO of the Saskatchewan Cattle Association Christina Betker expects the Canadian Food Inspection Agency's proposed changes to traceability regulations, which are paused currently, will be a big topic of discussion.
"The changes, even if they're on pause at the moment, it's still worth having that conversation and even talking to [the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency] in terms, because they're a big part of the conversation and would be a big part of the regulatory changes." said Betker.
Ashley Scott, General Manager of the CCIA, will be providing an industry update Wednesday afternoon around 3 o'clock. The traceability regulations might be brought up.
Verified Beef Plus, the Saskatchewan Cattle Feeders, and the Saskatchewan Cattle Association will be holding their respective annual general meetings at the conference.
