WE ARE ONTARIO’S BEEF FARMERS
We may choose ball caps over cowboy hats but we’re easy to spot in your community. Ontario beef farmers are your neighbours and friends and you’ll find us at your local bank, grocery store, arena, school, farmers’ market or pretty much anywhere else you frequent.
There are 19,000 of us across the province and we all have one thing in common – we’re passionate about raising cattle and taking care of the land to provide safe, healthy and delicious beef products for your family and ours.
