If I could find a plain burlap sack and get this printed on it, I would! Do you know what I just learned? That between the BC Cattlemen's Association (BCCA) and the government, they have decided on a "B.C. Beef Day." The third annual "Beef Day" was held on May 16, 2012 in Victoria. What an awesome day. This day was created in June 2010. An even better part about this day was that the beef was prepared by "House of Q," which if you've never heard of them is a locally based BBQ team out of Langley. Many of their products are available at Lepp Farm Market. Through their "Behind the Beef" program, ranchers are able to employ beef educators. Stores such as Save-On-Foods, Cooper's Foods, Safeway, and some IGA Marketplace locations are involved in bringing you the best, most up to date information about their beef products. Ranching in BC has quite the history, and it is an art. The amount of care and time put into all of their cows is incredible.
- BC ranchers occupy more than 2,023,400 hectares (which is about 5 million acres) of private land and have close to 21.5 million acres of Crown land for grazing their herds on.
- About 8,700 British Columbians are employed in the beef sector
- Not to mention, BC producers are the primary leaders in areas such as animal health, food safety, traceability, and land stewardship! Way to go BC!!
