Beef Cattle Showcase 2009
Last Updated June 5, 2009
Since its inception, beef cattle have played a huge role in the Calgary Stampede. Multiple beef world congresses have been planned around the Stampede — and this year is no different, with the much-anticipated World Angus Forum coming to Alberta and international guests visiting the Stampede to view the beef cattle on display.
With 39 per cent of the Canadian beef herd right here in Alberta, the 10-day Beef Cattle Showcase gives producers a chance to promote and share with the public the significant value and impact the beef industry has on the well-being of this province.
The 2009 showcase is a live animal display of beef cattle breeds, located in the main Agriculture Barns, enhanced by informative displays about the breed and/or the production program.
Canadian purebred breeders are now seeing significant interest in exports of genetics worldwide. Having those genetics on display can advertise them to the larger international audience that roams the barns daily.
This is a great chance to ask producers and industry experts any questions you may have about great Alberta Beef!
