 In Canada, producing one kilogram of beef now creates 15% less greenhouse gases than in 1981, due to improved production practices.

 Over 1,000 plant, animal and insect species make their home on Canadian rangeland.

Preserving biodiversity on rangeland is just as important as preservation of biodiversity in the rainforest. Maintaining healthy rangeland supports the ecosystem and boosts forage production for livestock.  Learn more about forage and grassland management at http://www.beefresearch.ca/research/forage-grasslands.cfm.

 every day grazing is extended saves the cow-calf sector nearly $4 million

Extended grazing methods, including swath, stockpiled and bale grazing, have considerable economic benefits over traditional winter feeding systems. Well managed systems reduce or eliminate labour, feed and manure handling costs during the winter. Learn more at http://www.beefresearch.ca/research-topic.cfm/extended-grazing-45
