The Young Cattlemen’s Council had the opportunity to join this week’s Canadian Cattlemen's Association Virtual News Roundup. YCC President, Kayla Weston, and Vice President, Geoff Larkin, shared updates on the Council’s activities communicating to the public and federal government the impacts COVID-19 is having on young Canadian beef producers.

 The Young Cattlemen’s Council is excited to unveil our new website designed to connect  young beef enthusiasts from across Canada. As a Council, we’ve often discussed how we can strive to be a conduit of information between industry and young beef producers, and we look forward to using our website as a tool to do so.

We are grateful to have had the design expertise of Bree Patterson through her company Just.Ag Productions. Bree is a member of the Young Cattlemen's Council and has done an excellent job in helping us create a platform best suited for providing information to the next generation of the beef industry. 

We hope you'll join us here "At the Water Trough" where we will be posting our latest news, along with industry events and resources. You can also give us a follow on Facebook and Twitter to stay up to date on what’s happening with YCC and in the beef industry.

If you are a young person in the industry looking to connect with like-minded individuals, please be sure to check out our Join the Council page to read more on how you can become involved with YCC.

Until next time, take care and stay safe.

On May 1, 2020, the Young Cattlemen’s Council submitted a letter to the Federal Government emphasizing the importance of improving and expanding the Livestock Price Insurance program to help young producers manage the significant market uncertainty caused by COVID-19.
