Beef Improvement Federation Annual Conference Coming to
Calgary Next Summer
June 29 to July 3rd, 2008 |
Over 68 years ago, the true pioneers of the performance beef
cattle movement began the research which led to the use of
objective measurements for evaluating beef cattle. Selection
based on objective measures has withstood the test of time
and continues to undergo scrutiny by researchers,
organizations and the ultimate judge, beef cattle producers. As a means to standardize programs and methodology and to
create greater awareness, acceptance and useage of beef
cattle performance concepts, the Beef Improvement Federation
was formed. The organization's three leaf clover logo would
come to represent Industry, Extension and Research and to
early pioneers of BIF, represented then, in the twilight of
the 20th century.
For a review of the papers presented at the 2007
conference, please go to the

NOTICE to CLA members |
Please note the following re: PROTO TESTING POLICY AND FEE
UPDATE
Effective April 1, 2007, CLA members now have two options to
have PROTO testing done at Bova-Can Laboratories. The two
options are as follows:
1. Having samples processed on one of four pre-arranged
dates at the regular fee of $55 + GST. The remaining three
pre-arranged dates for 2007 are: April 30th; September 30th
and December 31st
2. Having samples immediately processed for a fee of $250 +
GST.
Making the above scheduling arrangements allows the
Association to use the lab resources efficiently while also
providing members the option of having a ‘rush’ sample done
if required immediately. If you have any questions about
this new policy please feel free to contact the office at
(403) 253-7309 or 1-866-886-1605 (toll-free). |
