Expanding market access for beef in a Mercosur trade deal would have immediate consequences right here in Ontario. We support trade, but it must be fair. Thanks to MP @AlexRuff17 and Grey & Bruce County Beef farmers for their support 🔗 Learn more: https://t.co/M5S4G9sIrx

[Canadian Cattle Association @CanCattle]

As Canada approaches the final round of Mercosur trade negotiations, Canada’s beef producers are sending a clear and united message to the federal government: do not sacrifice Canadian beef in a rushed trade deal.

The Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) and the National Cattle Feeders’ Association (NCFA) @NACattleFeeders, together representing all beef producers in Canada, strongly oppose the inclusion of beef market access in a potential Mercosur agreement. The organizations are calling on the Government of Canada to stand firmly with Canadian ranchers and cattle feeders and ensure Canadian beef is not used as a bargaining chip.

🌎 Happy Earth Day!

For many Ontario beef farmers, stewardship is just part of the job.

At @VanFarms, it’s in the day-to-day, making better use of feed and caring for the land.

That’s what earned them the Environmental Stewardship Award in 2025.
