Checkoff increase proposal approved at Manitoba Beef Producers district meeting as organization deals with decline in checkoffs from shrinking cattle herd

The Lord works in mysterious ways. Imports of communion wafers are apparently one of the Canadian beef industry’s trump cards in its ongoing battle to overturn Washington’s country-of-origin labelling Law (COOL). “It’s not that the government of Canada doesn’t like Catholics,” Manitoba Beef Producers general manager Cam Dahl said at the recent District 6 meeting.
