| | The 7th Annual Alberta Beef Industry Conference (ABIC), being held in Red Deer on February 17 to 19 2010, provides cattle producers from all sectors of the industry an opportunity to meet face-to-face. The largest of its kind in Canada, the ABIC is designed to address issues faced by many facets of the beef industry - not only in Alberta, but across the country. The conference is proudly hosted by Alberta Auction Markets Association, Alberta Beef Producers, Alberta Cattle Feeders’ Association, Alberta Livestock Dealers & Order Buyers and Western Stock Growers Association. These five industry associations recognize the importance of connecting together to consider common issues and create plans for the future. Also, a new program is being added to the conference this year. One full day will focus on future young entrepreneurs/beef producers and students. This one-day workshop will educate younger producers and students about the value chain and the importance each sector plays on our industry as a whole. The conference speaker line-up includes:
- Doug Price – owner/operator of Echo Sand Ranching
- Derek Hill – facility manager for Cargill Meats Canada, Spruce Grove
- Kirstin Kotelko – president of Spring Creek Ranch Premium Beef
