Education
Guest Kendra Keels (Veal Farmers of Ontario) join co-host Amy Higgins (VBP+ Coordinator from New Brunswick) . Topic today is delving into a sensitive topic of the classifications of fit/compromised/unfit, making the tough decisions on euthanasia, and discussion on some of the Farm Animal Care Codes.
VBP+ is an approved certification body for the Canadian Roundtable for Canadian Beef (CRSB). Beef operations that are certified by VBP+ are also recognized as meeting the CRSB Sustainable Beef Production Standard and are eligible to participate in certified sustainable sourcing programs.
