Livestock and poultry production, including beef, dairy, chickens, turkeys, eggs, pork, sheep and lambs, are economic cornerstones of many communities across British Columbia. Our livestock and poultry sector is a source of safe, high-quality meat products and world-renowned beef and dairy genetics.
B.C. dairy products including milk, butter, cheese, sour cream, and yogurt are known for their delicious tastes and strict adherence to high-standards of food quality control. Our clean environment, good water quality, favourable climate, and relatively young age of the animals used for meat production combine for high-quality pork and beef that is a trademark of western Canada.
