AFAC champions teamwork

Leading farm animal care event focuses on "Parters in Progress: Tools for Success"

The theme of the 2019 Livestock Care Conference (LCC) reflected the goal of the conference - to have the industry working together to advance farm animal care today, while pushing the pace for a strong future. This was the focus championed by a broad contingent of livestock industry and farm animal care community participants who came together for the LCC, March 20-21 in Olds, Alta., hosted by Alberta Farm Animal Care (AFAC).

“Our livestock sector is constantly changing and evolving.

New insights and technology will help us to continue to improve. Let’s roll up our sleeves and work together.”
