Public Comment Period on the Draft Beef Code of Practice: April 13 – June 12, 2026
The Code of Practice for the Care and Handling of Beef Cattle was released in 2013. The beef cattle Code’s 5-year review was completed in 2018, and the outcome of that review can be found here. An update to the beef cattle Code was initiated in 2023, which will include a 60-day public comment period on the draft Code content to begin on April 13, 2026. Producer feedback will be a very important step in this process.
Please see the below resources from the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) and the National Farm Animal Care Council (NFACC) to learn more about the Code and the review process.
