Beef Cattle Genetic Enhancement Demonstration Project

The Forestry and Agrifoods Agency invites proposals to apply for a small herd (5 breeding females) of Hereford cattle, for research and development purposes. Proposals are being solicited from existing commercial farmers or new farmers who have had past experience in raising beef cattle, who would like to help advance the genetic diversity of the beef industry in Newfoundland and Labrador. The producer would enter into a 5 year contract with the Beef Cattle Genetic Enhancement Demonstration Project.

Interested individuals will be sent an information package containing background information and requirements.
