About the BCRC

The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is Canada’s national industry-led funding agency for beef, cattle and forage research. The BCRC’s mandate is to determine research and development priorities for the Canadian beef cattle industry and to administer Canadian Beef Cattle Check-Off funds allocated to research.

Directed by a committee of beef producers from across the country, the BCRC plays an important role in identifying the industry’s research and technology transfer priorities influencing public sector investment in beef, cattle and forage research. The BCRC funds leading-edge research and extension activities to advance the competitiveness and sustainability of Canada’s beef cattle industry.

The BCRC operates as a division of the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) and was established by the CCA in 1998.
