Canadian Bison Association Benchmarking 2017 Report now online!

The Canadian bison industry is a relatively new industry. It does not have the benefit of information that has been developed in more mature sectors. To overcome this deficiency, the bison industry initiated a cost-of-production and production performance data collection program for bison operations involving cow/calf, backgrounders, and feedlot enterprises. In addition to the producer support, the provinces of Saskatchewan provided financial support.

The objective of this data collection program was to establish financial and production benchmarks against which producers could measure their performance. The program began in 2011 and has generated information that is very valuable for new entrants, producers, financial institutions, researchers and policy makers.
