Awards with Highland Feeders
National Environmental Stewardship Award Winners
"The CCA and Merial Canada have announced the winner of the first annual National Feedlot Environmental Stewardship Award. The award was present to Highland Feeders of Vegreville, Alberta at the CCA's semi-annual meeting and convention. The award recognizes outstanding efforts of feedlot operators in implementing management practices that protect the environment. Highland Feeders' driving momentum is the principle of environmental stewardship, underlined by economic common sense. They believe good management practices mean good environmental practices, because the same resources that are important to the environment, soil, air and water are essential for agriculture. Highland sees their cattle as sentinels of the environment in that cattle need clean, abundant water, and protecting this and other resources protects profitability."
