Better Together: Saskatchewan Indigenous Livestock Producers Conference

Ready to learn about Saskatchewan’s beef and bison industry?

This year, we’re bringing mentors and young producers together. Join us for an evening meal and networking followed by a day of learning. Let’s share knowledge and discover the amazing opportunities available for Indigenous livestock producers.

We encourage you to bring a young producer (+19) and see what happens when Indigenous communities, industry experts and different generations work together.
