Ontario’s beef sector is built on strong foundations, and many of those foundations are held up by women. From on-farm decision-making to veterinary clinics, feed and nutrition services, research, communications, sales, and industry support, women play an essential role in keeping the sector thriving. BFO is proud to launch StrongHER in Beef, a new event created to celebrate, empower, and connect the women who contribute to our industry every day.
Taking place March 5, 2026, in Elora, the event blends practical skills, personal development, and networking to recognize the vital contributions women make to the sector.
Topics will include:
- Building resilience on the farm and at home
- Marketing Ontario beef locally and globally
- Overview of beef sector programs
- Hands-on demonstrations
- Work–life balance for farm women
