Beef cattle are ruminant (four-stomached) animals capable of digesting fibrous material that cannot be used by people and converting it into wholesome, high-protein food suitable for human consumption. Canada’s 13 million cattle spend most of their lives grazing on land unsuitable for crop production, or on land that is part of an integrated and sustainable cropping system.

The fall roundup is a tradition on many western ranches. Cows and calves are brought in from their summer pastures and separated. By this time the cows have been rebred and will need all their nutrition to maintain their body condition over the winter and nurture the next year’s calf growing inside them. The current year’s calf will by now be almost as big as its mother, ranging in weight from 272 kilograms (600 lbs.) to 408 kgs (900 lbs.) The calves are ready to eat grass and hay on their own, and it is time for them to be weaned.

As with most wild and domesticated grazing animals, beef calves are usually born in the spring. Calving is timed to coincide with the emerging spring grass so that the mother cow will have nutritious grass to eat, which helps produce an abundance of milk for her offspring.
