Alberta Beef Producers (ABP) has announced it's withdrawing its membership from the Canadian Cattle Association, effective July 1, 2026.
The decision was made following extensive decision and strategic review by the board of ABP.
In a press release, Doug Roxburgh, chair of ABP, said national organizations like the CCA must deliver value to Alberta’s cattle producers.
He says ABP has high standards for fiscal transparency, governance and communications, and they expect the same from the organizations they are involved with.
Roxburgh says the CCA does not meet those standards.
He adds that after seeing no meaningful progress or willingness to change, they’ve made the decision to withdraw their membership.
Roxburgh says ABP has a duty to Alberta's producers to make sure their dollars are invested in organizations that reflect and advance the beef industry’s values.
