About UsThe VIDO Beef Technical Group (VBTG) is a unique association of people directly involved in the beef industry who volunteer their time and expertise in a wide variety of specialty disciplines.
The Beef Technical Group was formed in 2001 following considerable consultation with beef industry representatives across the country. The Group is comprised of industry leaders from across Canada and VIDO scientists. Members are charged with addressing key issues based on their individual expertise to add value to cattle producers in practical ways. |
