Sysco, a wholesale food distributor, and Certified Angus Beef (CAB), announced a new Cattle Care Partnership, a strategic partnership to promote animal welfare and beef sustainability.
The partnership will focus on providing Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) training and certification to 1,000 farmers and ranchers through nine training events between August 2023 and June 2024.
“Through this partnership, we can further empower farmers and ranchers with the knowledge and tools necessary to meet the highest standards of animal care and continue to foster a culture of cattle care,” said John Stika, CAB president. “Today’s consumers have a greater interest in how their beef is raised and the practices behind it.”
The groups said the partnership highlights their commitment to sustainability and animal welfare, and works to address consumer concerns, reinforcing trust and animal welfare practices throughout the beef supply chain.
