Come say hello! Every year, Alberta Beef Producers attends over 75 events throughout Alberta ranging from large to small. Events are a great way for the community and even producers to hear what is happening in the Alberta Beef industry. ABP ensures we always have knowledgeable staff on hand to meet and greet everyone.
