Statistics show that the Canadian agriculture and agri-food sector is a

multi-billion dollar business (Statistics Canada 1997a; Economic and Policy

Analysis Directorate 1998). Livestock is an important part of this industry.

Canada produces about 13 million head of cattle, exporting about half of

what it produces, and it ranks about 4th in the world for beef and beef cattle

exports (Canadian Cattlemen's Association 1998b, 2000d). The annual, on-

farm production value of beef cattle is estimated to be $4.7 billion (Statistics

Canada 1997b). The Canadian Cattlemen's Association (1998b) estimates

that, with multipliers, the cattle industry contributes over $20 billion to the

national economy. The prairie region dominates this production, supporting

73% of the beef animals raised in Canada (Statistics Canada 1998), and this

region accounts for approximately $3.5 billion of the annual value of beef

production (Statistics Canada 1997b), again about 75% of the Canadian

total.

Agriculture is a land-dependent business. While Canada has a land

base of some 3.85 million square miles, only 7% or 170 million acres is

suitable for agriculture (Ecological Stratification Working Group 1995).

The rest is agriculturally restricted, because of climate or other significant

constraints. Most of the nation's 30 million people live within this agricul-

tural zone.

Grasslands are a significant component of Canada's agricultural base

(Fig. 2). Pasture makes up 49 million acres of the total farmland (Statistics

Canada 1996), or about 30% of the total farm area. Statistics Canada (1996)

reports that close to 80% of this pasture is 'natural', meaning range land

where the predominant plant species that are native to the region. The

remainder is considered 'tame,' i.e., range that is composed predominantly
