The Cattle Industry Development Council is the group of producer volunteerselected by industry organizations to administer the CIDC check-off, the Beef Cattle Industry Development Fund and the Horn Levy Fund. Council meets quarterly to review operations and consider funding applications.
Cattle producers in British Columbia have supported the levy (check-off) on cattle for many years. The current $2 per head CIDC levy paid at the time cattle are sold or slaughtered in BC is working for the good of the beef industry. $1 per head is designated for the National Check-off -- these funds are directed to national promotion, seeking more international markets, and for research. The other $1 per head becomes the CIDC fund which is used to promote the cattle industry in BC and to support research or education programs.
