producers interested in making business contacts and learning about
the Canadian beef industry. The quality of the product is top notch.

for buyers and sellers to do business.
Through the Inbound Buyer Program, Farmfair International
coordinates with Canadian breeders and genetics companies to
support international buyers in their travel and attendance at the
show. The program also offers customized support and access
to specialized itineraries including a farm and industry tour day,
invitations to special events and pre and post show tour support.

“Farmfair International is a high quality show not just because of the
cattle but also because of the people. The Inbound Buyer Program
is well organized and helps buyers who are seeking new genetics.
It has been a great program for developing my operation to
take it to the next level.”
