“As beef farmers, it’s our mission to help feed our community with good, nutritious food,” said Calvin Anstett, president of Bruce County Beef Farmers. “At Christmas, when so many families are feeling the strain, that mission feels even more important.”
The donation will supply high-quality, nutritious beef to food banks and community meal programs during a time of high need.
