1989 was a pivotal year for the Canadian beef and cattle sectors. A new market structure held aloft a promise of modernisation, globalisation and sector efficiency. Only now are the full effects coming to light and with them the realisation of what this promise really delivered, writes Adam Anson, reporting for TheCattleSite.
  Today's world of Canadian cattle is completely different to the one that existed before 1989. Not only are the companies that dominated that age gone, but also the landscape which they evolved on has been moved.
