Early mornings. Long days. Tough decisions.

Congratulations to The Environmental Stewardship Award (TESA) 2026 nominee from British Columbia, Miller & Grier Families.

At Chilco Ranch—Miller Ranches, the story begins long before the sun rises over the Hanceville range. It begins with four generations whose hands have shaped the land, tended the cattle, and built a legacy rooted in family and community.

Big improvements don't happen overnight—they happen one step at a time.

📈 Incremental progress is about getting 1% better, inch by inch.

Benchmarking isn't about comparing yourself to everyone else. It's about knowing where you stand and identifying opportunities to improve.

There are three types of benchmarks every cow-calf producer should use:
✅ 1. Your own numbers – Track your progress year after year.
✅ 2. Provincial averages – See how your operation compares in today's competitive market.
✅ 3. Similar production systems – Compare your results with producers who manage cattle like you do.

The 2025 Canadian Cow-Calf Cost of Production Network Benchmarks are now available.

Whether you're looking to control costs, improve profitability, or make better management decisions, benchmarking is the first step.

Find the benchmark that best matches your production and management system and see where you stand.
