Yes, absolutely. There is an opportunity right now, in particular because of the strong market signals that all beef farmers are getting across Canada, for our industry to lead agriculture in growth and investment.
There is obviously a lot of global uncertainty that has made all of industry a little bit more hesitant to make those investments. Quite simply, the opportunity that we have today is unlike anything we've seen in 40 years. We're already seeing a responding growth in the beef herd. In fact, replacement heifers are up 5% compared to last year, so that's a very good leading indicator that we are responding to the market signals to grow.
