KAMLOOPS, B.C. - The British Columbia government has announced $3.3 million for the province's ranching industry.
Agriculture Minister Pat Bell says the funding will help the B.C. Cattlemen's Association implement a strategic plan.
Bell says the money will help ranches "age verify" their cattle, which will give them greater access to export markets.
The money will also allow more ranchers to join a program that certifies the quality of the product.
Bell says while the industry has had to deal with a tough economy over the past two years, it's put together a good recovery plan.
