Episode 1 "Simply the Audit"

Guests Julie-Anne Howe (VBP+ Delivery Services Inc Auditor and VBP+ cow/calf ranch from Saskatchewan), Jaclyn Horenberg (VBP+ Coordinator in Ontario), and Trevor Welch (VBP+ Cow/calf farm from New Brunswick) join co-hosts Bree Patterson (VBP+ Coordinator from British Columbia) and Amy Higgins (VBP+ Coordinator from New Brunswick) . Topic today is delving into the audit process and how the word "audit" might seem intense, but the discussion is focused around how the process isn't that intimidating. VBP+ stands for Verified Beef Production Plus which provides training and certification services for beef producers across Canada.



VBP+ is an approved certification body for the Canadian Roundtable for Canadian Beef (CRSB). Beef operations that are certified by VBP+ are also recognized as meeting the CRSB Sustainable Beef Production Standard and are eligible to participate in certified sustainable sourcing programs.



PS- Give us a break on episode 1 with some varying volumes and sound quality. We'll get it figured out and consistent for episode 2.
