The Saskatchewan Stock Growers beef drive has received a major boost.

The Stock Growers launched a beef drive last fall, asking producers to contribute an animal or donate cash to defray the cost of beef processing for Saskatchewan's food banks.

Elanco, which provides food and health products for livestock, has announced support for the Saskatchewan Stock Grower initiative.

The support will ensure producers can donate more beef to Saskatchewan's food banks as processing costs will not be a limiting factor.
