Phil Reid has a sincere belief that there are producers and cattle in the area that produce great beef.

Phil's responsibility is to ensure the quality of the beef within each grade stays as consistent as possible through the rigid application of the grade standards.

His reputation with the producers and the packers in the Atlantic Region is one of respect for his sincerity and ability to approach any concerns or problems with clarity of direction.

Phil has more provinces in his region than any other supervisor in Canada.  It is through his ongoing audits of the grade application that the Atlantic Region is assured of a consistent grade standard.

Phil Reid

Regional Standards Supervisor, Atlantic Region

"I started my career with Agriculture Canada in 1974 as a Meat Inspector and in 1982 became involved in Livestock grading and have always enjoyed the challenges of the job.  I joined the CBGA team when grading became privatized in 1996 and I am very pleased with the level of service we have maintained as well as all the other accomplishments to date."

"My responsibility in the Atlantic Region is program delivery at our largest plant in Moncton, as well as regional supervision of six smaller plants in Nova Scotia and Prince Edward Island.  The beef producers in our region face some very unique challenges and are commended for their hard work and dedication for producing quality carcasses in an ever-changing industry.  Keep up the good work.  It's a matter of survival."
