What’s Blue, French and English

Canadian Belgian Blue AssociationHere’s a new website to look at. The Canadian Belgian Blue Association is now online. It’s simple and has a unique multi-lingual functionality. When you visit the home page text is in English on the left and French on the right. So you’ve basically got a bi-lingual mirrored website. Nicely done folks. Lots of pictures. Loads fast. There is one little animated title thing but I can take that. Otherwise it has information in short chunks that are easy to navigate to.

Newly elected President Mark Hodges, a Manitoba-based Belgian Blue Beef (BBB) breeder, is “thrilled to see the Canadian BBB industry reach the point where we can have our own portal on the web. We’ve at a crossroads where production from current BBB breeders in Canada just can’t keep up with demand for our double-muscled cattle genetics and naturally lean meat products for consumers. Our three Carcass wins at the Canadian Western Agribition had a big impact on the demand for BBB.” The bilingual website reflects the large number of BBB breeders in the province of Quebec. Members and non-members can post cattle for sale on the site, a first for a BBB association in North America.
