Livestock Markets success

Founded in 1988 in Guelph, Ontario, by John Ferraro, J.S. Ferraro (formerly Retail Ready Foods Inc.) began as meat distributor for underserviced independent retailers leveraging the Canada-US price differential.

Over the years, the company grew to service value added processors, HRSIs, and major retail chains across North and South America, and was the first licensed distributor of Certified Angus Beef in Canada. Continuing its history of firsts, J.S. Ferraro (as Retail Ready) successfully launched major protein brands available within retail, like 44th Street and LiberTerre, our own protein brand, helping customers enjoy a superior taste experience. LiberTerre is committed to offering antibiotic free, fresh meat proteins for processors, food service operators and retailers within Canada, the U.S. and internationally.

Today, J.S. Ferraro leverages its experience in livestock markets, data modelling and analytics expertise to offer an unparalleled wealth of market knowledge. We help farmers, packers, retailers, processors and HRSIs confidently navigate their procurement needs through market intelligence risk management and customized meat procurement solutions.

As the industry evolves, from the increasing focus on global food-security and corporate business sustainability practices, to technological advances changing how business is done, J.S. Ferraro continues to evolve with it. We are passionate about pioneering the future of meat and livestock risk management. We give our customers farm to fork pricing visilibility.
