The Tory leader said the agency is needed to ensure a sustainable and competitive industry.
She suggested the Wildrose party would abolish the livestock agency if Danielle Smith were premier.
She also said the PCs are committed to supporting rural communities, and plan to do more to diversify agriculture if they win re-election on Monday.
Smith was also on the agriculture circuit, visiting a family farm near Chestermere east of Calgary.
