Agribition impresses first-time visitors

The international presence at Canadian Western Agribition is returning to pre-pandemic levels.

After only about 100 visitors from 20 countries visited in 2021 due to travel restrictions, the 2022 show saw 1,200 guests from 63 countries.

Jeremy Walsh from Dubbo, New South Wales, Australia, was a first-time visitor who said the show exceeded all his expectations.

“I think it’s the place that everybody in the world should be at the moment,” he said. “It’s an event that’s world class, absolutely world class.”

He even liked the weather.

“I’m 47 and the first time I’ve had any interaction with snow in my life is when I jumped off the airplane,” he said.

Walsh and his family raise about 400 beef cattle and sheep on their operation and they imported Canadian genetics last year.

Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

Video: Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

It’s shipping day again at Ewetopia Farms as we sell another Suffolk yearling ram! In today’s episode, we load one of our Suffolk rams onto the trailer as he heads off to his new farm to sire the next generation of lambs.

This particular customer has been buying our rams for over eight years, trusting Ewetopia genetics for their gentle temperaments, strong builds, and proven performance. Back home, we get busy looking after the flock that’s staying behind. With the weather turning wet and chilly, it’s time to put down fresh, clean bedding to keep everyone cozy and comfortable for the season ahead. Later, we welcome a wonderful new family who’s just starting out in sheep farming!

They’ve chosen some of our Suffolk ewe lambs to begin their flock — and we couldn’t be happier to help them take their first steps into raising sheep. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode when we help deliver and settle their new flock at their farm.
