Agribition Livestock Entry Deadline October 1

Sep 27, 2018

Livestock Producers interested in exhibiting at Canadian Western Agribition this year have until Monday to get their paperwork in.

CEO Chris Lane says the Livestock exhibits, shows, and sales are at the core of what Agribition is all about and what they build the show around.

“Livestock entries are open now but they close at the beginning of October. Space is always at a premium at Agribition, so if you’re looking to enter any animals or any competition animals now’s the time to do it. It’s a really easy process we have a brand new livestock entry system online here. You’ll follow the links and you’ll be able to pick the size of your entry and get registered up and make sure your there.”

Lane notes that October 1st is also the Scholarship deadline for the Canadian Western Agribition Scholarship, the Barry Andrew Family Scholarship and the William M Farley Memorial Scholarship. Nominations for BMO’s Women in Agriculture Award close October 15th.

He says there’s always something new and exciting to see at Canadian Western Agribition, two new livestock features this year will include the Canadian Texas Longhorns and Alpaca.

Canadian Western Agribition runs November 19th to the 24th at Regina’s Evraz Place.

Video: Four Star Pork Industry Conf - Back to Basics: Fundamentals drive vaccine performance

At a time when disease pressure continues to challenge pork production systems across the United States, vaccination remains one of the most valuable and heavily debated tools available to veterinarians and producers.

Speaking at the 2025 Four Star Pork Industry Conference in Muncie, Indiana, Dr. Daniel Gascho, veterinarian at Four Star Veterinary Service, encouraged the industry to return to fundamentals in how vaccines are selected, handled and administered across sow farms, gilt development units and grow-finish operations.

Gascho acknowledged at the outset that vaccination can quickly become a technical and sometimes tedious topic. But he said that real-world execution, not complex immunology, is where most vaccine failures occur.
