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: What Does 20 MILLION Hogs a Year Look Like?

?? The Multi-Plant System Processing 20 Million Hogs Annually in the Midwest JBS USA operates multiple large-scale pork processing facilities across the Midwest, including major plants in Iowa, Minnesota, and Indiana. Combined, these facilities have the capacity to process approximately 20 million hogs annually.

Each plant operates high-speed automated slaughter systems capable of processing up to 20,000 head per day, followed by fabrication lines that break carcasses into primals, sub-primals, and case-ready retail products.

Hog procurement is coordinated through electronic marketing platforms that connect regional contract finishing operations and independent producers to plant demand schedules. This digital procurement system allows for steady supply flow and scheduling efficiency across multiple facilities.

Processing plants incorporate comprehensive food safety systems, including pathogen intervention technologies, rapid chilling processes, and integrated cold-chain management. USDA inspection is embedded throughout the harvest and fabrication stages to ensure regulatory compliance and product integrity. Finished pork products — from bulk primals to retail-ready packaged cuts — are distributed through coordinated logistics networks serving domestic and export markets.
