Alberta Pork AGM Just 2 Weeks Away

Oct 26, 2015

Alberta Pork's AGM is just two weeks away. It's one event you don't want to miss.

The one-day event begins with registration on Thursday, November 5, at 9:30 a.m., with the business meeting starting at 10:00 a.m.

Following the meeting, you are invited to join us for a cocktail and hors d’oeuvres from 4:30 – 7:00 pm.

In addition to updates from our chairman and executive director, we will address three issues that currently have a significant impact on producers and continue to grow in importance: Farm safety, labour and domestic marketing.

“We’re pleased to have some great speakers this year and some critical topics that people need to know about to thrive in the modern pork industry,” said Executive Director Darcy Fitzgerald.

There is no fee for registration.

Video: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
