BC Bovine TB Investigation Moves Into Saskatchewan

The investigation into a case of Bovine TB that was identified in BC back in November has now expanded into Alberta and Saskatchewan.

Lab tests confirmed the case of Bovine TB in an animal from a farm in the Southern Interior of British Columbia.

CFIA officials report that no portion of the animal entered the food chain and there is no concern to human health.

The CFIA and the Province of BC are working on tracing animal movements over the past five years in and out of the infected herd.

So far, the CFIA has placed movement controls on 15 thousand cattle from herds in BC and  Alberta and cattle in one herd in central Saskatchewan.

Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

Video: Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

What started as a disappointment turned into a day full of surprises, fun, and celebration as we leave Ewetopia Farms behind and head out to the Kingston Fair to watch the 4H sheep show

Today’s vlog was supposed to be another sheep shearing day here at Ewetopia Farms, but when our shearer had to cancel, we suddenly found ourselves with an unexpected free day. Lucky for us, the Kingston Fair was happening — and some of our own sheep (and friends) were competing!

We brought along our shearing helper and headed to the fairgrounds to cheer on the 4H kids and see how our sheep did in the show. From last-minute preparations and sheep showmanship to market lamb competitions and ewe classes, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like at a country fair.

We couldn’t be prouder — our girls walked away with wins in both showmanship and breeding ewe classes! Afterwards, we toured the fair, met a beekeeper with fascinating insights, admired other livestock shows, and wrapped up the evening with motocross stunts and a demolition derby!

Sometimes farm life throws curveballs — but today, it gave us the chance to celebrate community, our sheep, and the next generation of shepherds.
