Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady

Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady
 
Growth in the Canadian cattle herd continues to remain flat, as was indicated in the July 1 inventory report.
 
Brian Perillat is the manager and senior analyst at CanFax.
 
"If we look at the Canadian beef industry or the herd size, not a lot of change there. Our cow numbers have been flat for a good five to almost seven years. They did show a slight uptick, but less than half a per cent. Basically we're seeing a fairly stable Canadian herd."

How Generations of Pig Farming Lead to Sustainable Solutions

Video: How Generations of Pig Farming Lead to Sustainable Solutions

Hog producers are taking their stewardship to the next level by finding new ways to manage manure that benefit both the environment and their operations. One approach is using slatted floors with an 8-foot pit. By storing manure in this system, and combining it with variable rate spreading, they're able to apply manure nutrients exactly where needed, improving crop production and reducing waste.

Minnesota pig farmer, Randy Spronk shares how this system has transformed his operation, allowing him to grow healthy crops for his herd while minimizing environmental impact. It's a solution he's proud of — one not that only benefits the land but also creates a lasting legacy he can pass down to his family and future generations.
