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."

Video: Feeding Hay in the Snow, Then Back to Grass | Winter Grazing Update

I share a cattle herd update after feeding hay during the worst of a winter snowstorm. With the weather improving, we’re able to move the cows back onto grass and continue grazing.

I also briefly talk about a mistake I made when planning our grazing rotation and what I learned from it. Adjusting plans and learning as we go is part of managing cattle in a low-stress, practical system.
