Canadian Cattle Young Leaders Program welcomes McDonald's Canada as a Platinum Partner

Dec 14, 2023

McDonald’s Canada has become the very first Platinum Partner of the Canadian Cattle Young Leaders (CYL) Program.

McDonald’s has been a Foundation Partner since 2017 and their support of the program exceeds their financial contributions.

Their support has ranged from participating as mentors to CYL participants, collaborating on workshops and tours, and helping with the judging process for selecting program participants.

The Canadian Cattle Association looks forward to their continued collaboration with McDonald's Canada in their efforts to support the future of the Canadian beef industry.

CCA President Nathan Phinney says the future success of Canada’s beef industry is built on the investment we make in our next generation of leaders.

"We are grateful to McDonald’s Canada for growing their investment in our young leaders and helping us to take our program to new heights."

Video: Selling Rams & Helping New Farmers Begin

It’s shipping day again at Ewetopia Farms as we sell another Suffolk yearling ram! In today’s episode, we load one of our Suffolk rams onto the trailer as he heads off to his new farm to sire the next generation of lambs.

This particular customer has been buying our rams for over eight years, trusting Ewetopia genetics for their gentle temperaments, strong builds, and proven performance. Back home, we get busy looking after the flock that’s staying behind. With the weather turning wet and chilly, it’s time to put down fresh, clean bedding to keep everyone cozy and comfortable for the season ahead. Later, we welcome a wonderful new family who’s just starting out in sheep farming!

They’ve chosen some of our Suffolk ewe lambs to begin their flock — and we couldn’t be happier to help them take their first steps into raising sheep. Stay tuned for a follow-up episode when we help deliver and settle their new flock at their farm.
