Consumer Resources Highlight Redesigned Beef Website

Digital communication is a key tool in the South Dakota Beef Industry Council's (SDBIC) consumer education and outreach efforts. It's also vital to the SDBIC's work with the state's beef producers and industry partners. Now, the SDBIC has a redesigned website which offers easy access for all, to all things beef.   
 
"We're thrilled to have this resource now available for our consumers and producers," said Amanda Bacon, Director of Communications. "This has been a long-time coming. The website is now a dynamic, mobile-responsive platform you can view from any PC or mobile device. That means whether you're looking for recipe ingredients in the grocery store, or you're a producer looking to see more about how your checkoff is utilized, the information you need is readily available with just a click."
 
The recipe section is one of the site's primary features, showcasing recipes which change to coincide with the seasons, SDBIC programs, and promotions. This section also features a variety of cooking videos from Holly Swee, RD, LN, Director of Nutrition, and a wealth of beef nutrition information.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
