Forage growers offer straw for livestock feed

Saskatchewan livestock producers searching for feed have another option to consider.

The forage straw drop-off program was started by the Saskatchewan Forage Seed Development Commission (SFSDC) and Saskatchewan Stock Growers (SSGA).

SFSDC producers in northeast Saskatchewan have straw available for sale.

The two groups will lead the communication process and connect livestock producers to forage seed growers that have straw available.

Video: Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

In this episode, we’re sorting ewes into their breeding groups and introducing them to unrelated rams. Moving rams between barns always comes with challenges, but once the boys meet their ewes, everyone was eager to settle in!

We also welcome back a returning customer who purchased a Suffolk ram from us last year. This season, she chose a Dorset cross ram, now named Benny, to strengthen her flock’s genetics. It’s always rewarding to see repeat customers who value the quality of our breeding stock.

Arnie then tours the crop fields as harvest season approaches. Despite drought conditions this summer, the crops are looking surprisingly good. We close the day with evening feedings and one last look at the rams with their new breeding groups.

?? Join us daily for life on a working sheep farm, from flock management and breeding strategies to crops, chores, and the everyday rhythm of farm life.
