Livestock Producers Looking For Feed

There are a number of Livestock producers who are still looking for additional feed to have on hand over the winter.
 
A hot dry summer in many areas of the province resulted in a lower than anticipated hay harvest.
 
Our neighbors to the east in parts of Manitoba had a good hay yield and in some areas are even looking at a third cut.  
 
Meantime here at home, producers wanting to sell or buy forage, green feed or standing crops can contact the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Forage, Feed and Custom Service Listing online or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre (AKC) at 1-866-457-2377.

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.
