Manitoba Ag Ex Returns To Brandon

Oct 25, 2021

The Provincial Exhibition of Manitoba is bringing Manitoba Ag Ex back to the Keystone Centre in Brandon starting Wednesday.

"It's been a long time since we've had an event. Everybody is excited to come because it's been a long time since people have gotten together," said Dallas Johnston, co-chair of the Manitoba Ag Ex committee. "In the cattle business, you're always looking forward to showcasing what you're raising at home and hopefully entice some other breeders to get interested in your program and buy a female or a bull from you in the future."

Manitoba Ag Ex is the largest all-breeds cattle show in Manitoba.

Johnston says this year they are down to about 270 head of cattle, which he says is to be expected given the current situation. He adds this will be the first agriculture related event hosted by the Provincial Ex since the pandemic started.

Manitoba Ag Ex is entirely focused on the cattle industry, and attendees are all part of the agricultural industry.

Video: Farm Health Guardian | Digital Biosecurity in Real Time

Disease risk, biosecurity, and real-time monitoring continue to be major topics across the pork industry. In this episode of Swine Web Industry Perspectives, presented by Farm Health Guardian, we discuss how digital biosecurity and real-time data are changing the way producers think about herd protection, people movement, and operational decision-making.

The conversation explores:

disease risk in modern pork production,

the impact of people movement on biosecurity,

the importance of real-time monitoring,

digital biosecurity technology,

and how Farm Health Guardian developed tools designed to support modern swine operations.

As the industry continues focusing on prevention, preparedness, and operational efficiency, connected technologies and actionable data are becoming increasingly important parts of modern herd health management.
