New Forage U-Pick Selection Tool Now Available

Selecting the right forage for your farm or ranch operation can be a challenge.
 
Now producers across Western Canada have access to a new forage management tool to help in that decision.
 
Julie MacKenzie, the Forage U-Pick Project Manager,  says it's a new interactive tool for computers or mobile devices that looks at everything from forage selection to seeding rates, and weed management.
 
"We know the importance of matching forages to your field and your conditions and looking at what we've learned about forages over the last number of years.  A producer can increase production and profitability even by you know, 0.1 tons per acre, you're looking at like another 16 tons of forage produced a year."

Video: The Ewe I've Been Waiting For Has Lambed!

The ewe I have been waiting for to have lambs has finally lambed. She is one of our favorite sheep at Ewetopia Farms and she is also one of our oldest ewes. She was so round with lambs that she was almost prolapsing from the pressure of the size of her belly. We thought she would be one of the first to give birth, but she was one of the last in the first group! Come see who it was and see how lambing worked out for her.
