Our AGM is just one week away

Nov 16, 2023

Alberta Pork’s next annual general meeting (AGM) takes place on Thursday, November 23, 2023. This one-day event will take place at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel, located at 2620 - 32 Ave. NE in Calgary, Alberta.

We have arranged the meeting agenda to help inform and inspire producers and our industry partners!

The AGM will include the business meeting in the morning, followed by a lineup of exciting presentations in the afternoon from the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), trusted market analyst Brett Stuart and renowned food policy expert Sylvain Charlebois (with whom you may be familiar from his appearances in national news media, as he frequently comments on issues affecting agri-food).

We hope to see you there!

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.
