Seeding Annual and Winter Annual Crops for Feed

Environmental stress from last summer and fall, higher than normal levels of winter kill, and a lack of moisture this spring have reduced the yield potential in many perennial forage stands. Localized feed shortages could be possible in many areas of the province. Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Ag-Info Centre takes a look at hay yields and feed options for livestock producers to consider.

Sorting Ewes & Rams | Breeding Time On The Farm!

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.
