Cow-Calf Survey

 
Do you wonder how your cow-calf operation compares with others in your region, province or herd size on matters like conception rate and weaning weight? A joint effort representing the cow-calf industry in many parts of the country is helping cattle producers do just that. Barry Yaremcio, beef forage specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, joins us on the line to talk about the second Western Canadian Cow-Calf Survey.

In World Without Cows, journalists Michelle Michael and Brandon Whitworth take viewers on a global journey to explore the essential role of cattle in agriculture, food systems, and rural economies. Through interviews with farmers, ranchers, and environmental scientists, the documentary challenges the growing wave of misinformation surrounding cattle and climate change.

Prompted by the rise of unscientific narratives that paint livestock in a negative light, Michael and Whitworth set out to tell a more balanced story—one rooted in evidence and lived experience. The film highlights the cultural significance of cows, their contribution to global nutrition, and the innovations within the industry aimed at reducing environmental impact.

World Without Cows is a compelling reminder of the complexity and importance of livestock in a sustainable future.
