Wall Defends Canadian Beef

May 04, 2016

Premier Brad Wall encourages people not to fall for marketing gimmicks and to place a priority on our agriculture sector and ranchers.

Wall made the comments this week after Earls Restaurant Chain announced it would be purchasing Certified Humane beef from the U-S.

He notes what it does is confuse people about what’s science and what’s marketing.

"The beef code the beef industry follows is second to none in the world and the food safety standards and human treatment of animals is second to none," says Wall.

"We know how Saskatchewan ranchers raise their beef, we know the beef code they all must and do subscribe and adhere to.. I think it is time for some of these restauraunt chains to set aside the marketing not based on fact and place a priority on Canadian beef, food products and agriculture."

Video: Making budget friendly pig feed on a small livestock farm

I am going to show you how we save our farm money by making our own pig feed. It's the same process as making our cattle feed just with a slight adjustment to our grinder/ mixer that makes all the difference. We buy all the feed stuff required to make the total mix feed. Run each through the mixer and at the end of the process we have a product that can be consumed by our pigs.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
