Alberta Pork semi-annual meetings 2023

Feb 06, 2023

Overview

Alberta Pork’s semi-annual meetings are a chance for all registered producers and industry partners to gather for an afternoon of conversation, to receive information about our work, and to provide input on what we do and how we can help you succeed.

Alberta Pork’s 2023 semi-annual meetings will take place in four locations across the province. If you are able, we encourage you to join us for these important gatherings!

Meeting dates and locations

All meeting locations and dates are listed below.

Grande Prairie: Pomeroy Hotel & Conference Centre – Mon., Mar. 13, 2023
Red Deer: Red Deer Resort & Casino – Tues., Mar. 14, 2023
Drumheller: Canalta Jurassic Hotel – Wed., Mar. 15, 2023

In recent years, a meeting has been held in Sherwood Park following Grande Prairie. This year, the Red Deer meeting will take place a day earlier in the week, and a Drumheller meeting has been added in place of Sherwood Park. This decision was made to try to accommodate the most producers as possible.

Also note the former ‘Cambridge Hotel & Conference Centre’ has been renamed ‘Red Deer Resort & Casino.’

Video: You Be The Judge: Evaluating 8 Breeding Rams!

It's time for some honest feedback here at Ewetopia Farms! Today, we’re showing you all eight rams we used for breeding this year. Instead of just presenting them, we thought it would be fun to create a “Ram Report Card” — where we point out both their strengths and areas for improvement.

But here’s the twist: you be the judge! In the comments, let us know what you like about each ram and what you think could be improved. No ram is ever perfect, but every one of them brings something valuable to the flock. By sharing perspectives, we all learn more about what to look for in good breeding stock.

At Ewetopia Farms, we raise registered Suffolk and Polled Dorset sheep, focusing on high-quality genetics, structure, and friendly temperaments. Evaluating breeding rams is part of the bigger picture of building stronger flocks — and we’re excited to share the process with you.
