Another New Case of PED in Ontario Puts Producers on Guard

After almost 4 months with no new cases, Ontario has now reported 4 cases in the last month.

The latest case was reported yesterday in a finisher barn in Oxford County.

The increase in frequency of cases suggests the experts were right in predicting a PED spike with the onset of colder weather.

For the latest on PED, prevention and experiences of two producers who had PED on their farm, join the next Alberta Pork telephone town hall.

Explore Frontenac Provincial Park hiking trails with The Wandering Shepherds as we leave Ewetopia Farms and sheep farming behind and take a long overdue break hiking through the beautiful forests, lakes, boardwalks, and cliffs of Doe Lake and Arab Gorge Trails in Sydenham, Ontario, Canada. This is how we, as sheep farmers, take a break and soak up the local scenes and nature in our area. Farmers can't leave their farms for long, so these little nearby hiking trails allow that escape from farm life for a few hours before we head back to our working sheep farm for evening chores.
