Beef Cattle Code of Practice to be updated

The Canadian Cattle Association is calling for a revision to the 2013 Beef Cattle Code of Practice.

New information, technology, and advancements in the beef sector have occurred since the code was originally released.

As a result, the industry, general public, and other interested individuals are being asked to participate in a top-of-mind survey relating to the welfare of beef cattle.

The information will be used to help in the development of an updated version of the code.

Once completed, the code will reflect updated requirements and recommended practices for the on-farm care of beef cattle.

The survey is set to close on Friday, May 3rd.

Compounded by no opportunity for knockdown herbicide applications prior to a late April planting, volunteer canola in the furrows started to smother the oat plants. Potential crop impact from early herbicide application in oats can be a concern for many growers, and volunteer herbicide-tolerant canola can be hard to control, so we visited Cropping Manager Duncan Burt to find out the story and the end result.
