Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady

Canadian Cattle Herd Numbers Remain Steady
 
Growth in the Canadian cattle herd continues to remain flat, as was indicated in the July 1 inventory report.
 
Brian Perillat is the manager and senior analyst at CanFax.
 
"If we look at the Canadian beef industry or the herd size, not a lot of change there. Our cow numbers have been flat for a good five to almost seven years. They did show a slight uptick, but less than half a per cent. Basically we're seeing a fairly stable Canadian herd."

A scary day on the sheep farm

Video: A scary day on the sheep farm


Well, after a few days off and finally feeling rested and ready to come home, I got a call from Carissa that our telehandler was on FIRE!! Thankfully, it didn't spread far and she was able to get it out of the barn and as far as she could to protect the sheep and barn. But a good reminder to check the spots where birds like to nest as this seems to be nesting season in the barn.
