Canola Swings Higher with Veg Oils

Canola futures were higher on Monday, getting spillover support from gains in other vegetable oils.  

Strength in the Chicago soy complex, along with more moderate gains in European rapeseed and in the off session for Malaysian palm oil combined to support the Canadian oilseed. Global crude oil prices were narrowly mixed, providing little direction to veg oils.   

There is the chance of rain across the Prairies this week, with rising temperatures expected to spark thunderstorms. 

November canola was up $11.60 at $866.70, January was $11.10 higher at $873.30, and March gained $10.60 to $879.90.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
