CropConnect 2021 Cancelled Due To COVID-19

The 2021 CropConnect Conference has been cancelled due to COVID-19. Below is a statement from the organizing committe:
 
The difficult decision has been made to cancel the 2021 CropConnect Conference, at the Victoria Inn Hotel and Convention Centre in Winnipeg due to the uncertainties regarding COVID-19 specifically relating to events of our size.
 
Our ag community’s well-being is our top priority. With so many unknowns the CropConnect committee felt that it was financially prudent and in everyone’s best interests that we follow the expert advice we are all receiving to limit or eliminate large group gatherings in order to continue to slow the spread of this virus in our province.
 
Please keep your calendars marked as planning is underway to virtually host four Annual General Meetings on February 10 & 11, 2021. Stay tuned for more details.
 
We appreciate your understanding and we look forward to staying connected with you and hopefully we will be back full force February 15&16, 2022.

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.
