Earls to update their progress in finding Canadian beef suppliers

The Earls restaurant chain is set to make an announcement Wednesday in Edmonton about the progress they’ve made in finding local, Canadian suppliers for the beef they serve.
 
The news conference will include a coalition of key ranchers from across Canada.
 
The company caused an uproar in April when it announced it had signed a deal with an American company to supply all its beef under the certified-humane label.
 
At the time, Earls said it couldn’t find enough of those suppliers here in Canada.

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.
