Foraging into the Future is back!

Cattle producers from around the southwest are in Swift Current this week for the Foraging into the Future event.

The event is held every two years and is back this year with an in-person event.

This year's theme is "Adding Value in Unconventional Times".

Yesterday the discussion centered around basic livestock nutrition and ration balancing, non-conventional feeds and critical thinking of new practices, bale weights and quality
as well as marketing options.
 

Today's focus is on forage rejuvenation, sainfoin seeding rates and its persistence in grass stands, forage breeding and integrating livestock into annual crops.

Manure to Millions: 50 Yards of Concrete in One Day

Video: Manure to Millions: 50 Yards of Concrete in One Day

50 yards of concrete went down at the Manure Seperation building today. Forms set, rebar tied, gravel packed, and the trucks running one after another until the pad is poured and the crew is finishing it flat.

And because nothing on a pig farm waits for you to finish one job, the semi shows up while the concrete's still wet. Tork and I unload another load of pigs into the barn, get them sorted into pens, and walk the barn once they're settled. Two big jobs, one day, and both of them had to happen.
