Livestock Producers Looking For Feed

There are a number of Livestock producers who are still looking for additional feed to have on hand over the winter.
 
A hot dry summer in many areas of the province resulted in a lower than anticipated hay harvest.
 
Our neighbors to the east in parts of Manitoba had a good hay yield and in some areas are even looking at a third cut.  
 
Meantime here at home, producers wanting to sell or buy forage, green feed or standing crops can contact the Saskatchewan Ministry of Agriculture Forage, Feed and Custom Service Listing online or call the Agriculture Knowledge Centre (AKC) at 1-866-457-2377.

Sheep Farming Life | Difficulties & Fun Discoveries!

Video: Sheep Farming Life | Difficulties & Fun Discoveries!

Sheep farming life includes difficulties and, in today's episode at Ewetopia Farms, it also includes some fun discoveries and interactions with our young lambs and adult rams. Lambing season is almost done on our sheep farm in Ontario, Canada, but today, we had two more ewes deliver lambs. The Suffolk ewe was rejecting her lamb due to mis-mothering with the Dorset ewe who had lambs at the same time. The Dorset ewe gave birth to twins, with one being extremely small. See how we approach these two problems in the hopes of getting one mother to bond and the other not to mistakenly harm her lamb. We also make a discovery when looking at our two favorite Suffolk lambs, which was a surprising coincidence! Then we catch up with some of our more popular Suffolk and Dorset rams.
