Livestock show returns to Regina

Canadian Western Agribition returns for its 51st edition starting on Monday.

Known primarily as a livestock event, Agribition also boasts rodeo performances, cabarets, agri-education, and a trade show.

This will be the first Agribition for the new CEO Shaun Kindopp. He was appointed to the position last August. He was busy walking through the facilities on Friday.

“As of 3:00 p.m. today people will be getting ready to move in and have their stalls set up. So, it’s exciting as people start getting set up here,” Kindopp said. “Livestock entries this year are fantastic. We’re really comparable to the 2019 numbers, which is fantastic coming out of the pandemic that we can remain at those levels.”

There’s a Whole Barn Buried Under This Field Now

Video: There’s a Whole Barn Buried Under This Field Now

There's old hog barns under that field now. The old hog barn site on the farm has been sitting there for decades, and this is the week it finally came out: concrete pad, burn pile, charred lumber, all of it loaded into a CAT 725C rock truck and buried in a pit we dug back in the timber.

Tork's been waiting his whole life to drive one of these, so he gets the keys to a 50,000 pound rock truck and I ride shotgun. The excavator loads, the dozer clears the timber, the drone shows the whole site from above, and by sundown there's nothing left of the old place but a smooth patch of dirt. It's a weird feeling erasing something that was here before either of us, but the farm has to keep moving.
