Manitoba Beef Producers Hosting Youth Retreat

Coming up in January, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) is hosting its first ever youth retreat near Brandon for those between the ages of 18 and 39.
 
MBP General Manager Carson Callum commented on the event.
 
"Trying to engage some of the younger folks in the industry that may be coming in and looking to either take over one day or be a part of a operation within their family or particular business and just try to engage and allow for networking and just some general great learning sessions," he said.
 
The event is happening January 13th and 14th at the Manitoba Beef and Forage Initiative (MBFI) farm north of Brandon. Key topics include succession planning, tax and financial issues, land acquisition, as well as managing the business and the human resources side of the operation.

Ice Makes Reorganizing & Moving Sheep Hazardous!

Video: Ice Makes Reorganizing & Moving Sheep Hazardous!

Ice makes reorganizing the sheep barns and moving sheep in preparation for lambing very hazardous - it looks more like sheep skating in an ice rink than walking in a barnyard! But, lambing season is quickly approaching, and we have the final group of ewes that require vaccinating prior to lambing, the last breeding rams need to be removed from breeding groups and tattooed, and the barns all need reorganizing to accommodate the new lambs that will be arriving shortly. So, in today’s sheep farming vlog at Ewetopia Farms, we can no longer wait for better weather conditions and must brave the treacherous ice and hope no one gets injured! This is Canadian sheep farming!
