Manitoba Beef Producers Pass 16 Resolutions At Fall District Meetings

Dec 05, 2018

Sixteen resolutions were passed at Manitoba Beef Producers fall district meetings and will now be debated at the group's AGM to be held February 7th in Brandon. The 14 district meetings were held in October and November.

General Manager Brian Lemon says there were a number of resolutions focusing on modern practices.

"For example, the notion of not being able to insure your bales if you leave them out on the field with the intention that you're actually going to be using them out on the field for some sort of winter grazing or bale grazing program," he commented. "It just seems that on one hand we're trying to encourage those sorts of practices and then to have insurance programs not be responsive to that encouragement, it seems like they're lagging a little bit behind."

Other resolutions focused on issues such as the Crown Lands Amendment Act, wildlife damage and risk management programs.

The upcoming AGM will mark the group's 40th year of existence

In this episode of The Swine it Podcast Show Canada, Dr. Joshua Selsby from Iowa State University explains how heat stress affects swine biology and why now is the ideal time to prepare for next summer’s challenges. He breaks down its effects on muscle function, immune responses, and long-term metabolic outcomes. Learn how early planning can protect herd performance when temperatures rise again. Listen now on all major platforms! "Heat stress leads to a cascade of biological damage, beginning with metabolic disruption and expanding across multiple organ systems." Meet the guest: Dr. Joshua Selsby is a Professor in the Department of Animal Science at Iowa State University. With over 15 years of research on skeletal muscle physiology and heat stress, he focuses on understanding how thermal stress disrupts swine metabolism, immune function, and muscle integrity.
