Now Tougher For Americans To Find Out Where Their Beef Or Pork Was Born

It's now tougher for Americans to find out where their beef or pork was born, raised and slaughtered.
 
After more than a decade of official complaints of protectionism from Canada and Mexico, the U-S Congress repealed a contentious labelling law last month that required retailers to include the animal's country of origin on packages of red meat.
 
Before repeal, the World Trade Organization authorized Canada and Mexico to launch more than a billion dollars in economic retaliation against the U-S.

Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Video: Cleaning Sheep Barns & Setting Up Chutes

Indoor sheep farming in winter at pre-lambing time requires that, at Ewetopia Farms, we need to clean out the barns and manure in order to keep the sheep pens clean, dry and fresh for the pregnant ewes to stay healthy while indoors in confinement. In today’s vlog, we put fresh bedding into all of the barns and we remove manure from the first groups of ewes due to lamb so that they are all ready for lambs being born in the next few days. Also, in preparation for lambing, we moved one of the sorting chutes to the Coveralls with the replacement ewe lambs. This allows us to do sorting and vaccines more easily with them while the barnyard is snow covered and hard to move sheep safely around in. Additionally, it frees up space for the second groups of pregnant ewes where the chute was initially.
