Our AGM is just one week away

Alberta Pork’s next annual general meeting (AGM) takes place on Thursday, November 23, 2023. This one-day event will take place at the Sheraton Cavalier Calgary Hotel, located at 2620 - 32 Ave. NE in Calgary, Alberta.

We have arranged the meeting agenda to help inform and inspire producers and our industry partners!

The AGM will include the business meeting in the morning, followed by a lineup of exciting presentations in the afternoon from the Canadian Pork Council (CPC), trusted market analyst Brett Stuart and renowned food policy expert Sylvain Charlebois (with whom you may be familiar from his appearances in national news media, as he frequently comments on issues affecting agri-food).

We hope to see you there!

Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

Video: Shearing Delay Leads To Kingston 4H Sheep Show!

What started as a disappointment turned into a day full of surprises, fun, and celebration as we leave Ewetopia Farms behind and head out to the Kingston Fair to watch the 4H sheep show

Today’s vlog was supposed to be another sheep shearing day here at Ewetopia Farms, but when our shearer had to cancel, we suddenly found ourselves with an unexpected free day. Lucky for us, the Kingston Fair was happening — and some of our own sheep (and friends) were competing!

We brought along our shearing helper and headed to the fairgrounds to cheer on the 4H kids and see how our sheep did in the show. From last-minute preparations and sheep showmanship to market lamb competitions and ewe classes, we take you behind the scenes of what it’s really like at a country fair.

We couldn’t be prouder — our girls walked away with wins in both showmanship and breeding ewe classes! Afterwards, we toured the fair, met a beekeeper with fascinating insights, admired other livestock shows, and wrapped up the evening with motocross stunts and a demolition derby!

Sometimes farm life throws curveballs — but today, it gave us the chance to celebrate community, our sheep, and the next generation of shepherds.
