Province Wants Feedback On Proposed Livestock Regulation Changes

Mar 31, 2017

The Manitoba government is looking for feedback on proposed changes to the Livestock Manure and Mortalities Management Regulation (LMMMR).

The hope is to reduce unfair regulatory barriers and to streamline processes to protect the environment and remove duplication within legislation and regulation.

The changes are expected to help facilitate growth of the livestock industry and its contribution to economic growth and employment opportunities in Manitoba.

Manitoba Sustainable Development will be accepting written submissions until May 12th, 2017.

Video: Making budget friendly pig feed on a small livestock farm

I am going to show you how we save our farm money by making our own pig feed. It's the same process as making our cattle feed just with a slight adjustment to our grinder/ mixer that makes all the difference. We buy all the feed stuff required to make the total mix feed. Run each through the mixer and at the end of the process we have a product that can be consumed by our pigs.

I am the 2nd generation to live on this property after my parents purchased it in 1978. As a child my father hobby farmed pigs for a couple years and ran a vegetable garden. But we were not a farm by any stretch of the imagination. There were however many family dairy farms surrounding us. So naturally I was hooked with farming since I saw my first tractor. As time went on, I worked for a couple of these farms and that only fueled my love of agriculture. In 2019 I was able to move back home as my parents were ready to downsize and I was ready to try my hand at farming. Stacy and logan share the same love of farming as I do. Stacy growing up on her family's dairy farm and logans exposure of farming/tractors at a very young age. We all share this same passion to grow a quality/healthy product to share with our community. Join us on this journey and see where the farm life takes us.
