PRRSV 144 L1C: A Rapid Response to a National Crisis

Pipestone Research, in partnership with Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health USA Inc., did rapid response research to bring science-based answers to managing the emergence of PRRSV 144. Based on field observations from both producers and practitioners, the Pipestone Research team was hearing comments such as, “This is the worst strain of PRRSV ever,” “Vaccines don’t work anymore”, and “Biosecurity protocols are ineffective,”. This panic encouraged the team to use science to get answers to these concerns.

Catching Up on Hay and Crops! After weeks of delay due to relentless rain, we’re finally back in the fields at Ewetopia Farms! In today’s episode of our daily sheep farming vlog, we take you on a full tour of our hay and crop fields, including first-cut hay, second-cut alfalfa, barley, corn, and beans—all of which go directly into feeding our flock.
