On yesterday’s program, Barry Yaremcio, beef and forage specialist at the Ag-Info Centre, discussed some seeding options to help plan to avoid future feed shortages. I asked him about the economics of these options.

Video: The Hunt for New Life: Fall Calving at Pride Ranch Episode 1

Fall calving season is officially underway here at Pride Ranch. Today I’m walking the pastures, checking udders, watching behavior, and hoping to find the first newborn of the season. Some cows look close… others are still holding out.

In this episode:

• Pasture checks and cow behavior

• Signs a calf is getting close

• Where cows like to hide newborns

• The first official hunt of the season
