The Bovine: Weed-free forage, carrying capacity, and first-gen at the table

Happy May! A new month calls for a new episode of The Bovine!

Kicking off this month’s show, host Debra Murphy takes a dive into our social media and some of the chatter about our last podcast on wild pigs.

Wild pig distribution and eradication on the prairies

Then:

• Alberta Invasive Species Council‘s Executive Director, Megan Evans, gives some background on the Certified Weed-Free Forage Program in the province.
• Beef Cattle Research Council Project Coordinator, Janice Bruynooghe, walks us through the Carrying Capacity Calculator.
• New delegate and first generation farmer/rancher, Doug Roxburgh, talks about his move to Alberta, and ultimately, his decision to run as a delegate for Alberta Beef Producers.

For More:

• Follow Alberta Invasive Species Council and Beef Cattle Research Council on Twitter.
