Accountant by day, Angus producer by night,…

Consumers have no beef with feeding food waste to cattle
Consumers really do eat up the idea of cattle consuming food waste. So much so, that a recent survey showed that consumers across the country seemed to warm up to the idea of beef production practices in Canada when they were related to a challenge they undertake in their homes everyday. The survey, conducted by…

Hitting reset — rancher style
2021 has been an interesting year for ranchers to say the least.

The Ripple Effect: Keep tag data up to date
It’s a tale as old as time: producers have a bag of extra tags laying around the barn “just in case.” But when activated tags are only used every once in a while, and the data associated with that tag isn’t updated properly, the impact is felt down the line, well after that cow has…

Fall run market factors
The dry weather this summer certainly impacted many producers’ marketing and winter feeding plans, but there was also some welcome moisture relief earlier this fall that took pressure off cow culling and allowed for a bit more orderly fall run of calves.
