Congratulations to Jordan Johnson who placed 1st in the 2025 @LFCE_usask Field Day graduate student research poster competition on June 17!
“Increasing Dietary Copper Sulfate Does Not Improve Copper Status of Beef Heifers Consuming High-Sulfate Water”
#USaskResearch
Meet #USask grad student Jordan Johnson!
Jordan is supervised by Dr. Greg Penner and is a @NSERC_CRSNG scholarship recipient!
Project: Addressing High-Sulfate Water for Cattle and Sheep
Cow-calf producers usually love these lick tubs because of the reduction in time and labor associated with feeding animals. But be careful!!! They can be expensive and ineffective!

@tara_m_davidson@SKAgriculture He always does such a beautiful job editing our videos, but he couldn’t do it without the message either. Thanks for being such an advocate for rural women. I’m sure your message here will resonate with many!
Our May edition of #FacesofFarming takes us to Ponteix, Sask., where we join Tara Davidson of Lonesome Dove Ranch. Watch below to hear Tara's perspective on the cattle industry and women working in agriculture.
Rural women are vital to #SaskAg ranching operations and communities, and that's worth celebrating. Tune into a two-part webinar series that honours their strength and resiliency at #CelebratingRuralRanchingWomen. For more info, visit: https://t.co/pYpXahvboB
Join us for the Foraging into the Future Webinar series. Topics include developing new forages, role of diverse cover crops for beef cattle, what it means if your land is classified as federal critical habitat and forage rainfall insurance. Register today: https://t.co/zmhN1P0KX2
Today is #WorldHabitatDay. Cattle protect grasslands & that means protecting #wildlifehabitat & carbon soil sequestration. More than 80% of Canada’s species at risk depend on the grasslands. We are proud of the #cdnbeef farmers & ranchers that preserve this precious landscape.
We showed that cows prefer pelleted barley over steam flaked barley in a robotic milking system. Are there implications for other feeds - is a pellet preferred?

Did you know that #SaskAg has 10 agri-environmental specialists across the province? They can help provide technical info and funding for forages, cross-fencing, sustainable water projects and other environmental topics in agriculture.

Hey barley farmers! @Gregpenner3 needs some #barley! A current @UofS research project is trying to understand how the variability in test weight affects processing. All barley used will be paid for. Find out more: https://t.co/TZFMt4poFb
