Happy Canadian Ag Day! Sorry I’m late…

a) the cows were out
b) water froze up
c) dogs were out
d) was saving a sheep from a near death experience

(Pick from any one of my regular excuses)

It’s the best life.

What’s the wildest thing you’ve ever found in your calf warmer?? He didn’t want to come out either haha

[Sawmill Creek Livestock @PlettLaura]

Great opportunity to hear how these interesting folks got involved in the beef industry. I’m currently a member at large on CCA’s youth council and it’s been a really great experience.

The ewes aren’t due to lamb for another week, but the weather this morning was just too nice to pass up. 🏝

[Sawmill Creek Livestock @PlettLaura]

This years lamb crop is batting 200% live, healthy, unassisted lambs! *

* statistics may change once more than one ewe has actually lambed…

@Rusty_Weiner_ It really varies from place to place and year to year. This year we had lots, thanks to all the rain we had. Poorer quality, but lots of it. Last year we were in a drought situation, so supplies were pretty tight.

@Myhre_Hans If you bond them to cattle they will protect them the same as sheep. The cows get used to them surprisingly fast and relax around them. Dogs learn quickly to respect their space. Yearlings love them, something to lick haha.

Let me know your looking for some dog power… guardian dogs were a game changer for our operation and the only way we’re able to run livestock where we do 👍 #cdnagtwitter #turkishkangal #livestockguardiandogs #workingdogs https://t.co/t5KJX7m3BB

@Myhre_Hans We have a couple dogs stay in the fence with the sheep and a couple as “perimeters” that are out of the fence and travel between the sheep and the cattle pastures.
