Cattle producers across the Prairies looking to optimize growth and health in their herds can benefit from the insights shared by Elizabeth Nernberg, Livestock Extension Specialist with Manitoba Agriculture. Speaking at a recent producer presentation, Nernberg provided practical advice on backgrounding calves—a critical stage between weaning and feedlot finishing.

Harvest is pretty much complete in the prairie provinces and we are entering the time of year when plans are starting for 2025. Over the next several months, many big events will be held from conferences to trade shows and more. Some of these events focus on woman and all they bring to the industry.

In 2015 when Portage hosted the RBC, the Terriers ended the event hoisting the trophy while a snowstorm raged outside. This time around, it was the Brooks Bandits having that honour, although this time it was sunny and warm outside as May long weekend continued on.

It was a funeral lunch that mourners won't soon forget. As people gathered in the Swan Lake Community Centre, strange noises started coming from the roof. Shortly after that, with everyone safely evacuated, a large chunk of the roof crashed down. Chair of the hall committee Leonard Decosse describes what happened.
