Depth of Field with Kelly Sidoryk

By
In the last few weeks, I have had the pleasure of touring around all three of our westernmost provinces for grazing plan workshops, holistic management courses and sessions related to the On-Farm Climate Action Fund. It still strikes me that we really are in the best industry in the best country and it is all […] Read more
“When there is a genuine vision (as opposed to the all-too-familiar ‘vision statement’), people excel and learn, not because they are told to but, because they want to.”

Depth of Field with Kelly Sidoryk

By
In the early ’90s, leadership expert Peter Senge wrote a book called the The Fifth Discipline: The Art and Practice of the Learning Organization. At the time, the ideas were a helpful guide to navigating the pace of change we were encountering. Now, over 30 years later, I think it is still relevant as it […] Read more

We often hear and use the term “stupid” without understanding what stupid really means and the negative connotation stupid can have on those it might be directed toward.

U.S. adds packing plant capacity

Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

By
Recently, I tried a package of Wagyu pre-made ground beef patties. They were priced right so I grilled them up. They were very good. Where did I get them? At Walmart.

Viewing COVID-19 from a veterinary practice perspective

Vet Advice with Dr. Ron Clarke

COVID-19 changed the world. It changed perceptions in animal care, human responsibilities regarding animal health management and how humans will think about their own health down the road.

Dittmer: Skeptical of the unproven

Free Market Reflections with Steve Dittmer

By
I’ve often had to apologize for something inane our politicians or fringe ranchers have been doing down here. But you weren’t supposed to try to catch up. Please tell your politicians to quit trying to outdo our stupidity. It’s unseemly, un-Canadian. I’ve always been appalled at the left’s devotion to dogmas impossible to scientifically, logically […] Read more

When the worms come marching in

As you know, seafood paella is Spain’s great dish to the world.  But Spain also produces remarkable meat products, notably […] Read more

What a difference a year can make!

Nutrition with John McKinnon

By
From a feeding perspective, this fall looks to hold a great deal more promise than that of 2021. At the time of writing, slaughter prices are higher than a year ago and look good going into the fall.
