Why post-drought pasture management matters for beef farmers

Knowing how perennial plants function can help producers make better decisions

By
Pasture management is always important, but it is especially important following a drought. During these challenging periods, pastures may suffer and degrade, resulting in the loss of valuable forage, soil erosion and diminished fertility.

Prairie forecast: Looking warm and dry for Canada Day

Forecast issued June 25, covering June 25 to July 2, 2025

By
A broad but unorganized area of low pressure impacts all three Prairie provinces for at least the first half of this forecast period. Unsettled weather means it will be a difficult forecast to pin down. It also means seasonable temperatures with no big intense heat waves expected—though that doesn’t mean we won’t see a few hot days.

Prairie forecast: Unsettled weather ahead

Forecast issued June 18, covering June 18 to 25, 2025

Prairie forecast: Where did the summer heat go?

Forecast issued June 11, covering June 11 to 18, 2025

By
Looking at the big picture we start this forecast period with a generally zonal flow across the Prairies as Arctic high pressure slides across the far northern Prairies and weak low pressure moves by to the south. This will bring sunny to partly cloudy skies and near to slightly below-average temperatures.

Veterinary Case Study: Treatment protocols to help manage this common, yet troubling, disease

By
Nate walked through a pen of calves he had just weaned from his first-calf heifers. The day before, he’d noticed flecks of blood in some of the stools, but overall, the calves seemed bright and were eating the hay and chopped oats he offered in bunks.

Prairie forecast: Summer pattern making forecast difficult

Forecast issued June 4, covering June 4-11, 2025

By
We start this forecast period off with an area of low pressure over far northern Manitoba that is slowly moving off into Hudson Bay. To the west, an area of low pressure is developing over the Yukon which is helping to develop a weak ridge of high pressure over Alberta. Over southern Saskatchewan and Manitoba weak high pressure is in place.
