All Things Agriculture - Traceability

Hey everybody!!

Hope all is well! I had a pretty bad incident at work the other day with burning hot gravy meeting the skin on my chest, and leaving me with some lovely second degree burns.  So between getting my burn dressed every morning at the hospital and appointments with plastic surgeons, I managed to get some down time to fill you in on "All Things Agriculture"!

I had a friend ask how we kept track of our cattle, and she was quite surprised when I told her that there were many ways, one of which included a tattoo for the cows!!  Way cool, I know!

So here is the deal.  Right above you will see an "All Things Agriculture" tab, click it.  It is in this tab that you will find out just how farmers keep track of our rough and rowdy cattle herds!

Once on that page, scroll down, like way down, you will see a heading that says "Topic 3 - Traceability", that's where you need to be!!

Check it out, you'll love it!!

Let me know if you have any questions, I am more than happy to answer them!

All Things Agriculture! - Feedlot on the Spot

Hi everybody!

So a couple of ladies asked me about feedlots, and just what was up with them! So I did a blog on it! Check out my page "All Things Agriculture" the article is towards the bottom, Topic 2 is the heading! I tried to put as much information as I could about feedlots, with links, pictures, and a story from a vegan who took a trip to a feedlot, all on the page! Unfortunately, quite often the media portrays things in agriculture in a negative way.  Feedlots and slaughter plants are probably the hardest hit!  This is why it is so important for consumers to hear the truth and to truly know where their beef is coming from and how it is handled.

I encourage you to check out the page and leave me some feedback.  If you want more information I can try to help you out!  Also, check out this link, Western Feedlots, this feedlot is located in Alberta.  I had the opportunity to take a tour of the High River portion of the feedlots, and I was so impressed by the care and the condition of the cattle and the facilities.  Check it out, it is well worth your time!

Cheers!
