I'd go with the Ayrshire-Holstein cross. We milked 80 of them at one time. They'd give almost as much milk as a Holstein, but with the Ayrshire in them they'd do it on poorer feed if they had to. They'd make the best grazers too.

One thing would be to understand that NZ did more than eliminate ag subsidies, they eliminated a great many things across their society. Just eliminating ag subs wouldn't have worked. For example, the school budgets were cut to the point where in many cases they no longer had janitors, the...

I'm more curious to know when British Columbia moved to Ottawa

I'm at $8/cow, $5/cow for 3 or more on a trip.

From what I understand they're collecting antibodies from horses infected with E.Coli then refining them to produce the vaccine for cattle. The horses are just up the road here, run around on pasture all the time and every X days get taken into a lab on the farm and have some blood drawn or...

The raw material for this vaccine is produced about 2 miles from me. BELLEVILLE, ON, Feb. 5 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ - Bioniche Life Sciences Inc. (TSX: BNC), a research-based, technology-driven Canadian biopharmaceutical company, today received notice from the United States Department of...

Around here, when farmers use it, it means, any farm with one more (acre, cow, pig) than my farm. When non-farmers use it, it means any farm that's bigger than the farm they grew up on or their grandparents grew up on.

The only place I've seen foreign beef outnumbering Canadian is at M&M Meats, then it's mostly Argentina or some of the other SA countries as well as New Zealand.

Dairy cows are giving so much more milk than beef cows when they freshen that the colostrum is usally gone within 12-24 hours anymore anyway. We milk our fresh cows as soon as we see a calf and tube-feed the calf as much colostrum as it can hold, otherwise they won't physically drink enough to...

It's not hard to make grandiose claims with watered-down standards. It's been a couple of years since I've seen the average milk somatic cell counts in the US but at that time, the average dairy farm in the state of Florida would not have been allowed to stay in business in Canada due to high...

Notice the prices in the story above... $700 average for Holstein springers. That isn't a typo, actually it's on the high end of what they've been for the past 4 years.

CKNX News Farm Bred Heifers Going to Barbados It's been almost 4 years since a live bred heifer has left the country - but tomorrow -- that's expected to change. Barbados is importing 80 bred Holstein heifers from Shores of London. The animals will be leaving Hamilton airport tomorrow...

CFIA is supposed to be monitoring the WAY in which things are mixed and handled and restricted feeds but I think when it comes to substituting a non-restricted feed for another it's pretty much buyer beware.

They're going to be permanently marked and the only place they can go is Gencor foods when they are eventually culled. Vets have to certify them in the assembly yards for Gencor before they can go. There were three cars that had MBM in them, the worker that was supposed to clean them apparently...

I have a couple of neighbours under quarantine for this. It was Purina, they hauled meat meal in a truck and it didn't dump completely out then didn't clean it before they hauled another feed. An unknown amount of meat meal was used in dairy rations. They don't know what's going to happen to the...

Farm groups from NY/Michigan/Ohio etc. are now complaining in Ontario that they think their packers are going to go under because the Better Beef plant got so much more efficient with the border closed/Cargill takeover that they're now sucking a pile of cattle north because the US packers in the...

And another thing... how come when 4 Canadians die in Afghanistan, the US media will only say that "4 NATO soldiers died", never that they were Canadians? Would it be too much of a shock to Americans to know that Canadians are dying? Would it be too much to dispel the myths we see from most...

I'd like to know more about if this is true. I hope it isn't, but if it is, I hope he keeps his butt out of Canada. Risk of death soars for Canada's troops 4 more soldiers killed in attack Report describes `unfair burden' Sep. 19, 2006. 05:45 AM BILL SCHILLER STAFF REPORTER The deaths of four...

Maple Leaf, there are lots of places in Ontario where you don't have to pay $5000 an acre that you could look at too. Lots of areas in Central Ontario where it's $1000 or less because the Europeans don't like it, but as far as raising cattle it's just great, or up in Renfrew, or lots of places...

Personally I think we should all find something to eat instead of beef. Anybody know of a good marinade for PETA members?
