Updating cow-calf management benchmarks

The Beef Cattle Research Council (BCRC) is asking cow-calf producers to share insight into their on-farm management practices and production methods. The 2023 Canadian Cow-Calf Survey is an online questionnaire that will collect data to help understand trends in production practices and efficiencies over time.

Producers’ identities and information will remain anonymous and  be held in the strictest confidence, BCRC says. Information will be pooled and only published in aggregate.

Collecting credible information directly from producers helps the BCRC identify research priorities and information gaps, develop provincial benchmarks, and examine changes over time that impact producers.

Beware giving horses too much iron

Horses consuming too much iron through diet or well water risk health problems like laminitis. Mineral testing forage and water is good practice for owners.
