@SheldrickTrust Korbessa. The little frog. So adorable.

We are endlessly grateful to every one of our supporters who help us provide the first-class care orphaned elephants need to survive, thrive, and ultimately return to their rightful home in the wild. Are you one of our adopters? Like Thamana, we’re being nosy – who do you adopt?

A great opportunity to strengthen your practical welfare assessment skills!

Join the University of Guelph on Saturday, May 23rd, 2026, for a Producer Day focused on practical, science-based strategies to optimize pre-weaning calf management. Register for a day of learning and engaging discussions at colostrummeeting.com

@2isbest2025 @cullenoncurling JP in mixed doubles plays lead and skip stones, plus does the majority of line calling - and she can sweep. It's a good move for her.

Big lineup change here. The first domino to fall came last week with the departure of Val and Einarson drops the second one here. Now it’ll be interesting to see what moves in the wake of this announcement

@Erdayastronaut Been following this for a long while. Canadian astronaut @Astro_Jeremy is going to be aboard. First Canadian going to the moon. Brave men and women on the crew.

I'm honestly SHOCKED at how the general public has NO IDEA Artemis II is taking humans out to the moon and will be the furthest humans have ever flown. Every non-space nerd I've talked to has no idea. WE GOTTA GET PEOPLE STOKED!!!! THESE FOUR HUMANS ARE FLYING TO THE MOON!!!

@TerryDaynard Brilliant farmers, and very happy cows. They have welcomed thousands of farm tours from dozens of different countries and are always seeking new knowledge.

Great story. Wonderful farm family. Very entrepreneurial. farmersforum.com/milk-run-hamil…

@Fischerlind @TerryDaynard @kevinki16180099 I took mom and dad in once. They lasted about 5 minutes!

@TerryDaynard @kevinki16180099 I have never been in a Costco but would like to see it sometime.

Interesting overview: Amazon's venture into in-store grocery shopping. "Amazon’s disruption of Walmart is a slow work in progress" foodnavigator-usa.com/Article/2026/0…

Check out this article highlighting research from the Widowski lab investigating elevated platforms for pullets. Great work Madison!

@kevinki16180099 @TerryDaynard @kellydaynard I pick up stuff for them at Costco. Over-the-counter meds are much cheaper. I also get gas there. I don't like the crowds so am in the store only a few times a yr. Parking is insane.

@TerryDaynard Lol, everytime we go too one I ask my wife why we are here. I trust there pricing formula's. In Windsor its kind of a United Nations shopping trip. Great meat dep't. You can always send @KarenDaynard or @kellydaynard
