We want to thank our partners @BeefFarmersON, @OntarioSheep, @OntarioVeal, @OntarioPorkNews, and @OntFruitVeg for all of their dedication to working together, along with the great folks at @AgricultureON, and celebrate today's announcement of new RMP funding. 🚜🙌 It's been a pleasure working with all of you to achieve this! #OntAg 📸 At @CVanQuaethem with @RobFlackEML, @PBethlenfalvy, Mike Chromczak, @SilverCorners15, and @johnjordan_lfk

@Healthyreese @KavalAuthorActs Bhahahah 😂 so true!

So, the girl that used to bully me in high school sent me a facebook friend request. Am I the only one to think this is strange?

A few heifer calves that hopefully grow out to be solid replacement cows. Red SimmAngus #ontag @Shea_8 @BeefFarmersON

@desrochersfarm Yes we have a snow day as well, though roads are perfect. Unfortunately our school board closes schools when the bus is cancelled 🙄

Snow day again. 14 snow days (school bus canceled) so far this year. That's almost 3 weeks of school! My kids go in with mom anyways on snow days, but some kids are missing a ton of school this year with weather and covid.

@kinburnsheep This slopes downhill and has tiles 🤦‍♀️ sheep wouldn't have made such a mess though

These calves and others are heading to Ontario Stockyards for the all vaccinated sale tomorrow. @carrollauctions @BeefFarmersON

Hey @Adam4Bent Here's your yearly delivery of manure! Give @Shea_8 and I maybe a month and a half, and we'll have it all spread for you ok? 😂 #CowsGrazingCoverCrops Sustainable beef and crop production right here.

@Curler_Mike Congratulations Mike!! Beautiful photo

Happily married this beautiful woman I know call my beautiful wife on Saturday with a nice little ceremony and party.

@BeefFarmersON Bridget is taking notes from the Beef Symposium on today.

@sheepfarmbecca @farmerskinner My girls loved seeing the snowman today!

Fun times on the @farmerskinner farm. #snowman #baleart

Program application window is very short this week! (i.e. today and tomorrow)

Brought the cows home today across the new hay seeding. 60 days on cover crops and corn residue is our best year yet. Fairly minimal supplemental feed. If we can get some winter waterbowls set up, it would be nice to go into January. @Shea_8

@kinburnsheep @woody_VA @sandibrock @shaunhaney @realloudlyndsey I didn't test how long she could swim for 😂, we managed to snag her and get her back on board

Reading the new Ken Follett book and I laughed out loud at these two sentences. Even in the year 997, people understood sheep. @realloudlyndsey @kinburnsheep @sandibrock

@woody_VA @kinburnsheep @sandibrock @shaunhaney @realloudlyndsey They can indeed swim...

@kinburnsheep @sandibrock @shaunhaney @realloudlyndsey Can they swim?

Munch munch. Continuing to stretch the grazing season with cover crops. No mud, no manure spreading, no tractors. Cows doing what they like to do out in the field. Just peace and quiet - and a bit of snow. #ontag

Well @FarmingForYou let's see how grazing corn stalks goes

I have mixed emotions about this snowman that we just built.....

What I think is a maximized acre in #ontag Winter wheat provided cover last winter, grew wheat for milling, straw for livestock bedding this summer, & now growing a cover crop & grazing cows. Soil is covered, growing living roots, providing extended feed, reducing env footprint

Planning our 2020 grazing cover mix for beef cows following winter wheat this year. Last year's mix: 25 lbs Oats (rusts) 25 lbs Barley 1 lb Purple Top Turnips 2 lbs Daikon Radish 1 lb Hybrid Brassica 2-3 lbs Crimson Clover Maybe try Spring Triticale in place of oats, thoughts?

@CdnCattlemen @mclaudebibeau For us today & for the next gen to be viable as beef farmers... We need to: #UncapRMP in #ontag #FixPriceInsurance in #wcdnag Re-deploy the set aside program. Action is urgently requested #YoungFarmers @Shea_8 @mclaudebibeau @LaurieScottPC @BarryDevolin_MP @erniehardeman
