Ron Gill and I presented demos at the NCBA Trade Show on working with younger calves. We tried to show several styles with proper Beef Quality Assurance (BQA) protocols and animal welfare the priority in all of them. We had lots of good help.

Todd McCartney and Tom Curtin are horseback in the photo. Ron Gill and Chuck Cogsgrove of Anitrace are doing the tagging. Dean Fish and myself are doing the real work on the ground crew.  It all went pretty good, there were a few times when things got a little out of hand but that is real life, you should always learn from each situation.  The cattle and horses were real good to work with.

peace river canada

Last week I crossed the Peace River in northern Alberta.  It is a ice bridge in the winter and they put a ferry in for the non-ice months.  My thoughts this week will be about Canada and the good folks at United Farmers of Alberta.  We always had a good time, ate great, and as you see in the video, people I would “ride the river with.”
