I hope someone is documenting the effects of both climate change and Covid 19 upon agriculture and farm families. The effects of insufficient rain and extreme heat in 2020 is carrying over into 2021 with questionable pasture and hay crop, higher feed costs, low water levels, and decreased herd numbers.
On the farm, today, eight calves have arrived and enjoy the freedom of the pasture. Checking the herd and calves provides lots of opportunity for exercise and snapping photos. I will put pictures up as more calves arrive.
What do beef farmers do in the winter? In Carleton County beef enthusiasts prepare beef animals for the annual Carleton County Spring Show & Sale which takes placed at NCCC Florenceville-Bristol, April 12 & 14. 4-H Beef Club members compete with the open classes showcasing the best beef animals in the county. 68 years of tradition demonstrates the determination and the pride of beef farmers.
I invite viewers to check out the Carleton County Spring Show & Sale site. I think the board of directors and other volunteers have put together an informative picture and story of what we do.
Be safe and wear a mask.
