It has been a very busy summer, fencing new pastures, building new corrals, working on the barn, putting up hay, etc.

I’m really excited about this past weekend, when I took the Sheep Cervical AI course at Lakeland College in Vermilion, AB.
It enables us as producers, to cervically AI our own sheep, which gives us a low cost alternative to laparoscopic AI.
It will allow us to control breeding synchronization independently of veterinary availability and scheduling constraints.
It gives us the opportunity to use more widely diverse genetics, including those from other countries that we can import from.
Thanks to:
- Dr. Phil Purdy (USDA) and Dr. Carl Lessard, curator of CAGR, who taught, demonstrated and coached us through the procedure.
- Jason Cooper who saw the need for a course like this and organized it.
- the SSDB and ADOPT for sponsoring it.
