Fresh Media: New promotion features Island beef

摘要

The snow is piled high wherever I look as I write this article. It has been one of the snowiest winters in Prince Edward Island since 1982 when a state of emergency was declared for parts of Prince county. By now I'm sure most of you have had your fill of blowing snow and are looking forward to spring. For the P.E.I. Cattle Producers, the arrival of spring each year is kicked off with our AGM. This year the annual meeting will be held on April 6 at the Farm Centre in Charlottetown. It will begin at 7pm with the business meeting followed by several presentations. Sean Firth has graciously agreed to speak about trends he sees at Atlantic Stockyards. We've asked him to comment on the cattle he is seeing going through the sale, and ways producers can achieve even higher prices for their feeders by doing things right, down on the farm. We have also invited an Island veterinarian (to be confirmed) to make a presentation on general health issues, and what recommendations he has for producers who want toimprove cattle performance.
