Hope all our clients can take a moment to celebrate Canada turning 159 years old. Plenty to be thankful for this year (mosquitos are not one of them).
Stockyards will be CLOSED Wed July 1 so our families can celebrate Canada Day but will re-open on Thursday July 2. 🇨🇦

The staff of Stockyards are saddened to hear of the loss of Viking Auction Market last night. We are thankful no one was injured (including any cattle) and that the fire departments kept things under control. A 20 year family legacy that wasn't just important to the Grinde family, but thousands of cattlemen across the provinces.
Thinking of the Grinde Family.

Due to unforseen circumstances we will not be having any more sales any time soon. Thank you to all the fire departments that showed up last night, we are thankful no people or animals were hurt, thank you to our customers over the years as well

Pastures are looking great! Here is some great information on the importance of managing your grazing techniques.
Let's see some pasture photos!

Litter (dead plant material left from previous growing seasons) is often called a “rancher’s insurance policy” because it helps pasture systems retain moisture in dry years and can help maintain forage yields.

Learn more about managing pastures to retain adequate litter cover in both tame and native pasture stands.

It's that time of year (might be a bit delayed from all the rain) when producers are getting pairs out on grass. A rewarding feeling but also stressful in making sure the calves (and cows) are ready to head out there with the most protection possible. Know the dosage of each vaccine prior to filling syringes, have a cooler and iced packs to keep the vaccine at the correct temperature and have epinephrine on hand in case of an anaphylactic reaction to the vaccine.
If you have large orders of vaccines please call the clinic ahead of time to make sure we have it all in stock for you.
Happy Branding Season!

Hard to stay out of the bush or tall grass when fencing or checking pairs on pasture, but a few tips to be aware of when heading out this weekend.

Ticks are active throughout Alberta and are commonly found in grassy, brushy, and wooded areas. Whether you're working outdoors, hiking, camping, or enjoying local trails, it's important to take a few simple precautions to help prevent tick bites
✔️ Stay on cleared paths and avoid tall grass when possible
✔️ Wear long sleeves, long pants, and light-coloured clothing
✔️ Tuck pant legs into your socks or boots
✔️ Use insect repellent and follow label directions
✔️ Check yourself, children, pets, clothing, and gear after spending time outdoors
✔️ Shower after spending time in tick-prone areas
A quick tick check only takes a few minutes and can help you, your family, and your pets enjoy the outdoors safely this season.
