Free hot chocolate and an opportunity to view dairy cattle brings people across southern Ontario to Summit Station Dairy of Lynden. Braving the unpredictable late December weather, attendees can enjoy a free tour of the 500-cow dairy during the annual Dairy Farm Open House.

Glenn and Ashley Beckett, owners and operators of Beckridge Holsteins, share the five indispensable components they rely on for their success in and out of the barn. 

The Signers manage a milking herd of about 60 cows, maxing out the space available to them in the farm’s previous tiestall facility. Thus, they set out to create a new facility that would not only incorporate newer technology into their routine, like a robotic milking system, but more importantly, would provide a greater level of comfort to the cows.

Pine trees, snowflakes, eggnog, gingerbread, Christmas lights and a manure spreader parade down the streets of Rockwood, Ontario, in December.

Imaginez que vous ayez le pouvoir de contrôler tous les aspects de votre ferme : rentabilité, production, santé animale, réforme, succès de la reproduction…

Avez-vous déjà eu l'impression que la solution à un problème serait réalisable, mais que le bon outil n’existe pas encore?
