Welcome Update! Amadeus Livestock has sold 27 of our 37 ewes and the others are going out on lease until I have finished school or found a place where I can keep them again. I will keep the website up for reference and report on the progress of my girls as I hear. Amadeus Livestock is a Northern Alberta sheep farm. We breed commercial Suffolk/Dorset/Texel crosses. We provide ewes, rams, show lambs and butcher lambs to our area and province. The main aspect of our farm is selling market lambs; because of this our ewes and rams are bred for muscling and quick growth as well as mothering ability. At present there are 25 ewes, 23 lambs and one stud ram on the farm. We lambed this year from January 2nd through February 10th. We started marketing our lambs at the begining of April. Right now we are planning on liquidating our stock, for more information check out "sheep for sale" For more information about our animals, click on the links or email me.

Livestock [Home] The Museum keeps several types of farm livestock, which can be seen in various parts of the site. They are managed in a traditional way, and the main breeds are maintained in small numbers sufficient to be viable for breeding. Horses Cattle Sheep Pigs ... Birds Horses The Museum keeps draught horses. They are either pure bred Shire horses or crossed with another breed. They represent as nearly as possible the traditional size of cart horse that would have been found on farms from the middle of the 19th century until the mid 1950s. They were used for all kinds of farm work and for heavier local transport. Many of the draught horses seen today have been bred for show purposes, and the trend has been towards larger and larger animals.

Watering livestock Water requirements for sheep and cattle Introduction Water quality Environmental factors Animal factors ... Further information Warning Chemical residues and pollutants Contamination of water supplies by chemicals and other pollutants is a risk, particularly in mixed farming areas, where the use of pesticides and herbicides is common. Producers should be aware of the risks involved in the use or misuse of these compounds. Contamination of ground water or catchment areas could lead to intake of chemicals by stock and wildlife. While there may not be any direct toxic effect on the stock, some chemicals can stay in the animal as residues which may render the produce of that animal unfit for consumption and expose the owner to the cost and inconvenience of quarantine or prosecution or both. Introduction Water is an essential nutrient for all animals. It is important for both animal welfare and business profitability that sheep and cattle have an adequate supply of good quality water. Amount and quality of water required vary between species of livestock, between classes of stock within the species, and in response to the environment in which the stock are running. This Agfact describes the factors affecting the water needs of stock and suggests likely consumption and quality requirements.

Resources Abstract This publication introduces concerns and practices specifically related to sustainable sheep production. Topics covered include breed selection, controlled grazing, pasture lambing, alternative health management, and innovative marketing of meat and wool products. A list of further resources is also included. Go To Top Introduction Integrating sheep into a farming operation can contribute to the economic and environmental sustainability of the whole farm. Sheep will enhance the farm's biological diversity, and may fit economic and biological niches that would otherwise go unfilled. The relatively small investment required, and the gradually increasing size of the flock, make sheep production a good choice for the beginning small-scale or part-time farmer. For the established farmer seeking to diversify, sheep offer a number of benefits.

G89-915-A (Revised April 1997) Testing Livestock Feeds For Beef Cattle, Dairy Cattle, Sheep and Horses This NebGuide provides tips on how to determine feeds you should analyze and nutrients to measure. It tells how to interpret the results of feed analysis. Rick Grant, Extension Dairy Specialist Bruce Anderson, Extension Forage Specialist Rick Rasby, Extension Beef Specialist Terry Mader, Extension Beef Specialist Previous Category Catalog Order Info Why Test Feeds? ... Interpreting Test Results Why Test Feeds? Nutrient concentration can vary considerably in feeds, especially forages. Protein in alfalfa hay can range from 10 to 25 percent or more of the dry matter; grass hay will contain between four and 18 percent protein. Use feed tests to target specific feeds to different livestock. Feed high quality forage to the most productive livestock or when nutrient needs are highest. Feed lower quality forage to animals with lower nutrient needs. Feed tests can help establish the dollar value of a forage, in the cash market or in personal use inventories. Use these tests to establish the value of your forage and to help determine what forages to feed, buy, or sell. Forage tests are useful to evaluate production practices like fertilization, time of harvest, method of harvest, etc., that may influence forage quality. Management skills can improve by learning how changes in production practices affect the quality of your forages.
