Digging in with UFA - Animal Health and Welfare

From the outside looking in, there are often some big misconceptions about the treatment of animals in agriculture and the implications for the consumer. This week we are digging in on animal health and welfare in agriculture. Join us for insightful conversations featuring Joyce Van Donkersgoed, a dedicated feedlot veterinarian, lead consultant for the Beef Cattle Research Council, and Western Canadian Animal Health Chair, alongside Dickson Delorme, a rancher turned comedian and YouTube personality, known to his 150K+ subscribers as Quick Dick McDick. Together, we address some of the most pressing issues facing Canadian agriculture today. Guided by our host Don Shafer, in partnership with UFA Co-operative, we’re ready to dig in.
