		<description><![CDATA[We&#8217;re excited to see the amount of farmers that are using social media outlets to tell their stories about farming. Here&#8217;s a great article from the July 12 edition of the Calgary Herald that features once such farmer. We&#8217;re now following her on Twitter and hope you will too! &#8211; OFAC

We like this article, published recently in the Guelph Mercury newspaper, that discusses this fact and a recent national funding announcement designed to take animal welfare even further in Canada &#8211; OFAC

		<description><![CDATA[There&#8217;s been so many misconceptions in recent years, perpetuated by animal and environmental activist groups, about the effects of livestock on global warming. Those of us who work in agriculture think of farmers as being the original environmental activists. They live on the farms that they manage &#8211; often for generations at a time &#8211; [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At Farm Animal Councils across Canada, we frequently get calls from people driving by farm properties asking questions about the farm animals they see living in the fields. One common theme of questions we receive this time of the year is about animal housing in the winter - specifically, can cattle live outdoors in the winter. This article does a great job of answering that question - OFAC

As the winter season is here in Chatham-Kent, let's look at cattle being left outside during these cold months....Like all mammals, cows are warm-blooded and need to maintain a constant core body temperature. Special management and planning is required for cattle to graze outdoors in the winter. For this to be successful, producers select the proper breed of cattle and create the proper conditions for the winter season.
