Outreach

Field Days

Each year in the third week of June, the LFCE hosts a summer field day to bring together livestock and forage producers, researchers, graduate students, and industry professionals. This free, day-long event provides an excellent opportunity for the dissemination of project outcomes and strengthens the foundation of the LFCE’s relationship with the livestock and forage industry. Field days are held in early June. For more information please contact Dr. Scott Wright (scott.wright@usask.ca).

We are proud to have hosted summer field days since 2019 (with exception of 2020, due to the COVID-19 pandemic).

Tours

We love to share the amazing research that scientists conduct at the Livestock and Forage Centre of Excellence. And one of the ways we do that is by conducting tours. Graduate students completing research at the centre are fantastic ambassadors and eager to share what they and others are learning in order to advance the livestock industry.

From 4-H club members to producers to government representatives, we have hosted people from far and wide. Our visitors have come from Finland, the United Kingdom, Sweden, Australia, Cameroon, Japan, Vietnam, Mexico, Indonesia and, of course, Canada.

If you are interested in booking a tour, email livestockandforage.tours@usask.ca or scott.wright@usask.ca. 

Guardians of the Grasslands Documentary

Canada’s native grasslands are disappearing at an alarming rate – in fact, they are one of the most endangered ecosystems in the world. A collaboration between The Nature Conservancy of Canada and Ducks Unlimited Canada, along with a collection of ranchers, the film seeks to showcase how cattle continue to create hope on what’s left of these iconic landscapes for the plant and animal species that call them home.
