NEWS & EVENTS
- I trust everyone weathered the weather events of the last few days and have come through with little to no damage. The Department's facilities suffered a bit of minor damage, including some roof damage at the dairy, two trees down at the feedlot, and part of one shelter at the feedlot deconstructing shall we say (picture below). However, no one and no animals were hurt and the fence and shelter can be fixed.
