Beef and Forage Roundup

MBFI Inc.

Hi and Welcome to the podcast! My name is Chantel McRae and I will be your host. I started working for MBFI in January of 2022 as an Extension Specialist with the goal of increasing awareness and information regarding the projects and important research happening at MBFI. One of the ways we have decided to do that is through a podcast that shares information on the research projects that are being conducted here, as well as extension events and on farm practices and technologies. MBFI is a not for profit organization developed through partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers, Ducks Unlimited Canada and the Manitoba Forage and Grassland Association with direction from stakeholders collaborating for the advancement of the industry. MBFI’s mission is to advance the Manitoba beef and forage industry by engaging stakeholders, evaluating on-farm innovation, and extension for sustainability of farmers, the public and the environment. In short we Engage, Evaluate and Extend. MBFI’s Goal is to promote excellence, efficiency, and sustainability of practice in the agricultural industry in Manitoba for the dual benefit of the public and the environment by conducting on-farm research and field testing of practices related to beef cattle and forage production and disseminating the results to farmers and the public, as well as through providing hands-on learning opportunities and work placements for the development of professionals entering beef cattle and forage production. We will be sharing information through interviews with General Manager, Mary Jane Orr, project leads for various projects, MBFI team members, speakers from our extension events, industry leaders and industry suppliers. This podcast will dig deep into on-farm research and field testing practices related to beef cattle and forage production and efficiency and sustainability of practice in the agricultural industry in Manitoba. We will be sharing information on upcoming training and workshops, field and farm demonstration tours, education materials and events at MBFI, as well as producer profiles from around the province and information on their own trials, challenges, innovation and results.

  1. The Forage Efficient Cow Project with Dr. Mika Asai-Coakwell & Nyah Hopkins - Cow Efficiency Mini Series

    1D AGO

    The Forage Efficient Cow Project with Dr. Mika Asai-Coakwell & Nyah Hopkins - Cow Efficiency Mini Series

    Dr. Mika Asai-Coakwell is an assistant professor in bovine genetics at the University of Saskatchewan. Raised in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, she completed her BSc and MSc at the University of Saskatchewan and earned her doctoral degree at the Swiss Federal Institute of Technology (ETH). Following her postdoctoral research in ocular genetics at the University of Alberta in Edmonton, Alberta, she returned to the University of Saskatchewan’s College of Agriculture and Bioresources. Her research program focuses on identifying genes and genetic pathways associated with beef cattle production traits, including cow productivity and efficiency, reproductive traits such as gestational length, and carcass characteristics. By advancing understanding of the genomic basis of these economically important traits, her research supports the application of genomic technologies to improve efficiency, profitability, and sustainability in beef cattle production. Nyah Hopkins is a graduate student at the University of Saskatchewan and is currently completing her Master's degree in Animal Science. She grew up in Outlook, Saskatchewan, and completed her Bachelor’s degree in Animal Bioscience at the University of Saskatchewan. During her undergraduate program, Nyah gained an interest in livestock genetics and completed a research thesis with Dr. Asai-Coakwell looking at genes involved in fat deposition in beef cattle. Through this experience, she became passionate about understanding the genetic mechanisms behind traits and how this can be applied to livestock production. Her master’s program seeks to understand the genetic mechanisms behind efficiency in the cow-calf sector, and she hopes her research will aid producers in identifying and selecting more efficient cattle. In today’s episode, we chat with Mika and her graduate student, Nyah, about their work on the Forage Efficient Cow Project. This project has been in the works for quite some time, spearheaded by Dr. Greg Penner. To start out today, we chat about the conventional definition of feed efficiency in beef cattle, as well as the definition they are using for this project, and why these differ. We also talk about phenotypic factors, genotypes and genetic markers and how they are assessed in this project. We also discuss how the microbiome and physical features and characteristics like rumen volume play a role in the efficiency of cattle. Being able to select and breed forage efficient cattle, may have many benefits not only to producers, but also to the environment and ag industry in general. The research programs and daily operations at MBFI would not be possible without the funding from the Province of Manitoba, Government of Canada, and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, as well as the partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC). We encourage you to follow MBFI on social media, or check out the website for more information on project findings and results, upcoming events and more!

    MBFI Herd Project Update with Mary-Jane Orr - Cow Efficiency Mini Series

    Mary-Jane leads a dedicated team at MBFI to advance Manitoba’s beef & forage industry through engaging stakeholders, evaluating on-farm innovation, and extension for sustainability of farmers, the public, and the environment. She deeply values the opportunity to collaborate with producers, researchers, education providers, extension specialists, conservation groups, and all stakeholders in field-testing management practices and growing understanding of improved production in Manitoba. Mary-Jane holds a PhD from Purdue University in soil microbial ecology in agricultural systems, is a Professional Agrologist, and Certified Crop Advisor. Her experience in ecology and field agronomy gives her a unique perspective on the challenges facing agriculture today. In this episode, we are talking about MBFI’s Case study in Strategic Herd Development. We had chatted with Mary-Jane for Episode #91 about micronutrient deficiencies in MBFI’s herd, as a result of the previous drought year. Mary-Jane gives us a bit of background on this and changes they have made since then with the MBFI herd. We talk about the pregnancy testing results of the herd in 2025, as well as the results of the blood draws that were taken on the MBFI herd to look into micronutrient deficiencies. Mary-Jane also shares the changes they saw in those blood draw results since using Multi-Min. Mary-Jane also shares the goals of the MBFI herd, along with how the herd is being included in a project with Mika Asai-Coakwell and a student of Mika’s, Nyah Hopkins, for their Forage Efficient Cow Study. As we wrap up, we discuss different tools Mary-Jane and the staff are using for herd selection and monitoring, record keeping software and some other new and exciting technologies that are being used with the cattle herd. The research programs and daily operations at MBFI would not be possible without the funding from the Province of Manitoba, Government of Canada, and Sustainable Canadian Agricultural Partnership, as well as the partnership with Manitoba Agriculture, Manitoba Beef Producers (MBP) and Ducks Unlimited Canada (DUC).

    Mental Health in Agriculture with Tracy Young

    Tracy Young is a seasoned mental health clinician and dedicated advocate for rural mental health. She is a Counsellor for the MB Farmer Wellness Program and co-leads the Centre for Critical Studies of Rural Mental Health, Brandon University, where her current research focus is agricultural resilience and wellbeing. Tracy tells us about her work with the Manitoba Farmer Wellness Program, a free service to Manitoba farmers, farm families and farm workers. This program allows individuals to access 9 sessions of counselling services at no cost. Tracy also is the Co-lead for the Centre for Critical Studies of Rural Mental Health at Brandon University. Tracy shares a bit about her work in this role, including launching a new study called, “What Works” which is focusing on what is working for farmers to handle stress, or those tools in their “toolbox” that help with their mental health. Tracy is hoping to have results from this study available in the Spring of 2027. We chat about the “Deep Rooted” Documentary, a Film by Kyle McDonnell and about the status of mental health in Canadian Agriculture. “Deep Rooted” is a 33 minute documentary featuring four Canadian farmers and ranchers who share their mental health struggles, as well as several mental health experts who talk on the topic. It is discussed that the rate of suicide is 20-30% higher among farmers and ranchers in Canada than that of the rest of the population. We have talked about mental health in agriculture previously on the podcast, and often we talk about the stigma and shame associated with mental health challenges. We discuss whether the stigma in agriculture is changing and what we can do each day to help reduce the stigma. If you or someone you know is struggling with your mental health, please reach out to a friend, a counsellor or visit one of these websites to access resources. Without the farmer, there is no farm.

    Manitoba Pasture Forage and Water Quality Survey with Kristen Bouchard Teasdale (MB Ag)

    Kristen brings a lifelong passion for agriculture to her role as Manitoba Agriculture’s Livestock and Forage Extension Specialist in Beausejour. Before stepping into extension work, she supported producers as a Livestock Nutritionist and as an Environmental Farm Plan Program Officer. She holds both an Animal Science degree and a Master of Agriculture from the University of Manitoba. Growing up on a cow‑calf farm in the Interlake shaped Kristen’s love for the industry, and she still lends a hand on the family farm whenever she can. These days, she balances her professional life with the joyful chaos of raising two daughters—often found shuttling them between activities. In today's episode, Kristen shares the ins and outs of the Manitoba Pasture Forage and Water Quality Survey. To start with, we talk about the history of the Pasture Forage and Water Survey Conducted by MB Ag, and where the idea for this survey began. The survey addressed declining water quality in dry regions of the province and some of the subsequent impacts that low water levels have on cattle and cattle performance. Kristen shares some of these impacts with us, as well as what was noticed between the years studied. Kristen shares information about the water quality testing first. This conversation includes what the testing encompassed, some of the biggest impacts to water quality, sulphate levels and their impact on copper availability. We also talk about some of the best management practices that helped maintain or improve water quality. Turning to the forage side of the survey, we chat about the testing of forage and what it was tested for, as well as any surprising results from the forage survey. We wrap up with talking about what this survey concludes for producers and why this information is important to share.

    Prairie and Ontario Cover Crop Survey & Research with Callum Morrison

    Callum Morrison is a Crop Production Specialist with Manitoba Agriculture, serving the Central Region. Originally from Scotland, Callum moved to Canada in 2017 and brings an international perspective to prairie crop production. He works closely with producers on agronomy, crop management, and applied research to support profitable and sustainable farming systems. In 2020, Callum conducted the Prairie Cover Crop Survey, helping capture early adoption trends and on-farm experiences, and he is currently leading a follow-up survey five years on to assess how cover crop use has evolved. In addition to his role with Manitoba Agriculture, Callum farms near Altona, Manitoba with his partner and black Labrador, Bobby.” Today we are chatting with Callum about cover crops and the Prairie Cover Crop Survey. Callum shares about his role and regular tasks with Manitoba Agriculture and shares some information about what cover crops are and some of the benefits they provide. The Prairie Cover Crop Survey was conducted in 2020 and is being offered a second time this year. This allows Callum and his team to see what changes have occurred to cover crop implementation in the Prairies and Ontario, including challenges and benefits producers are seeing in regards to cover crop use, and why producers have started or stopped using cover crops on their land, if this change has been made. We chat about who is eligible, and why this research is important to share. The deadline to complete the survey is March 31st, 2026. Callum hopes to have the results of the survey compiled and ready to share by the fall of 2026. To participate in the survey, you can head over to: https://gfo.ca/cover-crop-survey/ To find the results of the 202 survey, you can visit: https://umanitoba.ca/agricultural-food-sciences/sites/agricultural-food-sciences/files/2021-10/2020-prairie-cover-crop-survey-report.pdf To contact Callum, please email him at callum.morrison@gov.mb.ca or call him at 1-431-344-0133.

    MBFI’s Approaches to Annual Cropping for Livestock Feed with Dr. Mary-Jane Orr

    In today’s episode, we chat with Mary-Jane about upcoming events and projects that are coming to MBFI in 2026 and then we move into a discussion about the different annual forage production approaches used in the 2025 growing season. Our discussion also touched on the multiyear MBFI Cropping Project that is looking at using annual forage intercrops to build soil health. This project was discussed in Episode #40 all the way back in September of 2023. This episode looks at the 4-5 approaches MBFI uses to grow forages. As we dig in, we examine yield data, feed quality results, the impact of soil variability to MBFI’s crop trials and the impact fertility has had in the trial plots. Much of this information is looking at the differences between monocrops and polycrop trials implemented at MBFI. Mary-Jane also talks about some of the biggest challenges in implementing cropping trials and have she and the MBFI team have worked to either overcome these or switch the focus of the project to work within their parameters and context. We would like to take a moment to thank Imperial Seeds, FP Genetics, Northstar Seeds, and Secan who have been project sponsors for the 2025 project year.
