On colonies different kinds of farm animals and poultry are raised, such as hogs, cattle, broilers, geese and ducks. Hogs are usually raised in disease-free barns. Most barns have five different parts, the sow barn, gestation barn, farrowing barn, weanling barn, and the finisher barn.
Some colonies have dairy barns with quotas.
Quotas mean that you are only allowed to sell a government-specified amount of milk. Some colonies, mostly in Saskatchewan and Alberta, are into cattle ranching. Poultry like chickens, turkeys, geese, broilers and ducks are also raised by many colonies. Your suggestions and comments are important to us. Please respond by e- mail .
