POLAR VORTEX…I don’t think there is 2 uglier words when used together…especially when you are calving!!! And while this POLAR VORTEX is going to be quite short lived, I have seen models that it will be far reaching, even as far South as Florida. I have received a number of urgent messages looking for hoods, overnight. If you are caught calving during this miserable cold, there are a number of retailers that have inventory on hand:

Keddie's Tack & Western Wear Grande Prairie, AB
JEMCO Feeds And Supplies Rimbey, AB
Farmers Depot Cambridge, ONT
J2 Farm Supply Smoky Lake, AB
Cattlemens Corner Nanton, AB
Provost Pets & Livestock Supply Provost, AB
LEDUC FARM ANIMAL HOSPITAL Leduc, AB
Central Alberta Co-op
INTERLAKE VET Ashern, MB
Ranchmans’ Farm & Feed Store - 5705-50 Ave Bonnyville AB
Barr-North Veterinary Services Barrhead, AB
SR Feed & Farm Supply Vegreville, AB
North Peace Veterinary Clinic Fort St John, BC
Westlock Veterinary Center Westlock, AB
Mountainwest Livestock & Supplies Creston, BC
Neerlandia Co-op Neerlandia, AB
New Vision Agro Hague, SK
DK FEED & SUPPLY Clearwater, NE
TK VETERINARY SERVICE Glen Ullin, ND
RBM Livestock Florence, SD
…and there is still some inventory at hand at PEAVEY MARTS across Canada!!!

If you’re not calving yet, this is the time to get some hoods ready to go!!! Visit any of the above retailers or there is not a retailer in your area you can order direct from the website!!!
