This week The Western Producer unveiled its very own cam girl.
Say hello to: The Western Producer Cow Cam. (This is fully family-appropriate viewing and something I’m looking forward to showing to my young daughters.) This cam carries footage of 17 minutes in a day of the life of Raven, a five year old purebred Simmental cow, who lives near Glenwood in Alberta.
The footage was recorded by our editor-in-chief, Barb Glen, and edited by our production section editor, Mike Raine, so you can see that we employed our top people and got some pretty great stuff. It’s up on our website now, at www.producer.com. I particularly like the stuff at the 3:30 mark onwards, when a vaguely menacing group of cows and calves comes into the picture. (Don’t worry – I’m not going to spoil the ending!)

Worrisome drop in grain prices
Prices had been softening for most of the previous month, but heading into the Labour Day long weekend, the price drops were startling.
I’m not sure if Barb actually strapped herself on the back of Raven and held the camera, or if she somehow attached the camera to Raven’s left shoulder in a way neither Raven nor the other bovines would rub off, but it’s pretty cool, detailed stuff. You can really hear the grass being ripped up by those bovine teeth. And the mooing is impressive.
If you’re into action movies, check out the section from about 6:45 to 7:00.
