Welcome to Butterfield Acres Farm! Calgary’s BEST Farmyard!!

An important Butterfield Acres update:

We acquired twin calves at the end of March, and we have since learned that one of them was carrying a diarrhea-causing parasite common in cattle , cryptosporidium. This is cattle-specific and does not affect other animals. In humans, it can cause diarrhea. The sick calf is no longer with us, and we have disinfected his pen. The twin remains with us as he tested negative and is healthy, but we are keeping him “in quarantine” for the time being.

We are working under the watchful eye of Alberta Health to ensure all the bases are covered (the calf pen disinfected, doubling up on hand-washing signage etc) and will be under a Health Alert for (we expect) the next 1-2weeks, but will remain open.

This is exactly why good handwashing is always important. Please always observe … and teach any children in your life… smart health thinking!
