Saskatchewan Stock Growers seek fire insurance for grassland

Livestock producers dealt with several serious issues during the recent annual Saskatchewan Stock Growers convention in Regina.
 
The SSGA’s membership passed a series of resolutions.
 
The resolutions call upon the Saskatchewan government to offer fire insurance for grass.
 
As well, there is a request for the province to permit a licensed hunt of cougars in response to some animals threatening livestock.
 
There’s also a call to review policies on taxing land made unproductive by large-scale flooding and to retain the existing fuel tax exemption.

Video: Not always sunshine & lollipops working with cattle!

Doing vaccinations when life happens. It is not always rosy working with cattle or any livestock. Including people and dogs, ha aha. But in the end, it all came together, even after pushing the 5 cattle that got out due to me not having the head gate closed properly... twice! Finn worked pretty good bringing them up, Munch would not stay out as you could hear. He is a bit too young and wants to be with his people all the time.
