PFRA pastures

[Horse]

kato No I mean $22 per mo. You have a number and cattle are broughjt in in line with your no First in first out based on 5 mo grass and if pastures dry up or whatever there may be an early pull
You can ether bring a bull or pay a fee to use other guys bulls and there is a bred pasture with a few cleanup bulls. they also have a yearling pasture for 3 mo I think at $14. per mo. Numbers are down last yr but no are down all across the province.

Thank you.

Hate to see it but is it possible a bunch of the PFRA pastures end up in the hands of the big livestock auction companies? They already pay people to custom graze their cattle for the summer. This may be an obvious fit.

Golly what big auction company would be buying community pastures? Increaded grazing costs may remind people of the true value of grazing in a $14 canola market.

I got asked this question last night. Are the PFRA and community pastures full?

Small mixed farms are almost a thing of the past and they used to put a lot of cattle into the pastures. Are the numbers as big as before with big getting bigger and small getting out?
