FALL 2012 SNAP SHOT --BEEF CATTLE PICTURE IN SASKATCHEWAN

[ASRG]

Sadie: Just a question? How is the PFRA pasture thing working out?

[SADIE]

ASRG---Meetings in Oct/Nov after take-out. Just read the SCA jounal on the pasture story. There is potential to keep in the hands of the patrons. Looking for models to follow. Possible long term lease remains with province but what to do with the FEDERAL improvements to the pasture.

I am presently in two PFRA pastures. One is 42 miles away and the other is 20. I see a chance to re-structure our levels over to the closer pasture situation. ALAS I have both a son & a daughter both with there own careers (civil engineer & Nurse) seeing a chance to start a process to re-connect to the rural life. Possibly a new-generation in the business!!
