Cattle guys

I heard you may only get paid for the cows you have on Dec 31, that would be a kick in the pants.

Combined some oats today that's all they are good for, cattle feed. A strippy gopher started chewing on a few kernels that fell out of the auger hopper, he gave me a dirty look and spit them out

A quick trip to Radville, I saw parched pastures and cows scrounging for any bit of green they could find. Looks like a week of rain could help the cattle guys.

Can use the reciepts for the feed you buy for the cattle you don't have.

Cattle guy says crop insurance administering
The payment but don’t have forms until mid September
So much for immediate help herds will be sold
If you can get into a sale. Then when nothing left
The forms will be available.
What a croc of crap.

The way last winter was and March this spring I took out more sask rainfall insurance on my hay land and pasture land. Probably will not collect in my area or maybe just a bit but do not regret protecting my livestock investments .Wish this program was around in the 80s.

Tic tok. Cows have the thistles and the fence posts left to eat. Cat tails and foxtail are gone. Called a major feed supplier, they said they could get us something in November, price unknown. Should probably haul 3 loads to the auction this week, instead of 1 like last week. Government money is necessary and appreciated but needed to be in our hands 3 weeks ago.

So the federal government has put in 500 million and the provinces 322...but no knows how to get the money flowing...

Interesting to me...because when the pandemic hit , it didn't take this long for the average Canadian, that is still bitching about farmers, to get their money so they didn't lose the house or their job.

Cows still being sold.

Everything the government did is a dollar short and a month late.

Details are sketchy but $40 per ewe in Alberta, would guess SK will be very similar as same amount for cows.

Yeah that’s the assumption I made.

[GDR]

Yeah in the announcement, “more details in the coming days” hasn’t turned out to be very accurate.

We still haven’t heard what the valuation on a ewe is either.
