Approval sought for slaughter of 620,000 cattle
Some Canadian beef producers want the federal agriculture minister to approve a mass slaughter of 620,000 cattle.
Terry Hildebrandt, the president of the Agricultural Producers Association of Saskatchewan, says the size of the Canadian herd needs to be reduced by 12 per cent immediately to prevent further damage to the sagging beef industry.
Hildebrandt says the cull is necessary so cattle producers "don't compound the situation in the future by having these cows (continuing) into the breeding program."
