May Reduce Cattle Rates to Britain Says Deputy Minister
Deputy Minister of Agriculture Dr J Grisdale told the Western Livestock Union that reduced ocean rates for Canadian cattle shipments to Britain are a possibility after recent talks with steamship officials. Any rate cut would hinge on shipper cooperation and could shift profits or losses on exports. He urged expanding the home market and extending trade with Great Britain, noting Britain’s growing appetite for Canadian beef and the need to seize opportunities rather than await U S tariff changes.
