Great Canadian Cattle Drive Letter Campaign Launch
Beginning today and for four weeks the Medicina Hat News and sister papers across southern Alberta launch a Great Canadian Cattle Drive Letter campaign. The effort urges readers to contact border leaders over the border closure and its impact on cattlemen and the industry. It highlights BSE as causing financial distress with calls for open borders to revive exports and stabilize cash flow, herd size, and slaughter capacity. Local producers Byron and Caroline Terpletor, owners of XTC Herefords near Coaldale, are featured to illustrate industry challenges and the push for government subsidies and low-interest loans. The piece notes nine months since BSE was detected in Alberta, stressing ongoing losses in feedlots and primary cow-calf sectors, and underscores the need for policy change and market access.
