Cattle Cull Aid Tied to Goodwill From Slaughterhouses
Agriculture Minister Lyle Vanclief said a $120 million federal aid package for cull cows aims to spur producers to remove older cattle amid the mad cow crisis. Lakeside Packers chief Gary Mickelson backs a fair price for livestock, while critics warn payments after slaughter may not lift producer incomes significantly. The program could reach $320 per cow if all provinces join, but many cows are far from processing plants and the market has collapsed since the BSE outbreak.
