A slaughter cow support program runs Nov 16 1974 to Apr 30 1975, paying $3.21 per hundredweight if average price in Toronto Winnipeg Calgary falls below $23.21. Farmers can claim for cows sold in specified windows, with limits on monthly or total percentages, and must save sale invoices or apply through Agriculture Canada.
