Helicopter Roundup Aids PFRA Cattle Pastures In Saskatchewan
PFRA uses a helicopter with a variable pitch siren to drive cattle from dense brush into open areas at Meeting Lake and Royal Community Pastures in Saskatchewan. The method, tested on 7,000 head across 110000 acres, reduces hazards of traditional brush roundups. If successful, PFRA may expand to 93 more pastures amid 2.32 million prairie acres grazing over 250000 animals this year.
