The Ontario Cattlemen's
Association welcomes the an-
nouncement by Agriculture
and Food Minister, Lorne
Henderson that the Ontario
Government' will extend its
emergency assistance pro-
gram by making payments of
$40.00 per cow to Ontario cow
calf operators. Floyd
Dunford, chairman of the
association cow calf commit-
tee said calf prices have
declined this fall by approxi-
mately 15 per cent following a
decline in the fall of 1980 of
approximately 10 per cent

that while the announcement
