Beef stabilization criteria explained
The Canada -Ontario 1985 Stab-
ilization Plan for Slaughter Cattle
Producers will make payment on
beef slaughter cattle marketed in
Quarter 2 (April 1 - June 1) and
Quarter 3 (July 1- Sept. 30) of 1985.
The basis for the Ontario grant is
the pounds gained while owned by
the applicant, while on feed in
Ontario, and sold by the applicant
as beef slaughter cattle.
The following eligibility criteria
apply to beef slaughter cattle:
• minimum live weight is 565
pounds when sold for slaughter;
• graded A, B, or C, or were sold at
prices equivalent to animals grad-
ing (A,B, or C;)
• fed in Ontario by an Ontario
resident;
• owned for a minimum of 60 days
by the applicant.
The poundage eligible for a
grant is the difference between: 1)
the live selling weight of 1,300
pounds, whicheverislesser; and 2)
the live weight at the time of
purchase of 475 pounds, whichever
is greater.
Proof of slaughter is required for
heifers weighing less than 900
pounds and steers weighing less
than 1,000 pounds. A sales docu-
ment indicating purchase by a
packer is acceptable proof of
slaughter. 1,000,000 pounds of
gain by a production unit is the
maximum poundage eligible for a
grant.
The Ontario grants are 4.6 cents
per pound gained on beef slaught-
er cattle sold from April 1, 1985 to
June 30, 1985 and 10.3 cents per
pounds on sales from July 1, 1985
to September 30, 1985.
The Federal Stabilization pay-
ment is based on total live weight
sold. The payment is 2.52 cents per
pounds of slaughter cattle sold
from July 1, 1985 to September 30,
1985. The maximum number of
beef slaughter cattle eligible for a
federal payment is 2,000. One
application form will cover both the
Federal and Provincial programs
and one cheque will be issued. The
final application date for the Beef
Slaughter Cattle Plan is March 31,
1986.
