The Rural Voice, 1986-08, Page 35NEWS such terns as "hog kill" and "slaughter calves." The latter sound to some sensitive people as "killing baby cows." Ask livestock men to drop the term "fat cattle" marketed. The name "butcher" call up images of blood and dying, he said. The whole tenor of Daily's ad- dress was that feed dealers, and other industries that depend on the livestock business, cannot afford to stand aside and let others decide their future. OAV DELOITTE ACQUIRES KINGSMOUNT SERVICES Deloitte Haskins and Sells Associates, a national accounting firm, has acquired Kingsmount Financial Services Ltd. of Arva, an agricultural consulting firm which negotiates farm insolvencies. The Kingsmount partners Ron Phillips, who often speaks at farm conferences, Frank Schellenbach and Gord Youlton and the nine other employees will become Deloitte Haskins and Sells staff but will remain in the Kingsmount offices in an Arva shopping plaza. Gerry Wheaton, managing part- ner in Deloitte Haskins and Sells' London office, says the merger will likely make the firm the largest agricultural consulting firm in southwestern Ontario. Deloitte Haskins and Sells opened an agricultural consultancy practice in London in 1980. It was staff from that office which conducted the study of the financial problems facing Bruce County farmers. Wheaton says that Deloitte Haskins and Sells can now provide two major services for farm clients. These include the agricultural appraisal work which staff were already doing and work- ing with farm distress situations, now relying on the expertise that the Kingsmount staff acquired in that firm's significant insolvency practice. Also, by acquiring Kings - mount, the accounting firm will be able to offer farm clients a broader range of accountants, auditing, tax and appraisal services, notes Wheaton. He adds that the Kings - mount staff's expertise in farm financial settlements may also be used at Deloitte Haskins and Sells' offices in Guelph and in Calgary and Edmonton. About 50 per cent of the firm's business in London is now farm-related.CAG HILL & HILL FARMS LTD.
