NEW PRESIDENT
FOR OFA
Brigid Pyke, elected president of the
22,000 member Ontario Federation of
Agriculture in 1986, recently an-
nounced her retirement and did not run
for re-election this year at the annual
convention in Toronto in November.
Pyke, who had also been a member
of the OFA executive since 1980, did
not rule out a possible return to farm
politics, but says she will return to the
family's farm on Wolfe Island near
Kingston.
She leaves on a high note, expressing
gratitude for being able to work with the
various constituencies in the agri-food
industry including farmers, govern-
ment officials, OFA members, and other
agricultural leaders.
OFA observers say first vice presi-
dent Roger George is expected to be
acclaimed the new president, while
second vice president Jack Wilkinson
will move up uncontested for first vice
president. An election is expected for
second vice president with several per-
sons vying for the position.0
SHEPHERDS LEARN
TO ASSESS LAMBS
Area shepherds recently had a
chance to assess the quality of lambs
recently at a two-part Ontario Country
Fresh Lamb seminar, sponsored by
District 2 of the Ontario Sheep Market-
ing Agency and OMAF.
At the first part of the seminar held at
the Hutton Transport Yards, Paisley, 20
producers were shown the proper
amount of finish on 10 live lambs by Bill
McCutcheon of OMAF and graded
according to the Canadian Federal Meat
Grading System. The lambs, weighing
from 77 to 125 pounds live -weight,
included a cross-section of breeds,
types, and ages including Southdowns,
Suffolks, Dorsets, and various cross-
breds.
The second part of the seminar took
place at Morris Meats in Cargill where
producers had a chance to compare their
assessment with those of Gord Lyons
