A grant is also offered to farmers who
pre -condition calves before they are ship-
ped. Pre -conditioning includes vaccination,
dehorning and warble treatinent. By pre-
conditioning calves, farmers hope to in-
crease the rate of gain to feedlot operators
and reduce disease and shipping fever.
Emke said farmers who pre -condition
calves often get a better price when the
calves are sold.
••••,
The Red Meat Plan offers similar incen-
tives to socker and slaughter cattlemen.
They are offered grants of $2 per calf, up to a
maximum of $750 per farmer, for recording
the weight gain of animals in their feedlots.
Both groups are entitled to two free forage
analyses. The analyses are designed to help
farmers identify problems with their feed
ration and add supplemental minerals and
protein where needed.
An additional $100 per year is available if
farmers are willing to supply their records
for an annual enterprise analysis. The
confidential analysis will help, farmers
identify the strength_ gend weaknesses in
their individual operations.
Participants are entitled to $100 for herd
health. Emke said this allows the farmer to
consult a veterinarian on general herd
health and ways it can be improved.
"The thrust of the progr. • is getting the
veterinarian to-txtrrie-inrsi, 4.-Freventitive—
basis, rather than being • I in at the last
second as a miracle workef," Emke said.
"He suggested vets could offer advice on
feed rations, and advice on potential pro-
blems before they become critical.
Grants of $1,500 are available for capital
expenditures to farmers who want to im-
prove their handling facilities. Scales, feed-
ing and watering equipment, as well as
material tp improve handling facilities are
covered under the program.
In order to qualify for any of the grants,
producers must sign up before calves are
born or before stocker cattle are purchased.
The government is hoping to expand the
provincial sheep industry through incen-
tives in the Red Meat Development
gram.
The province is still a net importer of
lamb. In an effort to attract more producers
to the industry and encourage other produ-
cers to expand their herds, grants of 50 per
cent, up to a total of $5,000 are being offered
to producers with at least 40 breeding ewes
who wish to expand their capital!acilities.
Handling facilities, fences, scales' and some
buildings are covered under the grant.
Similar grants to cattlemen are also
The higher than expected response to the
program has caused some problems for the
administrators. Emka said some payments
to farmers have been running behind
schedule due to the number of people who
have registered.
Despite the delay, farmers are still lining
to register: Emke suggested_the program,_
is graving, because "farmers already in the,
frogram aregood ambassadors."
"One farmer on a- conemsion registers,
and he tells another farmer. That keeps the
program growing," he said.
