He reported income from licence fees at the end of June was modestly above the same period in 1987 and that income for the year would likely be almost identical to 1987. The drought in Western Canada, he said, has resulted in about 25,000 more cows being exported live to the United States, but that cow slaugh- ter levels in Western Canada through April, May and June were virtually unchanged from a year earlier. Sources in Western Canada sug- gest additional cow marketings are cows which would otherwise have been culled this fall. Mr. Hedley reported fed cattle slaughter in Ontario was down 7.5 per cent but was up 2.1 per cent in Western Canada compared to the first six months of 1987. Increased carcass weights have offset lower numbers so that accumulative beef supply is only 2.2 per cent below a year earlier. Mr. Hedley reported live cattle ex- ports to the United States in the first six months of 19 were up by ap- proximately 55,000 head to 177,700 head and that fed cattle exports to the United States represented over 12 per cent of fed cattle production in Canada in the first six, months of 19; . Live cattle ,imports from the United States at the end of June were down 35 per cent from year earlier levels. Booth imports and exports of beef and veal in the first six months of 19 are down approximately 10 per cent from 1987 levels. price of 79,41 and he had sales to 83.25, Sixteen steers consigned by Mur- ray Shiell of RR 3, Wingham averag ing 1239 lbs. sold for an average price of 82.91 with sales to 83.
