NEW LIVE LAMB
GRADER RATES
The District 2 Sheep Club has nego-
tiated new rates that will be charged to
all sheep producers in Grey and Bruce
counties for live -lamb grading services.
Effective April 1, 1990, grading will
be $50 for the first hour on the farm and
$20 for each additional half hour.
Incentive grants are available to
those enrolled in the sheep development
program of Red Meat II. Producers who
qualify will receive $3 per inspected
lamb graded by approved live lamb
graders, until March 31, 1992. Now all
classes of lambs, from 45 to 130 pounds,
will be graded under this program, ex-
cept medium and common lambs and
feeder lambs.
Approved live lamb graders for
District 2 are: Kathy Velocci, 519-353-
5530 (Bruce County, Grey west of Hwy.
6); Neil Metheral, 705-466-2169 (most
of Grey); and Dirk Randeraad, 519-941-
5014 (Proton, Egremont, and Nor-
manby townships).
The live lamb grading program will
assist producers in developing an
awareness of properly finished lambs.
Graded lambs, paint -branded by the
grader, will enable buyers to identify
those of superior quality readily.
The weighperson rates have been
harmonized for Grey and Bruce coun-
ties. The first hour on the farm will cost
the producer $35 and subsequent half
hours $5. For details, contact your
OMAF office.ODon Brough

SUPER ALL TRACTION
TRACTOR TIRES
Long bar/long bar
design offers more
uniformly stable tread
bars for less squirm
and longer wear. More
even wear means a
smoother ride with less
vibration over the life
of the tire.
Because short bars
are not as stable as
long bars, they
squirm more and
wear faster.
Irregular wear leads
to increased problems
with ride and
vibrations.
