BY R.Et, MCKINLEY, M.P.
Because of the, unsettled situation in the cattle in-
dustry the " following comments may be helpful to
producers.
Canada's cattle and beef global quotas have now
been official policy since last August 12, and the U.S.
retaliatory quptas started on,November 16. •
Light weight fat cattle (mostly heifers) under 700 lbs.
can enter Canada legally and are not subject to our
quota,,Our cattle feeders are very 'critical of this item
as it has been a depressing factor on our fat cattle
market. •
A., 5 percent tolerance in this 700 lb. weight range had
been permitted but this has now been eliminated after
protests were made •
All imported' silaughter cattle, "regardless Of weight

certification policy. c,;
