Agriculture Minister David Marit announced $70 million dollars for livestock producers dealing with the drought and the increasing cost of buying and transporting feed while trying to maintain their herd.

Funding will be delivered through the Saskatchewan Crop Insurance Corporation and allows eligible producers to receive up to $80 per head to maintain breeding stock.

Marit says it's pretty well covered in this one they did all breeding stock including bulls and replacement heifers.

"Virtually the same as we did in 2021, only this time we also included horses and we included cervids as well."
