Call for Breeding Pasture

Breeding Pasture

Call for Expressions of Interest

RM of Excelsior No. 166

The RM of Excelsior No. 166 is accepting Expressions of Interest for the Breeding Pasture.  The number allotted per patron is 15 cow/calf pairs, however, the final number may alter in a future year as it is determined by the amount of grass in the pasture.  The cost to buy-in is $3,795.00            which is followed by an annual breeding/maintenance fee of approximately $100.00 per cow.  The $3,795.00 is payable this year only and would be due once you have been informed that you have been accepted.  The annual breeding/maintenance fee is due each year and is payable before the first take-in day.

Pasture fees for 2025 are $1.50 per day for the cow/calf pair.  There is also a charge of $10 per animal as contribution to the Livestock Insurance fund to cover losses.

Please note:  All livestock must be branded prior to being brought to the pasture.  The Expressions of Interest are only for ratepayers within the RM.

If you are interested in the breeding pasture and are prepared to buy-in at this rate, please provide your name to the RM Office prior to 12:00 noon on May 30, 2025.  Take-in day is Monday, June 2, 2025.  A copy of the regulations is available by contacting the RM Office by e-mail at rm166@sasktel.net or by calling 306-784-3121.

 

 

Train Blocking Crossing?

Is a train blocking a crossing for more than five minutes? Call the CP number found on the yellow sticker on the warning system.  You should also send a note to PNRWebRPN@tc.gc.ca which is Transport Canada. Information that is important is the date, time, rail car number, locomotive number. Video evidence is also a good thing. Trains must be fully stopped for five minutes or more before you report it.

Dust Control

Ratepayers are reminded that putting their own dust suppressant on RM roads is not permitted.  Please contact the RM Office for further information regarding the cost sharing program for dust control.
