Guys, thanks for coming.
If the government doesn't get this money out there fast, there will be fewer producers left in this country. We're seeing it in eastern Canada--I think in Ontario east. Certainly we're seeing it out west, where the cow-calf operators are leaving in droves. We're seeing bigger feed lots close, to the point that it's beyond belief.
I'm told by producers that right now they're losing $275 to $350 an animal. What are your figures? How much are they losing per animal?
