When cattle shipped to the feeder are fat- tened and ready for reshipment, the normal freight rates will apply to all points of destination in Canada.

This includes railway fare, berth and rea- sonable living allowance en route, to purchase carload shipments from western stock yards, western feeder shows, or in the case of purchases from ranches, to the stock yards near= est thereto. The prospective feeder residing in western Canada is entitled to the foregoing privileges on carloads of feeder cattle purchased at his nearest stockyards, or at a feeder show in the western provinces.

In all cases, cattle purchased under this policy of assistance to Canadian cattle feeders in purchasing western cattle are subject to regular freight rates, and the policy is in effect for five months commencing August, 1931. All the policies mentioned relate specifically to the purchase of feeder stock. In addition to these, there are two other policies relating to the movement of females for breeding purposes.

This policy allows for free freight on carloads of approved purebred females from any railway point of loading in Canada, including points in the prairie prov- inces, to any other railway point in the prairie provinces, after having passed tuberculin and blood tests.
