Livestock drought recovery support has been expanded!

• Beaver County is now included in the Canada-Alberta Drought Livestock Assistance initiative.
• The deadline for submissions has also been extended from January 15 to February 22.

Livestock producers in eligible regions who altered their usual grazing practices due to drought conditions for more than 21 days this season can apply for financial support to cover losses incurred to manage and maintain female breeding animals such as cattle, bison, horses, elk, sheep, goats, alpacas, yak, musk ox, deer, water buffalo and llamas. A minimum of 15 animals per type of livestock are required to qualify.
