VIC FALK BUYS CANADIAN
SJO.CK
Vic Folk and son,Vic,returned from an 18
day trip into Canada to buy dairy cows to
augment thoir milk production. Thoy re
turned with 7 Holstoin heifers freshened ’
with first calvos' and one cow which will
have her second calf. All of them are
pure bred.
Vic stated that they found milk cows at a
premium in Canada as they aro here. Due to
the fafft that dairy farms'ope rate on a
milk pool quota in Canada, it is almost
impossible to find dairy cattle for sale.
The milk quota for the year is based on
the production fin who month of October
for the whole 12 months. Should the farm
er fail to moot his quota during the year,
he cannot have his quota raised the next
year. On the other hand, if he exceeds
his qhota during any part of the year, the
excess milk over the quota sells at a low
er rate.
Vic and his son traveled over 2000 miles
and were as far south as Calvary. Thddr
cov;s were purchased, however, from a dairy
farm 5 mile^gouth of Edmonton. After the
purchase was: a lot of rod tape followed.
Five copies of everything had to be made
out. *3.1 this took them an additional 6
days. The trip back by truck took 6 days.
Vic and his son also found out that Tok
junction is not a Port of Entry for Live
stock and here it vras necessary to get a
permit from Washington D.C, in Order to '
bring the livestock into -.'daska. Hovever,
they rrero back in the Valley uith the nou
livestock on Monday November 8th. The covs
made the trip in good shape and are non
comfortably housed'in the nou modem dairy
barn on Vic's farm.
