This program is a joint effort of
Sask. Ag. & Food, SERM and the SSDB.
The program is for all livestock
producers in the province. To date we have responded to calls for
the following producers: sheep, goat, beef, swine, turkey, elk &
horse.
At present we have 75 predation
managers located throughout the province. These individuals are
qualified persons who have assisted SERM, Rural Municipalities in
the past, or are long time trappers or coyote hunters. These
individuals need to be recommended to us. The reason being,
producers want results and we need to have experienced people
working for them

Predation Program Steps
|
1. |
Producer who
has a kill or injury, calls the SSDB requesting assistance.
1-877-299-6999 or (306) 933-5200 |
|
2. |
The board
contacts the Predation Manager who will be making the producer
visit. |
|
3. |
The Predation
Manager contacts the Conservation Officer in the region to
make him or her aware of the situation and to receive
permits. |
|
4. |
The Predation
Manager then contacts producer to make arrangements for the
farm visit. |
|
5. |
A farm visit is made and a
producer waiver is signed before work begins. There is a small
risk to the producer and they need to be aware of this. |
Predation Information Links
- In 2004, the American Sheep Industry
(ASI) published a special issue of The Sheep & Goat Research
Journal which focused entirely on predation. There are many
articles in this edition that may be helpful for anyone dealing
with predation or would like to be more proactive about it.
