Following a request from Livestock Identification Services Ltd. (LIS) the Minister of Agriculture and Forestry has increased the cattle inspection fee to $1.50 per head from the current $1.25 per head. This fee increase, the second in 24 years, is supported by all sectors of the cattle industry and remains significantly lower than the neighbouring provinces of British Columbia ($1.80/head) and Saskatchewan ($2.75/head). There will not be an increase to the inspection fees for horses.
LIS will begin charging and collecting the increased inspection fee effective November 1, 2018.
