Hundreds of livestock perished in the wildfires that tore through southwest Saskatchewan earlier this week.
The current estimate, based on reports from veterinarians working directly with producers, is that about 400 livestock died or were euthanized.
“The loss of these animals is very difficult to cope with,” said Grant Zalinko, executive director of the Ministry of Agriculture’s livestock branch.
