The Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association has taken action to help ranchers affected by fire.
A relief fund has been established to help those in the Biggar area where fire raged for days last week.
“Losing 22,000 acres of grass is a devastating setback,” said SSGA president Bill Huber in a news release. “Cattle will have to be fed, which means ranchers will need feed and transportation.”
He said an estimated 120 kilometres of fence have also been destroyed and the replacement cost is about $3,000 per km.
