The Federal Government announced the designated and buffer areas for the 2025 Livestock Tax Deferral Program this week.

The Livestock Tax Deferral provision allows livestock producers in prescribed areas, who are forced to sell all or part of their breeding herd due to drought, excess moisture or flooding, to defer a portion of their income from sales until the following tax year.

Numerous items were stolen from the garage of a local residence last week. The Weyburn Police Service are investigating a break and enter in the north end of the city that resulted in the theft of items from both the garage and a vehicle parked inside.

The Weyburn Police Service responded to a traffic collision at the corner of Fifth Street and Prairie Avenue last Tuesday. An investigation was initiated and determined a half-ton truck had failed to stop at a stop sign.  

Deputy Chief Shane St. John says the accident was more severe than similar incidents, as one vehicle required towing from the scene.

The Saskatchewan Ministry of Environment has initiated mandatory testing for chronic wasting disease (CWD) and bovine tuberculosis in select Wildlife Management Zones during this year’s hunting season. 

Hunters harvesting white-tailed deer, mule deer, or elk in Wildlife Management Zones 43, 47, 50, and 55 are required to submit the animals' head to be tested for CWD. Fish and Wildlife Health Biologist with the Ministry of Environment, Erin Moffatt, says this is part of supporting long-term wildlife management, as CWD has been present in Saskatchewan since the early 2000’s.
