REMINDER TO ALL ONTARIO VEAL PRODUCERS:
The new and
revised regulations that impact the enforcement
of veal carcass weights will come into effect on
October 1st, 2009. Attached is a factsheet
prepared by OMAFRA that was sent to all veal
plants.
From this factsheet you can see the requirements
for processors to have proper weighted
carcasses if they want to market and sell the
carcasses as veal. This same information was
recently published in the Ontario Veal News.
Each veal plant will have to prepare a
protocol
of how they will comply with these regulations.
It is important that you ship proper weighted
calves in order to ensure you maximize the
marketplace and do not get "docked" for
overweight carcasses.
Overweight carcasses become ungraded beef and
will be priced accordingly by the buyer.
If you have any
questions please do not hesitate to call the OVA
office at 519-824-2942
