Cabin owners and recreational users of Lac Pelletier—about half-an-hour south of Swift Current—are upset about a proposed 2,000 head feedlot.

Monette Farms wants to establish the feedlot on land that is in the vicinity of the lake and regional park.

More than 250 people attended a public meeting last Tuesday to voice their concerns. Residents have no issues with a feedlot, but believe this proposal is too close to the water body and also have concerns about potential odours from a year-round intensive livestock operation.

The RM of Lac Pellitier will make the final decision on the proposal, which already also caught the attention of the Progressive Party of Saskatchewan.

CJWW Agriculture Director Neil Billinger spoke to Progressive Conservative Party leader Rose Buscholl and Dan Kane with the Friends of Lac Pelletier.  Both interviews are below:
