Dairy farmer to head AFAC

An organization set up to oversee the care of farm animals within Alberta has appointed a dairy farmer from Rimbey as its new chairman. 

Heini Hehli, who operates a 100-cow dairy herd near the Rimbey Gas Plant, northeast of the town, was elected to replace beef cattle producer Doug Sawyer of Pine Lake. 

Alberta Farm Animal Care, supported by livestock organizations, universities and industry groups, was set up to help promote safe and responsible livestock management and to intervene when problems arise. (Red Deer Advocate, July 18)
