** HIGHLIGHTS **

The Saskatchewan Court of Appeal has upheld the conviction of a Saskatchewan farmer who was convicted of stealing cattle and making a false or counterfeit mark on cattle contrary to the provisions of the Criminal Code. Ten yearling Simmental heifers owned by a neighbouring farmer, all of which had a yellow dangle tag in one ear, and a radio frequency tag in the other, went missing. The heifers were subsequently found to have been sold by the farmer who was charged. When the heifers were located, they bore his ear tag, but none of the ear tags of the owner. The Court of Appeal agreed that it was "not within the realm of possibility, that all of those tags could have fallen out", and that it was reasonable for the trial Judge to conclude that the farmer who had been charged had removed the tags, and replaced them with his own. (R. v. Deck, CALN/2014-018, [2014] S.J. No. 223, Saskatchewan Court of Appeal)
