MD of Pincher Creek, Deadstock Pickup & Removal Project
-Updated April 2026-

Bins are for CATTLE ONLY and will be locked or removed after calving season (approximately June).

For all information about using the deadstock bins, including getting a current CFIA permit to transport Specified Risk Material (SRM), please contact the MD of Pincher Creek Agricultural Fieldman, Shane Poulsen, at 403-339-8741 or visit www.watertonbiosphere.com for full program information.

Notes for Bin Usage:

You need to call the Renderer, West Coast Reductions, at 403-328-1336, and let them know that you've dropped off an animal with the corresponding bin number (1 to 6).
No animals other than cattle can be deposited because they will not be removed by the renderers.
Please use ON-FARM PICK-UP for horses, goats, as well as large cows or bulls.
DON’T OVERFILL THE BIN - This helps prevent attracting carnivores.
All cattle carcasses must have a valid CCIA tag affixed to their ear – THIS INCLUDES BORN-DEAD CALVES.
Any cattle tested for BSE with an ABSURV tag must not be placed in the bin until test results have been received by the renderer. Contact West Coast Reduction.
Please complete the log book entirely — in the tube on the side of the bin, it must be filled out completely (with the following):

Date – day, month and year of deposit
CCIA Tag Numbers – Please double check your tag numbers for an exact match
Full name – first and last as shown on your CFIA transport permit. Please do everything possible to have a current CFIA permit before depositing cattle into the bin (if no permit or an outdated permit, please call Shane at 403-339-8741 for help)
