Two new directors have been elected to the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association.
In District 1, Ryan Beierbach of Whitewood replaces outgoing chair Jack Hextall, who did not seek re-election. He defeated Kevin Woods of Moosomin.
Beierbach is no stranger to cattle politics. He is a director for the Saskatchewan Stock Growers Association and has been the SSGA’s representative to the SCA.
In District 3A, Mark Elford of Wood Mountain defeated incumbent Ryan Thompson of Ceylon. Elford is also a former SSGA director and sits on the board of the Canadian Cattle Identification Agency.
The two will take office after the SCA annual meeting Jan. 19, along with the other directors elected or re-elected by acclamation this fall.
They are: District 4, Rick Toney; District 6, Howard Toews; District 8, Michael Spratt; District 9B, David Stuart.
Spratt of Melfort is the other newcomer to the board. He replaces vice-chair Bruce Holmquist, who did not run again.
