Voting begins next week for directors in several Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association districts, and there will be at least two new faces at the board table as a result.

Chair Jack Hextall is not running again in District 1.

Two people were nominated to replace him : Kevin Woods of Moosomin and Ryan Beierbach of Whitewood.

Voting will take place Oct. 24 at a meeting in Carlyle.

In District 8, Bruce Holmquist is also not seeking re-election. His replacement is Michael Spratt of Melfort, who was acclaimed when nominations closed.

Also acclaimed were incumbents Rick Toney in District 4, Howard Toews in District 6 and David Stuart in District 9B.

Incumbent Ryan Thompson of Ceylon is being challenged by Mark Elford of Wood Mountain in District 3A.

That vote will be held Oct. 26 in Assiniboia.

Directors in all districts are holding meetings Oct. 24-31 whether an election is required or not.
