Fall district meetings for the Sask-atchewan Cattlemen’s Association begin next week, and an election will be held in just one region.

The SCA represents all Saskatchewan producers who pay the provincial levy when they market their cattle.

The terms for directors in districts 2, 3B, 5, 7 and 9A were all up this fall.

Returning incumbents are Levi Hull in District 5, Paula Larson in District 7 and Arnold Balicki in District 9A.

In District 2, Philip Lynn decided not to seek re-election after one term. Joe Jackson of Moose Jaw was the only candidate nominated to replace him.
