MELFORT, Sask. – A producer from Kyle, Sask. is the new chair of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association.

Keith Day, who represents District 3B, said it’s an honour to be heading up the board of directors.

“I know I have some big shoes to fill following Arnold Balicki, but I look forward to working hard on behalf of our producers,” Day said. “The industry has many challenges, but we have a strong working relationship with the provincial government and Minister Marit, so I believe we will be able to address the issues in a way that benefits our producers.”

Rounding out the executive will be past chair Arnold Balicki from Shellbrook, vice chair Chad Ross from Estevan, finance chair Kyle Hebert from Wawota, and Garret Poletz, member at large from Biggar.

Balicki said his time with the SCA was a busy one

The SCA also welcomed new board member Wade Beck from Milestone, replacing Leigh Rosengren in district 2. Leon Lueke from Humboldt was previously voted in as the district 8 director.

The elections were held at the SCA annual general meeting that was held in conjunction with the Saskatchewan Beef Industry Conference in Saskatoon this week.
