The Saskatchewan Cattlemens Association is just steps away from becoming a formal organization.

The association's interim committee is putting forward their plan to the Agri-food council, and will then await approval from the Agriculture Minister and provincial cabinet. Interim Committee President Jack Hextall says the commitee has been great to work with through the planning process. Hextall adds the organization will work with producers to move the livestock industry ahead in light of the challenges facing the sector.
