CCA pleased to announce Ryder Lee rejoining organization as new General Manager

Ryder Lee previously worked for the Canadian Cattle Association (CCA) in the Government Affairs office in Ottawa from November 2005 to 2015.  Ryder has served as the Chief Executive Officer of the Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association from 2015 to 2022.

CCA Executive Vice President, Dennis Laycraft, had this to say: “Ryder brings an exceptional range of expertise with a strong industry background, years of work on agriculture policy, and advanced management experience.”

Saskatchewan Cattlemen’s Association (SCA) Chair, Arnold Balicki, is optimistic about the future. “I am a little disappointed to have Ryder move on. But I prefer to focus on his significant contributions to SCA over his tenure. SCA has come a long way on policy, governance, relations with government and others through working with a great strategic plan with his leadership. There is a strong foundation for Ryder’s successor to build on.”

“We wish Ryder and his family all the best,” Balicki concluded.

Video: Season 6, Episode 10: Defining Resiliency and the Research Driving Swine Health Forward

Genetic research and new technologies continue to influence the future of swine health and production efficiency. In this episode, we explore how research and technology are being used to support stronger, more resilient pigs, while also improving overall production outcomes. In this episode, we are joined by Dr. Jenelle Dunkelberger, geneticist with Topigs Norsvin, to discuss both routine and emerging strategies for improving piglet, pig, and sow livability. She outlines two primary approaches to enhancing resiliency: gene editing and traditional selective breeding. Continuing the resiliency conversation, we also hear from Dr. Lucina Galina, director of technical research projects at the Pig Improvement Company. She shares insights into ongoing gene-editing work focused on PRRS, detailing the pathway to success, regulatory and practical considerations, and the questions that still remain as the technology evolves. Together, these conversations provide a closer look at how research, genetics and innovation are shaping the future of swine health and livability.
