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.

Under the direction of the SCA Executive, SCA will be publishing a job posting at SaskJobs.ca. 
 
Ryder will commence his work with CCA on September 1, 2022.

Dr. Troy Rowan sits down with CLEAR Conversations host, Tracy Sellers. Dr. Rowan was a featured speaker at the 2025 State of the Science Summit at UC Davis. The event will return next year on June 16-18, 2026, continuing its focus on advancing livestock methane research and collaborative solutions.

Rowan, now an assistant professor at the University of Tennessee Institute of Agriculture, grew up surrounded by cattle on his family’s Charolais operation in Iowa. His family has been farming and ranching there for more than a century — long enough for the rhythms of agriculture to get in his blood.
