OCA has new officers, resolutionsBy Doug Rich The Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association (OCA) passed two new resolutions at their recent annual meeting at Midwest City. OCA members passed a new resolution on beef checkoff enhancement. The resolution states OCA will support the conclusions of the Industry-Wide Beef Checkoff Task Force, which calls for the following: 1. Opportunity to petition for referendum. 2. Producer opportunity to vote for an adjustment of the checkoff rate to $2 per head. 3. Enhancing understanding of the Federation of State Beef Councils. 4. Making the checkoff more inclusive to all industry participants. The second new resolution was proposed by the Beef Production Committee. It states OCA will endeavor to remove the counter productive reference to "fat cattle" from the vocabulary of beef and encourage the use of "fed cattle" instead. The title of this resolution was promptly changed from "fat cattle" to "fed cattle". In other business, Ray Heldermon was elected to his second term as president and Terry Forst was elected as president-elect. Two new vice-presidents were elected for 2008. Kent Moore will be representing the south central district and David Shaw will be representing the southeast district. Also serving as vice-presidents this year are Bob Howard, Jay Bogdahn, Dick Davis and Jack Lawson. Six new directors also were elected. They are Weston Givens, northwest district; Jay Fulton, southwest district; Bryan Yoman, north central district; Troy Shelby, south central district; Watson Langford, northeast district and; J.D. Denton, southeast district. Doug Rich can be reached by phone at 785-749-5304 or by e-mail at richhpj@aol.com. 8/18/08 Date: 8/14/08 Advertisement
