Sioux Falls to Host 2008 National Junior Limousin Show

The Limousin breed will head north for its 2008 “Trail to Excellence” National Junior Limousin Show and Congress (NJLSC).

The W.H. Lyon Fairgrounds and the Sheraton Sioux Falls and Convention Center in Sioux Falls, S.D., will host the NJLSC July 13–18, 2008. The six-day, family-oriented event will include membership meetings, cattle shows, showmanship competitions and a variety of satellite events. It all helps young Limousin enthusiasts have fun while they learn about the beef industry, public speaking, marketing and leadership.

More than 200 exhibitors and their families (600 to 800 people total) will bring about 400 head of cattle to the event. The concluding awards banquet will recognize participants’ achievements.

The purpose of the North American Limousin Junior Association (NALJA) and its NJLSC is to develop knowledgeable, motivated beef industry leaders while promoting the Limousin breed through fellowship, leadership and education.

The North American Limousin Foundation (www.nalf.org), headquartered in Centennial, Colo., provides programs and services – including genetic evaluation of 5,000 active sires – to nearly 4,000 members and their commercial customers. The Limousin breed and its Lim‑Flex® hybrid lead the beef industry in muscle-growth efficiency and ideally complement British breeds.
