HONORINGKEN HOLLOWAY
For 37 years , this event has helped raise funds for the National Junior Limousin Show & Congress , NALJA events and the Limi Boosters . $ 60,725 was raised from this benefit auction held during Cattlemen ’ s Congress and Annual Limousin Convention . Thank you to all the donors and buyers for the continued support !
The oversight committee for the All-American Futurity scholarship program and Genetics on Ice Benefit Auction met in April to discuss the renaming of the scholarship program generated out of Genetics on Ice and the Genetics on Ice Benefit Auction itself in honor of Ken Holloway .
Ken Holloway was as dedicated a Limousin breeder as any man could possibly be . That dedication was also extended to his family , fellow breeders , and friends in the cattle business across the country . Ken was also the breed ’ s most dedicated supporter of the North American Limousin Junior Association since its inception . Ken started the Genetics on Ice Program in 1984 to provide the vehicle that not only financed the junior association ’ s activities annually , but additionally helped run the All-American Limousin Futurity until its conclusion in 2020 . The Genetics on Ice Benefit Auction has raised over $ 1.75 million of revenue for the Limousin Junior Association .
Today , thanks to Ken ’ s foresight and passion for juniors in the Limousin breed , the proceeds that previously funded the Limousin Futurity show were diverted to fund over $ 17,500 of scholarships annually to juniors . The remainder of the proceeds help fund the juniors ’ annual operating budget .
As we move forward , the $ 17,500 of annual scholarships awarded at the National Junior Limousin Show & Congress out of the Genetics on Ice allotment will be named the Ken Holloway Memorial Scholarship Awards . The Genetics on Ice benefit auction will be renamed as the Ken Holloway Genetics on Ice Benefit Auction .
