JUNIOR SCENE Hello everyone, We are excited and proud to showcase our junior board and what we have been up to the past few months; what is coming up in the future; and what to expect from us. From this snapshot, we hope to keep everyone updated on not only junior board activities, but juniors within the breed as well. We have a very special group of young Limousin enthusiasts on the NALJA board who have been ready from day one to get to work for our juniors and the breed. Not only will you be able to catch a glimpse of what we do, you will also see a few accomplishments that our juniors have sustained, and what they achieve outside of the show ring. We are very excited to be able to share this, and please let us know if you have any questions or comments about the NALJA board and their duties!
