LIMOUSIN TODAY August 2017 | Page 41

Junior Perspective and basket raffle tickets I sold helped me gain the courage to apply for the junior board of directors, not a purple banner. This breed has given me so much more than a belt buckle. This breed has given me the opportunity to meet new people and experience this life with others that share a common bond. This breed has allowed me to develop and expand my communication skills, celebrate wins and losses, and learn the art of working as a team, even though we are all competing for the same prize. The people of this breed have shown me sincere compassion and love, and given me some of the best memories to share with my own children one day. It’s always been about the Limousin breed as a whole that has given me some of my best friends in the world and a second family that will always have my back, it’s not about the banner. I Performance Is Our Trademark For nearly 50 years, we’ve developed our Limousin and Lim-Flex cow herd by using strict performance standards and following a few simple rules. . . 1. A cow has to calve by herself, first time, every time 2. A cow has to get pregnant every year This five-year-old, polled, Master BRUN Bullion daughter ranks in the top 3% of the breed for both weaning and yearling weight EPDs. She has an outstanding, black, polled, March heifer calf at side sired by AUTO Red Dirt 118Y. 3. A cow has to raise a calf good enough to sell as breeding stock 4. A cow should work harder for you than you do for her Another top producer is this six-year-old, polled daughter of LLR Polled Pension that has a stout March red, polled RR Jock son at her side. Bred Females For Sale Due to space limitations, we’re offering 80 spring bred females for sale at private treaty. All are polled, red and black, both purebred Limousin and Lim-Flex. They will start calving mid-February 2018. Call for details.
