President’s Message
A Busy Summer
By Gary Fuchs, NALF president
Welcome to the 2018
Herd Reference Issue of
LIMOUSIN TODAY. sponsors that have dedicated
time and resources to the
success of the 2018 Congress.
I hope that this writing finds
each of you enjoying the
changing season to summer.
This should be an enjoyable
time for each of us as our
pastures have mostly turned
green and our calves are starting
to develop some character. We are also in the middle of
a significant part of the show
season for our juniors. The
regional shows have probably
all been held by the time
you get this issue and the
expectations are for a wonderful
event at the National Junior
show and All-American Futurity
in Denver. I send my best
wishes to each of you for your
successful participation in the
shows and for safe travels to and
from the shows. The time that is
spent by adult leaders, parents
and our juniors in the show ring
is very important to the success
and growth of our breed.
This season of this year is
exciting for the Limousin
breeders in the United States for
a variety of reasons, especially
this year as the Denver hosts
the 2018 International Limousin
Congress. I hope that many
of you have considered the
opportunity to attend some
of the events that are held as
a part of the gathering. I also
want to express my thanks
to the many breeders and

The NALF Board of Directors
will meet again, August 22-24,
in Denver. I look forward to
another productive meeting.
I encourage each of you to
contact a member of the board
or NALF staff if you have an
item that needs to be discussed
within the appropriate
committee prior to the board
meeting. I appreciate the time
and dedication each member
of the board and staff place
into making our meetings
and organization operate
as efficiently as possible.
I hope that each of us can
work together to improve our
cattle and generate greater
excitement in the cattle industry
for Limousin Genetics.
I look forward to visiting
with many of you during the
events of this summer. I
