Note from the Editor
“Years from now, when the faded ribbons are packed into
boxes, and the trophies are dusty on the shelves, you will
pick up the memories, hold them close, and realize they
are what really mattered.” Whatever your outcome was at
the 2019 National Junior Limousin Show & Congress, the
friendships made will be the memories that last a lifetime.
I remember the long hours in the barns, hard earned money spent
on feed and the tears (and laughs) of trying to earn that purple
ribbon when the summer fair season came around. I remember
the disappointment when I walked out of the ring without even
placing. I remember wondering if all the time, money and tears
were worth it just to place last in a class. But I also remember
walking out of that ring with my family and friends standing there
telling me how proud they were of what I had accomplished.
What had I accomplished?
Statistics
My years in the show ring did
not teach me to win; they
taught me leadership skills,
hard work and that life is not
all about “being the best,” but
about being a better person
through the good and the bad.

I admire my parents for all they
did for me, not so I could just
“show,” but so that I could learn
important life lessons through
showing.
As I sat and watched the National
Junior Limousin Show & Congress, I was taken back to my show days. I remember what I was taught and
loved seeing so many young people work hard to present some of the best Limousin cattle I have seen in
the show ring. I saw families come together and make some great memories that week. Remember, the
memories and life lessons made are worth far more than that banner you received, or you were hoping for.
It was my honor to document all these accomplishments and
memories. If you would like any specific photo or write-up, contact
me. The North American Limousin Foundation also offers free ad
design, so don’t forget to show off your favorite juniors and cattle!
