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 more than $ 17,500 of scholarships annually to juniors . The remainder of the proceeds help fund the juniors ’ annual operating budget .
“ Ken was one of those people you wanted on your side . His love for young people in agriculture and the future of the Limousin breed did not go unnoticed . We are forever grateful for his time and contributions to the junior program ,” stated Shelby Hubbard , NALJA president .
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 .
Ken Holloway will never be forgotten , and his legacy will continue to live on as we continue to develop leaders in the Limousin breed and the cattle industry .
