President’s Message

by Bruce Lawrence

Iwould like to start out by wishing everyone a Happy & Healthy New Year!

Next, I would like to thank my fellow board members for allowing me to serve as your president of the North American Limousin Association. I have enjoyed working with both the board and staff to help grow our breed while making the most of the ever-evolving changes in technology tools that are available to make Limousin cattle and breeders even more competitive in the commercial seedstock industry.

I feel that with the distractions that have come along in 2022 in the beef cattle industry and our economy, our staff and board have made good decisions keeping our financial position in check as much as possible, but still keeping most all of our breed improvement projects moving forward into the coming year.

I would also like to take this opportunity to encourage each of you to consider spending a portion of your budget to genomically enhance all of your replacement females. I really think each of you would see quicker advancement of your performance information and in turn help you become more competitive in the seedstock industry as the Limousin breed strives to penetrate the commercial seedstock industry with Limousin and Lim-Flex genetics.

Next, I would like to invite everyone to attend our annual meeting along with the National Sale and the Ken Holloway Genetics On Ice Benefit Auction at the Cattlemen’s Congress held in Oklahoma City. Be sure to make plans to attend the Limousin and Lim-Flex pen shows as well as both the Open and Junior Shows while you are in Oklahoma City and Denver. I know this is a busy time for everyone, but the comradery that is built with fellow breeders at these events helps set the tone for our Spring Sale season.

Once again, I wish each and every one of you a Happy & Prosperous New Year!
