The time we spend with our Limousin family is special; the banners, trophies and accolades are just icing on the cake.

We congratulate the junior exhibitors and their families who attended this year’s junior nationals in Grand Island, Nebraska. A Texas-sized thanks to the Heartland Association members for their hard work in making the event one for the ages.

A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIVE SECRETARY

2018 TJLA FIELD DAY

Fellow Members and Friends, Recently, Southern Methodist University (SMU) canceled a memorial for victims of the 9/11 terrorist attack citing it might trigger pain or hurtful emotions. Apparently, SMU leaders felt the younger generation lacks the ability to deal with life. Certainly there are some where this is true, however I choose to believe it is a minority. No greater evidence of this can be found in youth livestock programs.

In this issue we recognize these young livestock enthusiasts who competed at the Texas Junior Field Day and National Junior Limousin Show and Congress. From an early age they learn about hard work, being responsible for their animals health and well being. They learn to deal with success as well as disappointment, and make friendships that last a lifetime.

The TLA believes strongly in the junior program as evidenced by the programs such as the Show Heifer of the Year, Lone Star Shoot-Out, Field Day and the scholarships it promotes. The fall show season schedule can be found in this issue, I encourage you to attend one in your area and cheer on these great kids and future leaders.

Plans are under way for TLA’s 2018 activities in Fort Worth during the Stock Show January 26 and 27.

It’s not too early to begin getting ready, as it will be here before you know it.

Sincerely,

Ralph

Best Kept Secret

Like many breeders, we began our journey in the Limousin breed with the purchase of a show heifer for our daughter in 1983. We’ve kept a low profile, however our commitment to the Limousin breed remains strong. Our cowherd numbers 70 head of mainly black and polled females that proudly wear our EDJL prefix. These cows are decedents of females purchased from progressive breeders across America.

We utilize the highest quality AI sires and the best natural service sires. Many of the calves we raise are fed and marketed through our Limousin beef program with direct sales to consumers. We offer herd bulls that meet the need of the commercial cattleman.

We welcome your call or visit

Apache, who came from the Stowers Limousin Texas Tradition Sale, serves as our natural service sire and we couldn’t be more pleased with his offspring. We have a tremendous set of fall-born bulls and heifers, some of which will make show heifers. They all have stunning phenotype and balanced numbers like Apache.
