LIMOUSIN TODAY December 2017 - January 2018 | Page 12
Executive Summary
Thank You for a Great Year
By Mark Anderson, NALF executive director
Welcome to the December/
January combined issue of
LIMOUSIN TODAY. This Christmas
and National Western issue
has been combined to offer a
more informative and broader
scope issue. It will not only
be available at the NWSS, but
also be utilized for distribution
at the annual convention for
the National Cattleman’s Beef
Association, in February, along
with the February commercial
tabloid issue that Limousin
Today produces and distributes
prior to the beginning of the
Spring bull sale season.
As most of you are aware by
now, the print circulation
of the magazine is being
supplemented digitally
throughout the country. Links
to the magazine issues can be
found on the NALF website
under the “Limousin Media” tab.
NALF will send out an email
blast, to its email list, that will
link to each edition of LIMOUSIN
TODAY after the print issue
is mailed in the country. The
tabloid productions are also
supplemented to the email
addresses that are supplied by
the National Center for Beef
Excellence that has nearly 15,000
additional subscribers of both
seedstock and commercial cattle
operations.
