From the Field Grand Times In Grand Island By Andy Rest, NALF regional manager Like most people that attended the National Junior Limousin Show and Congress, I left Grand Island, Nebraska feeling very positive about the direction of our breed and the youth that are involved in it. It is really inspiring to see two and three generations of a family working together to accomplish their goal of attending the show and then trying to win a class. Of course, many times first place doesn’t happen, but the life lessons learned are invaluable. To see these young people grow and develop into quality individuals is one of the most rewarding parts of being involved with the Limousin breed. The work ethic and leadership qualities of these young people ensure a bright future, not only for the breed, but our nation. The quality of the cattle at this year’s show was outstanding. Class after class, the judges would comment on the quality that was found. Congratulations to all the class winners, division and reserve division champions, and grand and reserve champions. The showmanship contests might have been even more competitive than the cattle shows.
