C J L A RE P ORT Submitted By Naomi Best The Canadian Junior Limousin Association (CJLA) board of directors met in Ontario on the weekend of January the 12th for their annual Board of Directors meeting. Seven out of ten board members participated in person or on the call where there was great discussion relating to the upcoming CJLA Impact Show. There was also discussion about a new CJLA logo as well as an online CJLA merchandise store.

Angus Smyth, Kaitlyn Davey, Sam Kennedy, Connor Rodger, Jackie Wismer and Laura Ecklund also participated in the Ontario Commercial Cattle Tour.

They toured a variety of feedlots, Smart Limousin and attended the Ontario Cattle Feeder’s Convention.

Plans are well underway for the 2018 CJLA Impact Show and CLA Annual General Meeting to be held August 1-4, 2018 in Great Village, Nova Scotia at

Balamore Farms Ltd. We are eagerly anticipating this to be one of the largest Impact Shows in recent years and a fantastic opportunity for junior Limousin members to socialize and enjoy the East Coast!

Sponsorship opportunities are available for the show, please contact Joe and Carolyn Cooper for more information. A block of hotel rooms is booked at the Holiday Inn Hotel & Conference Centre in Truro, Nova Scotia. Please make plans to join us for what is sure to be an exceptional Limousin gathering!

The National Junior Limousin Show “Christmas in July” is being held in Denver, Colorado July 14-20th, 2018. The CJLA board is in the preliminary stages of organizing a group of CJLA members to attend the show. If you are interested in more information, please contact Laura at cjla@limousin.com Also, a reminder that we still have tickets for sale for the 2018 CJLA Impact Show clothing.

BLAST FROM THE PAST

48 hours out follow the Morton tender quick instructions and brine for 24 hours. The only deviation is add in equal part of brown/ demerara sugar to mortons and add 1/2 portion spice below.

24 hours out rinse the skirt steak and pat dry. Rub heavily with homemade Montreal seasoning. Wrap in saran with extra seasoning.

Refrigerate for 24hrs.

Smoke at 80-105F for 3 hours. If available you can cold smoke for a longer period. Oak is one of the best flavours in my opinion but you can also use hickory or your preferred hardwood.

Cooking options: Once it is smoked you can grill at 450F for 3-5 minutes per side depending on preference. Cut across the grain for best serving. or Slice like bacon and fry up some beef bacon! It is a much leaner option, and easy to make.

Always look ing for submissions to this sec tion.

If you have something to contribute please for ward your old MLA pic tures to info@cherwaylimousin.ca

Montreal style seasoning: 2 tablespoons paprika 2 tablespoons crushed black pepper 2 tablespoons kosher salt 1 tablespoon granulated garlic 1 tablespoon granulated onion 1 tablespoon crushed coriander 1 tablespoon crushed red pepper flakes For best results roast the black pepper and coriander seeds before grinding to release more flavour. You can make this in bigger batches just keep the ratios the same.

Thats it!

LIMOUSIN FOOTRPRINTS Stay warm, Spring is just around the corner!

THREE SIMPLE RULES IN LIFE 1. If you do not go after what you want you’ll never have it.

2. If you do not ask, the answer will always be no.

3. If you do not step FORWARD, you will ALWAYS be in the same place.

Special occasions, Limousin Family notices, birthdays, anniversaries, engagements, graduations or noted accomplishments are welcomed.

Expected Progeny Differences (EPD’s) Expected progeny differences (EPDs) are important tools in making selection decisions for your herd. EPDs are run twice a year (Fall and Spring) in the National Cattle Evaluation (NCE) with interim calculations performed between runs. To learn more about the new base for Canadian Limousin EPDs please read the following info sheet: Understanding the Base for Canadian Limousin EPDs You can search individual animals on the Canadian Limousin Association Digital Beef site at cla.digitalbeef.com to view their current EPDs and compare them against the current breed averages for specific traits depending on your breeding goals.
