We would like to sincerely Thank all our customers.
CLA Office Update BY TESSA VERBEEK What a tremendous year the Limousin breed has had! 2017 will forever be remembered in Canadian Limousin history thanks to Greenwood Canadian Impact ET owned by Greenwood Limousin & Angus and Nordal Limousin & Angus winning the Supreme Bull title at both Farmfair International and Canadian Western Agribition! Thank you to these operations, and ALL of the Limousin breeders who have made the breed what it is today! The National Limousin Show and Sale at Farmfair International was another highlight of the fall. Thank you to the Alberta Limousin Association for hosting the National Show and Sale this year. Special thanks to all of the exhibitors who attended, consigners and buyers in the National Sale and to the many volunteers and sponsors who contributed to making this a successful event. The Limousin breed was well represented throughout the summer and fall at shows across the country. The breeding decisions, management, hard work and investment that has gone into taking these cattle out to shows to represent the Limousin breed is appreciated. Limousin excelled beyond the show ring this fall as Limousin calves topped the fall feeder sales consistently across the country, well above CanFax averages. We are tremendously pleased to assist commercial producers in marketing their Limousin influence calves – contact the CLA to learn more. If you have not done so already, now is the time to finish registering your 2017 calf crop and get your weaning weights recorded. For those of you scanning your cattle this winter please remember that weaning weights must be entered before ultrasound results can be recorded. In October, the CLA announced that we will be providing registry services for the Canadian Shorthorn Association beginning in 2018 when the Canadian Shorthorn Association transitions to DigitalBeef as their registry program. This arrangement is limited to registry services only, and the CLA will not be providing any management or promotional services to the Canadian Shorthorn Association. The Canadian Limousin Association remains committed to our CLA membership and looks forward to providing the same excellent level of registry and member services to the members of the Canadian Shorthorn Association. Bull sale season is just around the corner, and as always, the CLA is here to assist you with tools to help you have a successful sale. - The CLA General Manager will attend your sale at your request and your expense. If you would like for me to
attend your bull sale this years, please contact me early. - Spring 2017 EPDs and breed averages will be available on DigitalBeef and on the CLA website in January. - Catalogue downloads may be requested from the CLA to obtain pedigree and EPD information on sale cattle in an Excel document. We require an Excel file with only the registration numbers, not the tattoos, of cattle in the sale. There is a $1.50/head charge for this service. - A mailing address list can be obtained from the CLA for $150, additionally the CLA can send an e-blast about your sale for $100 (you must provide all content/graphics). - The CLA is pleased to post your sale catalogue and information about your sale on the CLA website as well as on our Facebook page. Please send a link to your catalogue to tverbeek@limousin.com to ensure it gets posted. - A gift certificate for Limousin branded CCIA tags can be given to your Limousin bull buyers to purchase a bag of tags at your expense as a thank you for purchasing a bull. You can download this off the CLA website or contact tverbeek@limousin.com to be sent a digital copy you can print. - The CLA has a Limousin CCIA tag advertisement that can be used in your bull sale catalogue or otherwise to explain and promote the tag program to your commercial buyers. We have also developed a “Tag Supporter” logo that can easily be added to your sale catalogue or website. Contact tverbeek@limousin.com to receive a digital copy of either. - Please remember that only Limousin cattle that contain between 37.5% and 75% Limousin blood and 25% to 62.5% Black Angus or Red Angus blood, may be called Lim-Flex. Cattle that fall outside of these parameters should be described as Percentage Limousin in sales catalogues, not Lim-Flex. - Last but not least, please remember to complete DNA testing for animals that require it well in advance of your sale. Beginning in 2018 the following turnaround times will be anticipated: basic SNP parentage verification and Protoporphyria testing turnaround 10-15 days. Low and high density genotyping turnaround 25 days. Horned/ polled and coat colour testing turnaround 20 days. Whole Herd Enrolment (WHE) Deadline January 15, 2018 Information concerning your 2018 WHE has now been mailed to all members. If you are an online user we remind you that you will not have received any paper forms for your inventory. Please remember that Whole Herd Enrolment is due no later than January 15, 2017. Online users may find instructions on how to post their inventory on our website under DigitalBeef.

On behalf of myself, your CLA Board of Directors and staff, we thank you for your continued commitment to the Limousin breed in your local area, your province and nationally. Whether you are involved in the Limousin breed as a seedstock breeder, a commercial bull buyer, or are an up and coming junior, the CLA is here to provide the tools for you to be successful. We thank you all for the contribution you have made to the enthusiasm for the Limousin breed in Canada as we head into the New Year! Best wishes for a wonderful Christmas with family and friends and all the best in 2018! Kindest regards, Tessa Verbeek CLA General Manager
