A LETTER FROM THE Executive Secretary

New Location for 2012 TJLA Field Day

Hello Friends and fellow Limousin enthusiasts, If you are looking for that silver lining in the cloud of economic and drought news, look to the the junior program in Texas. Texas juniors turned out in large numbers at both the State and National shows, and their accomplishments are praise worthy.

Many current breeders became involved in the breed through the junior program, looking at the current crop of juniors, the future looks bright for the Limousin breed. This drought will pass and when it does our breed is positioning itself for positive growth. These young people as future breeders will play a part in that growth.

Mark Anderson Executive Director of the North American Limousin Foundation recently addressed a group�of�TLA members in Abilene. Mark ����� relayed his positive experiences with Limousin genetics in the feed yards and the advantages the breed offers to allow diverse marketing options, Natural programs, Lauras Lean, Strauss Veal, etc. Mark also discussed the importance of Texas to the beef industry in general and the growth of the Limousin breed in particular.

Many breeders are in a survival mode due to conditions out of their control, however it is important to realize there is a bright future for our cattle. Now more than ever it is important to work together to keep our association strong and united towards the common goal of growing our breed.

Sincerely,

Ralph

TJLA advisors Brian Payne, Johnny Smith and Brad Davis discussed requests to change the location of the 2012 Field Day with TLA board president Jay Wilder and TLA board vice president Dr. Scott Stowers. After review the decision was made to hold the 2012 Field Day at the Mallet Event Center in Levelland, Texas. The Mallet Event Center has similar accommodations and costs as the Brazos County Expo Center.

The theme for the 2012 Field Day is Fun in the Sun Texas Style and will be held June 1-3.

Silent Auction Nets $2,805 for Juniors Carole Counsil once again organized a silent auction to benefit the TJLA. The TJLA and TLA would like to thank Carole, and all who donated, made bids or purchases at the auction.

The proceeds went towards paying for the awards which totaled over $3,400.

TLA & TJLA Awards $2,000 in Scholarships The TLA and TJLA presented four graduating seniors with a $500 scholarship at the TJLA awards banquet. Scholarships are made in memory of Gene Rogers, E.J. Bishop, and Matt Ertl.
