Sweepstakes Points Tallied at National Junior Limousin Show

Cassidy Woodard of Calhan, Colo., won the participation sweepstakes at the National Junior Limousin Show and Congress (NJLSC) in West Monroe, La., July 22–28. The 17-year-old participated in the Intermediate Division photography and sales-talk competitions, was an Intermediate Division showmanship finalist, and competed on a senior quiz-bowl team. She led the Class 16 winner in the bred-and-owned female show and the Class 13 winner in the owned-female show. She also became a member of the North American Limousin Junior Association (NALJA) Board of Directors.

Rounding out this year’s “top 10” were Sarah Johnson, Williamsport, Ohio, second; Emily Griffiths, Kendallville, Ind., third; Katelyn Smith, Stephenville, Texas, fourth; Katie Crow, Leslie, Ark., and Kendall Harsh, Crescent, Okla., tied for fifth; Eric Birkner, Solgohachia, Ark., sixth; Hillary Henson, Gentry, Ark., seventh; Blair Davis, Brownwood, Texas, eighth; Ty Ladner, Picayune, Miss., ninth; and Nathan Hicks, Midway, Ky., tenth.

Oklahoma won the team sweepstakes, followed by Texas, then Arkansas.

Individuals earn sweepstakes points by exhibiting animals, qualifying for the showmanship finals, and participating in the sales-talk and photography competitions. State teams gather points from herdsmanship, a group class in the cattle show, the Limousin Beef Cook-Off and the sales-talk competition.

The North American Limousin Foundation (www.nalf.org), headquartered in Centennial, Colo., provides programs and services – including genetic evaluation of 5,000 active sires – to nearly 4,000 members and their commercial customers. The Limousin breed and its Lim‑Flex® hybrid lead the beef industry in muscle-growth efficiency and ideally complement British breeds.
