Breeders maintain the breed s eye appeal, uniformity, natural thickness and moderate size. Breeders communicate the above need to fellow breeders so that the show ring can fit the industry. Breeders understand the role Limousin play within the industry and utilize the show ring to illustrate that role.
Breeders exhibit the type of cattle that represent their breeding program.
As the NALF Board strives to ensure the integrity of Limousin shows, exhibit cattle in such a way that shows are viewed to be as credible as the cattle by the rest of the industry. Remember the value of showing cattle rests as much in breeder interaction and the exchange of ideas as it does with competition. Encourage selection of judges respected within the industry, judges who can communicate with breeders. Encourage selection of judges in tune with the Limousin breed and the commercial industry, judges breeders believe will choose the type of Limousin cattle breeders want as breed representatives-understanding the breed never has the right or luxury of telling judges how to select cattle. Encourage continued use of the associate-judge system.
