[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 2409"] What a great site. Although Limousin's are not my breed of preference, I greatly applaud their association for providing this valuable information. Other breed associations should stand up and pay attention to the NALJA's foresight! I will share this same information with recent juniors who have purchased either steers or heifers from our farm. Not to fault any 4-H leaders because being a 4-H leader is mostly a thankless job, but too often parents step up to the plate only when they have children that are involved, not necessarily because of their expertise. I know in my county the leaders are grandparents of 4-H members. These folks never were involved in the cattle business, feeding cattle and are definately not proficient in handling cattle. Unfortunately, these same people pooh-pooh any ideas of visiting cattle breeders, participation in state sponsored Beef Expo events, etc. They are very comfortable with the 'keep them down on the farm' attitude....but then they don't understand why membership is low or why kids opt to go to other counties to join clubs!!!!
