From the archives: Goldenview Farms era draws to close

The Canadian Limousin Association shared the following story below from its breed archives. 

The Goldenview dispersal was held August 13, 1988, at the farm near High River, Alta. The 104.75 lots on offer grossed $998,350 to average $9,530.

The decision to disperse the Goldenview herd was a difficult one for Jim and Ruth McBride and was precipitated by several continuous years of drought on their dryland farm located just south of Calgary.
