The Ontario Limousin Association held its AGM at Listowel, on July 29, 2022. After enjoying the generous donation of coffee and donuts by Beef Farmers of Ontario (BFO) and Don Scott of Spare Time Livestock, the day started with the junior show, sponsored by the association. There were 21 juniors who presented top-quality Limousin heifers.
Following award presentations and pictures, a delicious roast beef lunch was served to 70 members by the Listowel Agricultural Society.
The AGM included annual reports, elections of new directors, Madgett Award and Angus Campbell Award winner announcements and guest speakers.
