The Canadian Junior Limousin Association is excited to announce the winners of its first Herd Building Incentive Program. The program’s goal is to provide juniors with funds to purchase Limousin animals and genetics. It’s open to all association members and recent alumni up to age 25. The task was to create a video to promote the Limousin breed that used the theme “Limousin Breeds Success.”
