2023 Limousin Annual Journal

REGIONAL CLUBS
Scottish
Limousin Cattle Club
Chairman Stephanie Dick reports…
2022 was a very busy year with all the summers shows
and events back to normal.
The Highland Show was the first on our calendar. A
great success with a fantastic turnout of quality cattle
ably judged by member Mike Massie of the Elrick herd.
With Club members enjoying a lot of success during the
week a big thank you must go to everyone who brought
cattle out not only at the Highland but throughout the
summer. Showing is not a cheap hobby but the quality
of cattle on show and the numbers forward is a credit to
everyone and will keep the Limousin breed to the fore.
Then was the British Limousin 50 th Anniversary
celebrations at Carlisle. A very well organised event and
once again the Scottish club coming home with various
top prizes not only in the Pedigree section but also in
the Commercial cattle section. We also managed to win
the tidy lines trophy at the show with the committee
putting in so much work and preparation at home prior
to the event to make our Club stand pen stand out from
the rest. However, once we got to the market everyone
chipped in and helped and it was a real team effort from
pouring teas and coffee to picking up a brush, it was
great to see a strong team effort from the whole club.
First year of the Wattie Ritchie perpetual trophy
donated to the overall champion of the Grand Prix.
Best club stand at 50 th anniversary.
Overall champion - Burnbank RubyTuesday at the Scottish Limousin Grand Prix.
Reserve overall champion - Brockhurst Howzat at the Scottish Limousin Grand Prix.
