This year’s winner has been a member of NALJA since 2014.  She has actively shown her bred and owned cattle and participated in junior activities at every Eastern Regional Junior Limousin Show and Limousin Nationals Show since then.  For three years she served on the NALJA board as a director and as secretary.  Supporting other juniors by helping with their cattle and helping them feel welcome to the association has been one of her favorite parts of showing cattle.  She has played an integral part in winning the Small State Herdsmanship Award for Virginia in 3 different years.

The Limousin breed and the show world family has shaped Tyler into the man he is today, and he hopes to keep giving back to the industry. With the knowledge he has gained, he tries to pass what he was taught down to the younger generations and help anyone that needs it along the way.

Riley’s love for this great breed derived from the relationships he made with the people in the breed, even more so than just the strengths of Limousin cattle.

A longtime herdsman of Simmental cattle Paige Peine already had quite the repertoire in the cattle industry. So, what would make a lifetime Simmental producer jump the fence? High quality Limousin cattle.

Abby will continue her journey raising show heifers for future showmen. With her knowledge gained throughout the time she has been showing cattle as a junior member and 4-H, she has tried to pass what she was taught down to the younger generations and help anyone that needs it.

Being a part of the show cattle industry affords us the opportunity to work with some of the best in the business. Not only do they bring a wealth of knowledge about livestock to the table, but they are also some of the biggest hearted people around.
