Georgia Limousin Association Overview

The organizational meeting of the Georgia Limousin Association was held September 17, 1975 at the Bob Williams Farm in Covington, Georgia. In attendance were approximately 50 interested people. Four of those founding member are still currently active members of the association.

The Georgia Limousin Association strongly supports the Georgia Junior Limousin Association, the North American Limousin Foundation and the Limouselles. Five members of the Georgia Limousin Association have served as a director of the North American Limousin Association. Four junior members have served as a director of the North American Limousin Junior Association. And there are five females from Georgia who are lifetime members of the Limouselles, and one has served as an officer. In the highly competitive North American Limousin Queen competition, Georgia has always been well represented. In 1990, the national banner was brought to Georgia. A highlight of the Georgia Limousin Association was being host for the North American Limousin Junior Association Show and Congress and the All-American Limousin Futurity in 1991.

The directors of the association re-established a Fall Bull Sale in November 2003. The Limousin-sponsored bull sale offered a group of quality bulls that were weighed, graded and scanned for performance data. Plans are in progress for a 2004 bull sale to be held November 6.

In July, the annual Field Day rotates to various members' farms or other locations of the state with a junior show, judging contests and other educational events. The exhibitors are awarded premiums and scholarships for their participation.

The Georgia Limousin Association directors and members provide support for the North American Limousin Foundation, Georgia Cattlemen's Association and the University of Georgia on various projects, shows and other cattle-related activities.
