Royal Highlights
Premier Mimi Y48,
a 15 month old heifer by Premier Guardian V77 was crowned the Supreme Champion
Limousin at the 2004 Melbourne Royal. Premier Mimi exhibited by Fred and Michelle Geard of Joadja NSW
was earlier awarded the Junior and Grand Champion Female of the Show by the
judge Daryl Jones.
The Senior
Champion female Birubi Power Extra X230 an EXLR Power Up daughter was exhibited
by junior member Daniel Laird from Warrnambool, Vic. Daniel won this female as a heifer at the 2003 National Show
Junior Judging Competition and both Daniel and breeder of the heifer, Annette
Tynan were thrilled with the win. The
black heifer was donated by Annette and Michael Tynan for the 2003 competition
and has certainly found a good home.
The Grand
Champion Bull Tuerong Park You Bute chalked up the third successive Grand
Champion Bull award for veteran breeder John Stubbe. It is most likely a record for the Limousin breed - has any other
stud won three successive Grand Championships at a Royal Show?

Elders
Embryo Auction Online
Have just had an
email from Tim Bayliss, the National Coordinator for Auctions Plus at Elders to
say Elders are conducting an online embryo auction on 22 October.
Tim said the last
embryo auction was a huge success but was stacked with Angus embryos. He is keen to make the auction a truly all
breeds sale so has invited entries from Limousin breeders (and other breeds).
He says that
entries need to be in very soon with entry forms available from Tim on tim.bayliss@elders.com.au or phone
02 6036 2444.
If you are
interested in buying embryos or just watching the sale you need to register
with www.auctionsplus.com.au or
contact your local Elders branch.
