Oklahoma exhibitor earns Limousin's O'Brien AwardOklahoma Brandon Douglas of Miami, Okla., was honored with the Dick O'Brien Memorial Junior Herdsman Award at the National Junior Limousin Show and Congress (NJLSC) in Lawton. The North American Limousin Junior Association (NALJA) presented the award at its annual awards banquet July 14. State Limousin junior advisors nominate NJLSC exhibitors for the O'Brien Award to recognize a superior job of caring for animals, interacting with others, meeting the public and demonstrating maturity. First presented in 1996, the award is named in memory of Limousin enthusiast Dick O'Brien. With more than 30 years in the breed, the O'Brien family has one of the nation's pioneer Limousin herds in Missouri. Coincidentally, O'Brien was Douglas's maternal uncle, making for an emotional presentation to the 21-year-old in his final year of eligibility for NALJA membership. The North American Limousin Foundation (www.nalf.org), headquartered in Englewood, Colo., provides programs and services--including genetic evaluation of 5,000 active sires--to about 4,000 members and their commercial customers. The Limousin breed and its Lim-Flex hybrid lead the beef industry in muscle-growth efficiency and ideally complement British breeds. Date: 8/24/06
