Oklahoma junior wins Wulf ScholarshipOklahoma Cody Beach, Bristow, received the second Leonard and Vi Wulf Scholarship at the National Junior Limousin Show and Congress in Lawton. Kent Andersen, Ph.D., executive vice president for the North American Limousin Foundation, made the presentation during the awards banquet July 14. Beach, 18, has been a member of both the North American Limousin Junior Association and Oklahoma Junior Limousin Association for 12 years. He will use the $500 Wulf scholarship to study agricultural marketing at either Tulsa Community College or Oklahoma State University next school year. After graduation, he plans to start his own livestock-marketing firm. "Cody will become successful in any area he chooses," said Curtis Shelton, Beach's principal at Bristow High School, in recommending him for the scholarship. "His family values, character and work ethic--instilled in him by his parents and other family members--are evident in all he does." Leonard and Vi Wulf, the founders of Wulf Limousin Farms, Morris, Minn., enabled the scholarship fund. They and their family have had a leading role in making the Limousin breed one of the top five in the United States. Leonard Wulf started his cattle herd in 1949. In 1970, he began mating cows by artificial insemination, which he believed was fundamental to herd improvement, to two Limousin bulls imported from France to Canada. Through a phenomenal work ethic, innovation and customer service, he built one of the largest and most successful seedstock enterprises in the nation before his death in 2003. To celebrate its 40th anniversary in 2004, BEEF magazine recognized Wulf as one of the top 40 individuals who had helped build a dynamic and exciting beef industry by enhancing production efficiency, developing new marketing tools, improving beef quality and pushing the boundaries of science. 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 nearly 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
