Hello Friends and fellow Limousin enthusiasts,
If you are looking for that silver lining in the cloud of economic and
drought news, look to the the junior program in Texas. Texas juniors
turned out in large numbers at both the State and National shows, and their
accomplishments are praise worthy.
Many current breeders became involved in the breed through the junior
program, looking at the current crop of juniors, the future looks bright for
the Limousin breed. This drought will pass and when it does our breed is
positioning itself for positive growth. These young people as future breeders
will play a part in that growth.
Mark Anderson Executive Director of the North American Limousin
Foundation recently addressed a group of TLA members in Abilene. Mark
relayed his positive experiences with Limousin genetics in the feed yards and
the advantages the breed offers to allow diverse marketing options, Natural
programs, Lauras Lean, Strauss Veal, etc. Mark also discussed the importance
of Texas to the beef industry in general and the growth of the Limousin breed
in particular.
Many breeders are in a survival mode due to conditions out of their control,
however it is important to realize there is a bright future for our cattle. Now
more than ever it is important to work together to keep our association strong
and united towards the common goal of growing our breed.
Sincerely,
Ralph
A LETTER FROM THE EXECUTIvE SECRETARy

was on the draft board, in January 1953 and participated
in combat in South Korea. He earned the Korean Service
ribbon with one Bronze Service Star, National Defense
Service Medal, Combat Infantry Badge, and United
Nations Service Medal. Pete was honorably discharged
August 13, 1954. His discharge certificate lists his main
civilian occupation as a “saddle horse breaker.”
Upon his return, he traveled the rodeo circuit and
married Treva McGinnis and this union produced three
children, Tracie, Ryan and Graling.
From 1959-1966 he was the ranch foreman for the
Western Cattle Co. at White Thunder Ranch near
Milesville, South Dakota. He then began ranching on the
Cheyenne River until March 1974.
He married Ann Rankin, with daughter Julie, in 1970
and in 1974 they purchased land near Timber Lake, South
Dakota, and started Lookout Limousin Ranch where they
raised Limousin cattle.
Pete was a pioneer in the purebred cattle industry,
implementing artificial insemination, pregnancy testing
and embryo transplant.
He tested 15 to 20 thousand cows a year for over 40
years. His first border collie, Tom, put about 450,000 cows
down the chute for him.
In the spring of 1998 he sold the main ranch and
retired. During his “retirement” he bred and trained
some of the top border collies in the nation. Along with
running upwards of 1,000 head of sheep, he traveled the
United States judging and participating in sheep and
cattle dog trials.
Pete received the 2007 South Dakota Master Lamb
Producer, 2008 South Dakota Excellence in Range
Management Area III, and the 2010 Tom Didier Pioneer
Award.
His legacy was his sense of humor, work ethic, and
ability to relate to people and dogs of all ages.
He is survived by his wife, Ann of 41 years and children
Tracie Bollinger; Ryan and Susan Carmichael; Graling
and Carla Carmichael; Julie and Dan Mewes; and Heidi
and Deb Ducheneaux; 14 grandchildren, eight great
grandchildren and two sisters.
