Breed Improvement Incentive

SOCIETY RETURNS £54,045 TO BREEDERS

Maintaining the ongoing drive for breed improvement, the British Limousin Cattle Society returned over £54,000 to members, in the form of pedigree refunds, in the 2007 financial year.

The financially incentivised scheme allows all members to assess the quality of the stock they have registered, male or female, up to the age of 450 days. If the member chooses to de-register the animal before it has attained this age, a flat rate refund of £20 + VAT is given.

Within an ever more discerning marketplace, the drive to keep the standard of stock within the BLCS herdbook as high as possible, remains a constant focus. Members welcome the basis of the refund initiative and they - and the breed as a whole - continue to gain reward for rigorous selection and breed improvement at point of sale.
