Farmfair International in Ed-monton, Alberta is where our National Events will take place. An interesting added perk for this year for all exhibi-tors and visitors, is the fact that we have some international guests attend-ing the show this year. We are expecting some Lim-ousin breeders from Australia, Mexico and France to join us.
