Beef producers can witness a beef breed championship, a carcass competition, a rotational grazing demonstration and more while visiting the Beef Expo — one of six livestock expos — at the show. The Canadian Limousin Showcase will return for the second year, featuring a 100 -head breed show, a 4- H judging competition and genetic testing.

The event is housed in a 50 -foot by 140 -foot Cover -All fabric building and is sponsored by Cover - All Building Systems of Ontario. Shur -Gain, Merial and Canada's Outdoor Farm Show. Jordon Underhill, the show's livestock marketing co-ordinator says both visitors and the hosts of the event — the Ontario Limousin Association — were pleased with last year's success. "The Canadian Limousin Showcase has proven to be an excellent complement to our Beef Expo, offering producers a chance to see the best of the breed while visiting the Show," says Underhill. Also part of the 2004 Beef Expo is the Quality Carcass Competition, open to a limit of 40 purebred and commercial entries. The three producers with the top -grading cattle, judged on marbling and yield, will win cash prizes of $2,000, $1,000 and $500.The cattle will be on display during the Show and afterwards, federal graders will select the winning carcass. Visitors to the show will also have a chance to win by scoring the cattle entered in the competition and estimating carcass quality. The visitor that scores the winning animal closest to the actual post -Show grading will receive a box of steaks cut from the winning carcass. At the Swine Expo, live swine demos will take place twice a day and the new demos include an automated sow feeder and piglet feeder; ultrasounding; and needle - free injection.
