2023 Heartland Benefit

Mark Your Calendar!

March 3rd

The Heartland Limousin Association (HLA) invites everyone to attend their annual meeting, banquet and benefit auction. Mark your calendar for Friday, March 3, 2023. The festivities will begin at 5:30 p.m. at the Linhart Sale Facility near Leon, Iowa. This event is held in conjunction with the Linhart “Business Done Right” Bull Sale the next day. The banquet is FREE, and it is a wonderful opportunity to socialize with
Limousin breeders from across the country. The benefit auction is the main fundraising event for the Heartland Limousin Association for the year. The money raised on the auction goes to support the salary of the Executive Secretary as well as cover the cost of travel expenses. We do appreciate your support of the HLA!
