"The C.O.D.Y. Program is an outstanding example of livestock producers working together to benefit young exhibitors. Our FFA chapter has participated in the program from the beginning. It develops leadership and responsibility in young people that can't be taught by classroom experience only", Sam Lower, Ag Instructor, Lebanon Technology and Career Center.

"I think it is one of the best if not the best program out there for young people interested in the livestock industry.  It is a win win situation for producer and student.  I wish other breed associations would follow the lead of the Limousin association and get involved with youth who have an interest but no means.  This program offers kids an opportunity that would not be available if it weren't’t for the support of Limousin breeders.  Thanks for making my job easier, and more enriching for my students."
