About Us
Our History
On 2004, it began to emerge among the Limousin breeders of Catalonia the idea of creating an association in order to make purchases and sales as a group to be more efficient and keep abreast of the latests developments of our market. On April 2005, coinciding with the “Mercat del Ram de Vic” we held our first formal meeting and we decided to form the association with the name ASSOLIM (Associació Catalana de Criadors de la Raça Bovina Llemosina).
Thus we started working on writing the statutes, set objectives and keep the first contacts with the government institutions and other associations. After many meetings and visits to the Justice Department our statutes were approved on December 15th 2006 with the inscription number 33584.
