"Paul apologises sincerely for any inconvenience caused.”
Shock
The pedigree world was dealt a shock in October with the news that Paul Sykes was stepping down from his role.
Three weeks ago, he decided he would reverse his decision and return to his role as breed secretary. However it’s understood he is now standing down with immediate effect.
The Mayo man was highly regarded, not just in Limousin circles, but in the wider pedigree fraternity and is seen as a loss to the Limousin breed by many breeders.
The AGM of the Irish Limousin Cattle Society will take place next Wednesday night at 8pm online via Zoom.
Mayo man Michael Oliver and Meath man William Smith will contest the election for one seat at the Limousin council.
