The Montgomery State
Steer Show used to be and still is the biggest calf show in state! Today, it's called the Alabama State Steer Show and is part of the Junior Beef Expo! This week, as we begin to plan for the upcoming SLE rodeo season (which entails the JBE), we thought it'd be fun to reflect on some of our old state show pictures! This one stood out because not only was it one of the early full-color pages of the Alabama Cattleman magazine, but it featured a perfect example of how showing calves can develop a child into a leader. Featured for this week's #ThrowbackThursday from the year 1981 is the Alabama Farmer's Federation Executive Director Paul Pinyan with his Reserve Champion steer at the Montgomery State Steer Show.
The steer was bought by W.S.
“Billy” Newell, left, and J.W. “Mac” Casey, center, for a price of $5.00 per
pound. Newell and Casey donated the steer to the Alabama Sheriff’s Boys Ranch
in memory of Tine W. Davis.
Share with us your old state show pictures on the SLE Rodeo Facebook.
