Throwback Thursday: 1979

The year 1979 was a good one for Kittiwake Farms of Jasper, Ala! This week’s #ThrowbackThursday pictures the trophy presentation of the Reserve Champion Bull at the Alabama Polled Hereford Association’s annual Blue Ribbon Show. From L-R are Kittiwake owner Grady Sparks, show judge Truman Lawrence and Kittiwake manager Bob Ebert. 

After many out of Alabama while operating in other states, Kittiwake returned to Alabama. Everyone loves a good "return to the farm" story!

Throwback Thursday: 1964

This week's #ThrowbackThursday goes all the way back to 1964, and it features W.R. Lanier (Lanier Hereford Farms) of Jachin, Ala. 

Here he and one of his Hereford cattle are pictured with the top beef judges of an ACA sponsored event. 

Lanier later became the president of the ACA in 1978.





Side Note:
The ACA library is stocked full of old old magazine pictures and memoirs. Stop by sometime to sift through the old pics and take a step back into ACA history.
