Throwback Thursday: November 19, 2015

This week’s #ThrowbackThursday goes back to a 1990s Beef Day Celebration at Auburn University. The state’s beef cattle industry and the Auburn University College of Agriculture were recognized during the Auburn-FSU football game. ACA’s Bill Johnson, left, and Dr. Billy Powell, right, are pictured on the football field just prior to kickoff presenting cowboys hats to Auburn President Jim Martin and College of Agriculture Dean Jim Marion.

Throwback Thursday: 1984

This week's #ThrowbackThursday throws back all the way to 1984! This was a big year for the ACA because not only was it celebrating its 40th birthday, but it was also named the largest state Cattlemen's Association in the United States...again...with 16,700 members submitted to nationals. That's a lot to celebrate!

Pictured are leaders from several counties that had the largest member increases that year. L-R Sam Hill, Tuscaloosa County; Fred Rayfield, Coosa County; Joe Huie and Herbert brothers, Blount County; Burton Pearson, Pickens County and Bill Johnson, Montgomery County.
