Throwback Thursday: 1986

Who remembers the drought of 1986 that so harshly threatened Alabama cattlemen’s ability to feed their cattle that it brought about national attention and aid?

The drought called the attention of the Emergency Cattle Feed Task Force which met in the ACA building to discuss ways of helping cattlemen meet immediate and long-term needs. Colorado, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Louisiana and Californian ranchers sent hay via Air Force carriers, 100+ rail cars and truckloads to meet the needs of Alabama’s cattle industry.

This just goes to show that the beauty of the American beef industry is that we take care of one another; we have each other's backs. We will stop at nothing to put the care of livestock as a top priority, no matter if it's ours, our neighbors' or a complete strangers'. Animal husbandry is our trade.
