Halls of fame for Clydesdale breeders, pork producers and cattle feeders

This installment of my series on interesting virtual halls of fame has an animal theme.
I’ve previously written about halls of fame for cattle veterinarians and American border collie breeders and handlers. What follows are a few more animal-related halls of fame.

Clydesdale Hall of Fame

The Clydesdale Breeders of the U.S.A., incorporated in 1879, inducts individuals into its Clydesdale Hall of Fame. The association exists to collect, preserve and publish the history and pedigrees of purebred Clydesdale horses. The group inducted its newest hall of fame members on April 26.

Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame

The Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame was established in March 2009 to honor exceptional men and women who have made lasting contributions to the cattle-feeding industry.

National Pork Producers Council Hall of Fame

The National Pork Producers Council honors individuals for their lifetime achievements in the U.S. pork industry in its NPPC Hall of Fame.

American Brace Beagling Hall of Fame

Beagling is a sport in which beagles, in groups of two, trail and track a rabbit around a 50-acre, fenced-in enclosure. Each competition, known as a field trial, may involve as many 40 or 50 beagles. (See article by The Tribune-Democrat of Johnstown, Pennsylvania.) The best in the dog sport are inducted into the American Brace Beagling Hall of Fame.

El Paso Animal Hall of Fame

The El Paso Zoo and the El Paso Veterinary Medical Association commemorate the Texas city’s most beloved and iconic animals in the El Paso Animal Hall of Fame. The latest inductee is the zoo’s Sunny the California sea lion, who died in 2012. (See articles by KFOX and KTSM.)
