Journalists Wandering Eyes Posted March 6, 2019 Journalists Share Posted March 6, 2019 Robert Hall, Jr., longtime owner and president of Central Kentucky’s Farmers Feed Mill and its Hallway Feeds brand, will be the 2019 inductee into the Saddle and Sirloin Club, widely considered the highest honor in the livestock industry. The club is made up of influential figures in the livestock industry and was originally housed on the top floor of the Purebred Livestock Records Building in Chicago, Illinois, in the early 1900s. Livestock men would gather on the top floor over a sirloin steak or a saddle of lamb in the banquet, leading to the name “Saddle and Sirloin Club.” Chosen by their peers, the club continues the heritage of its founders to pay homage to those who have made the greatest contributions to the livestock industry. Hall’s portrait will be added to the exclusive club gallery, recognizing a lifetime of exceptional service to the livestock business. “It is extremely humbling,” Hall said. “I have known quite a few members of the club. I worked for one of them, W.P. Garrigus, at the University of Kentucky, and I was close personal friends with Henry Besuden. I can name a bunch of them that come to mind. This is a mountain peak that you always look at and never think you are going to reach. To get to the top of it, it is something special.” The induction ceremony will be held during the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville Nov. 17.
