Summary
In this kickoff episode of the Past Presidents Profile series, host Kayla Greer sits down with former Alabama Cattlemen’s Association (ACA) president Richard Meadows of Houston County. Richard shares his roots at Meadows Creek Farm, how early involvement in 4‑H, Auburn University’s Department of Animal Sciences, and industry networking shaped his path to leadership, and how the association supported his family during a life‑changing medical crisis. The conversation explores Richard’s experiences guiding the ACA through a staff leadership transition, the importance of scholarships and youth programs, and the impact of the ACA’s advocacy.
