Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame
KANSAS CITY, Mo. — The Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame recognized Joe Morgan of Scott City, as a 2025 inductee during its 16th annual banquet on Feb. 5, 2025, in San Antonio, Texas.
Established in 2009, the Hall of Fame was created to honor the visionary men and women who have made lasting contributions to the cattle feeding industry, including helping to improve production practices and celebrate the industry’s rich traditions.
After joining Poky Feeders in 1985 as manager, Morgan expanded its capacity from 17,000 head to the current 103,000, 95% of which are customer cattle. Poky Feeders also partners on leased feedyards in Kansas and Nebraska and has extensive ranch holdings.
Morgan is a longtime member of the Kansas Livestock Association and NCBA, as well as a founding member and current vice chairman of U.S. Premium Beef.
“It’s an honor to recognize these outstanding members of the cattle feeding industry,” said Dustin Johansen, senior vice president at Farm Journal and Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame board member. “Their passion and commitment have helped make our country the world’s most efficient producer of safe, quality beef.”
Founding sponsors of the Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame include Merck Animal Health, Drovers magazine and Osborn Barr Paramore (OBP). A full list of inductees and award winners can be found at cattlefeeders.org.
All ticket sales for this year’s sold-out banquet and corporate sponsorships benefited future initiatives for the Cattle Feeders Hall of Fame. All funds from tickets purchased by cattle feeders are fully donated to the Hall of Fame.
