Hawkins 2013 Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Gallery Inductee

The 2013 Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Gallery inductee is David Hawkins, E. Lansing, Mich. For those involved in animal agriculture, this selection is a very high honor. It is bestowed by the Saddle and Sirloin award committee based on service to and impact on the livestock industry. The portrait gallery is the livestock industry’s hall of fame.

Hawkins began his teaching career at Michigan State University (MSU) after earning his doctorate from that institution in 1969. In 1973 he was named the faculty coordinator of the MSU Beef Cattle Teaching Center. Under his leadership the success of the MSU purebred beef cattle herds has served to recruit many potential students and motivate them to become successful stockmen.

During his more than 40 year career at MSU, he has been a teacher, livestock judging team coach, student mentor, purebred livestock show judge, and National Collegiate Livestock Judging Contest superintendent. He is the recipient of numerous awards including the Distinguished Teacher, Animal Industry Service, and Fellow Awards from the American Society of Animal Science. Today, Hawkins and his wife, Kathleen, live in Michigan where they maintain a noted Angus cattle herd.

During his career, Hawkins contributed significantly to the worldwide livestock industry. Under his leadership, the MSU herd was selected for both type and performance, producing cattle that were excellent classroom models and highly sought after by the industry for their genetic excellence. He became one the most respected beef cattle show judges in the U.S. and internationally. He officiated at national shows for seven breeds of cattle in over 36 states and in Canada, Europe and Australia. Because of his animal science expertise, he has presented seminars on beef cattle breeding, selection and genetic improvement in North and South America, Australia and Europe.

Hawkins was deserving of this honor for not only his impact on beef cattle genetic improvement programs worldwide, but also his direct interaction with more than 7,000 students that he molded into today’s livestock industry leaders.

The Saddle & Sirloin portrait presentation took place Nov. 17, 2013, at the 40th Annual North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, Ky. HW

David Hawkins is shown here standing in front of his portrait that was made part of the famous Saddle & Sirloin Portrait Collection. He is the 2013 inductee, and his image now becomes part of a portrait gallery that encompasses more than 350 original oil paintings of famous individuals who have been honored over the past 100-plus years.
