Alonzo Dever in charge of the herd 1940-41, seen here in 1938 with Robbins Bros. using a volunteer for the head carry with "Ding".
What those guys did for their art form, in later years I remember Lonzo,s cauliflower ears.

around the track (I missed it)

Chic: You finally sprung for a new pic? Quite impressive, necktie and all.

I never saw Little Bobby do this but if Steve told him to do it he would. Or was this after Rex had the herd? Or maybe even in Logan's day?

Bobby wore a sequined smock and aviators cap that almost concealed him completely.
He was carried down the front track where Lucio awaited to shake his hand and congratulate him.
He then received the same treatment from several more brothers strategically located to hustle him out the back door.
