Mr. Sam Locks and His First Prize-Winning Devon Steer, circa 1920 This photograph showcases Mr. Sam Locks, proudly standing next to his one-year-and-seven-month-old Devon steer, which weighed an impressive 1107lbs (502kg). Mr. Locks, a dedicated farmer, had raised this magnificent bull to reach its full potential, and the hard work and dedication paid off as it secured the first prize at a local livestock show. The image captures the essence of rural life during the early 20th century, with Mr. Locks donning a bowler hat and holding a cane, while the steer's powerful black horns and muscular build exude strength and vitality. The apron he wears adds to his farmer's attire, emphasizing his connection to the land and the livestock under his care. The Devon steer, a breed known for its distinctive curly coat and docile nature, was a popular choice for farmers in the region. The success of Mr. Locks' steer at the show was a testament to his expertise and commitment to the breed. The photograph serves as a reminder of a time when agriculture played a significant role in rural communities and farmers took great pride in their livestock. This photograph, taken circa 1920, is a rare glimpse into the past and a celebration of the bond between farmer and livestock. It is an excellent addition to any collection focused on rural life, agriculture, or the history of farming practices.
