Lloyd Saunders, often referred to as “Lloydie”, was a man with old fashioned values and a cowboy work ethic. It was contentment with that work, which gave him such profound effect on folks. He has that perfect balance between his friends, family, and his dedication to the land on the cowboy lifestyle.
These qualities are what made him a valuable member of the Washington County Calf Scramble Committee. He truly loved working with scramblers and was willing to help — no matter what! He served on the committee for almost 20 years and became close with all of the members. Though the years, Lloydie has taught many scramblers how to care for and respect their livestock. Taking care of the land and God’s creatures was Lloydie’s calling.
Calf scramble committee members have worked diligently to keep his memory alive, by setting up the Lloyd Saunders Memorial Scholarship Fund. Future scramblers may not get to receive Lloydie’s expertise and caring way first-hand, but thanks to his dedicated friends, his lessons will continue to be shared with Washington County Calf Scramblers.
