The Michigan Dynamometer Association nominates the Fowler Brothers, Jack of Montgomery and Bruce, deceased as the result of a farm accident in 1998.  Jack and Bruce are actually the second Fowler Brothers.  The original ones being their father Maurice and Uncle Mont Fowler.

Jack served on the Quincy Community School Board of Education for 20 years.  He is a lifetime member of the Elks Lodge #1575 in Hillsdale.  Jack has served on the Michigan Dynamometer Association board of directors for 32 years and is currently an honorary director.

Bruce served in the Armed Forces during World War II, was a supervisor for Camden Township, a member of the Elks Lodge #1575 in Hillsdale and the Montgomery American Legion.

Bruce and Jack worked as a team.  They were business partners as well as best friends!

Fowler Brothers Farms had a livestock business of buying, selling and shipping hogs to a packing house in Detroit along with buying, training and selling pulling horses.  At the same time they farmed over 1,000 acres and maintained a large cow/calf herd.

The Fowler Brothers name is synonymous with well trained, conditioned, harnessed and winning pulling teams.  Jack and Bruce took numerous horsemanship awards home.  The Fowler Brothers established World Heavyweight records in 1949, 1950, 1965, 1971 and 1989.

Our congratulations and thanks to the Fowler Brothers for their lifelong dedication to horsepulling.
