Gamecock Royalty: Behind the Scenes at Sir Big Spur’s Farm

The roar of the crowd, the sound of Sandstorm pulsing through the stadium speakers, and the

sight of Sir Big Spur on the sidelines — it's a tradition that gets every Gamecock fan's heart

pumping. But what happens when the stadium lights turn off? We went behind the scenes with

the official handlers, Van and Beth Clark, on their farm to learn what it's like to care for a live

mascot.

In this episode of Soda City Unleashed, the Clarks shared the surprising story of how they

became the keepers of this feathered icon. They opened up about the dedication it takes to

raise a gamecock with such a big personality and an even bigger fan base.

Partners in Pride: A Community Effort

Caring for a live mascot requires a team, and the Clarks couldn't do it without the support of the

community. CVETS is proud to be the official sponsor of Sir Big Spur, who supports keeping

this beautiful bird in peak condition. This partnership is a testament to the dedication of

everyone involved in maintaining this beloved tradition.

For fans who want to support Sir Big Spur and ensure this tradition continues for years to

come, you can contribute directly to the Live Mascot Fund. Your donations help provide the best possible care for the mascot, from his diet to his health.
