The Oklahoma Simmental Simbrah Association private treaty bull sale will include other breeds with over 50 head being shown this year. All of the bulls in the offering will be 12 to 24 months, current on all vaccinations, and have a current breeding soundness exam. Buyers can be confident in that the bulls in the offering are ready to go home and go to work. The All Breed Private Treaty Bull Sale moves to the lower level of the Quik trip center this year. Bulls will be catalogued with pedigree and performance information as well as prices. Bulls will be sold first come, first served, and there will be trucking available. Information about the sale bulls will be available throughout the farm show, and detailed information will be available at all IPE Building entries and at the Oklahoma Simmental Simbrah Association booth #122.

 


Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom is a joint project of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food and Forestry, Oklahoma State Department of Education, Oklahoma State University and the Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service, 4-H Youth Development. The purpose of Oklahoma Ag in the Classroom is to help familiarize Oklahoma school children with Oklahoma's number one industry--the food and fiber industry. Be certain to visit this interesting display and try your hand at cow milking, one of the many hands-on activities featured this year.  

 

When Craig Cameron steps into the round pen, those attending get a rare combination of horse and common sense. Even the most experienced horse person will leave Craig’s clinic having learned something new. Craig works with unridden horses at 9:30AM daily and other horsemanship issues from reining to trailer loading in his afternoon sessions. He is available throughout the day at the SUTHERLANDS display at BOOTH #1008 where you can also register to win the  round pen Craig used during the show. The Round Pen Winner will be drawn from all entries just prior to Craig’s final clinic Saturday afternoon at approximately 2:20 PM.  

 

Sensational prizes will be awarded Saturday beginning at 11:00AM during a live broadcast on KXBL and KVOO.  The Grand Prize winner will drive away an ARCTIC CAT 400 ATV. Details of the prize promotions are available at the TULSA FARM SHOW website, www.farmshowsusa.com/Mains/TMain.htm.
