May/June 2023 Junior National Edition

calf pair, Reserve Supreme Heifer at Tulsa State Fair and Champion Charolais Composite at the American Royal. I got to show her twice at OYE, once as a calf and then again with her calf, Nelly! Naomi has definitely become one of the all time favorites at our house! We had so much fun at home and at the show with her. Even my 6 year old sister, Conley, could help! I love showing cow calf pairs. It worked out perfectly that my other sister Raimey could show the calf. Winning the Supreme Heifer Show, alongside my sister at OYE, was very special! My parents are my biggest supporters. I love them both so much! It takes a team to make everything successful. The hugs and excitement from my family, friends, and crew made winning the show even richer. It truly wouldn’t have been the same without my show family standing ring side cheering me on. It was an unbelievable show, experience, and

now memory. I am so very grateful. Raimey, Tripp, Conley, and I’s team wouldn’t be the same without Stock Martin and Baylor Bonham. They are so dedicated to my family and I. I love them both and am so thankful for them! Also, a special thanks to the entire Bonham Cattle crew: Steve, Travis, Little Bob, Noah, Bradley and Kaid. You can’t find a better clipping, fitting, or support team than them. Thank you guys so much. I feel very fortunate to live in a state that has such competitive livestock. Oklahoma Youth is blessed with so many people that not only invest their money, but countless hours putting on the world’s largest junior livestock show. Thanks to Tyler Norvell, Kass Newell, Bray Haven, and the rest of the OYE staff for putting on the very best show! ■ “GIVE THANKS TO THE LORD, FOR HE IS GOOD; HIS LOVE ENDURES FOREVER” 1 Chronicles 16:34
