Oklahoma Youth Expo Information

Although the Oklahoma Youth Expo isn’t until next spring, it is time to start thinking about it now. 

All sheep and goats must be nominated on-site at Muskogee on November 3, Chickasha on November 4, or Enid on November 5.

Swine nominations aren’t due (postmarked) until December 10, but be sure to order your nomination kits early.  The kits cost $10 each.  Also, remember that just because you nominated an animal it does not mean that you are entered in the show.  Online entries must be completed before February 12, 2010 for all species.  Entry fees for cattle are $30 each.  Sheep, goats, and swine have a $20 entry fee.
