Madilyn Norvel, Tuttle. was recently honored as the All-Around Junior Cattleman of the Year during the Annual Oklahoma Junior Cattlemen's Association (OJCA) Awards Luncheon.
All-Around Junior Cattleman is the most prestigious award that the Oklahoma Junior Cattlemen's Association awards annually. Members earn points for participating in the speech, star and sales contests; and by placing in the Top Ten Triple Crown Heifers, Steers and the top ten of the steer feedout contest.
Norvell, the 11-year-old daughter of Tyler and Beth Norvell, will be a 6th grader at Amber-Pocasset Elementary. She has been exhibiting cattle, pigs and goats for several years and has found her passion in the livestock arena. She also enjoys judging livestock, public speaking, playing basketball, tumbling, and taking piano lessons.
Norvell's success in the show ring is a family effort as she and her younger sister, Saylor, work together daily at the barn to help each other succeed with their livestock projects. Additionally, she has started her own cattle herd consisting of Angus, Simmental and Hereford cattle and plans to begin showing bred and owned heifers next year.
The OJCA was started in 1985 to further the education and cooperation of young people interested in cattle, and to aid in the attainment of mutual goals set by OJCA members interested in all phases of their business and possible career and leadership opportunities.
