Oklahoma Governor Kevin Stitt, along with Ag Secretary Blayne Arthur and Deputy Commissioner of the Oklahoma Department of Agriculture, Food, and Forestry, JanLee Rowlett, recently hosted a special event to honor the state’s national champion junior livestock exhibitors. The students were recognized for winning awards for exhibiting cattle at various shows across the country this summer.
Cattle, Sheep, Goat, and, of course, pig exhibitors who won championships throughout the year were invited by Secretary of Agriculture Blayne Arthur to a tour of the Oklahoma State Capitol to meet various legislators, along with the Governor.
The event began at the State Capitol, where the exhibitors and their parents gathered on the lawn together before moving inside the Capitol to take photos with the Governor and discuss their award recognition with him.
During their time at the Capital, the students and their families were able to tour the facilities. The event concluded with Governor Stitt presenting each student with a letter of recognition for their achievements. The special gathering was a way to formally acknowledge the hard work and success of the young Oklahomans.
