The National Championship in Livestock Evaluation is returning once again to Oklahoma as the Livestock Judging team representing the state from the Ft. Gibson FFA Chapter is the first place team in the 2025 National Contest at the 98th National FFA Convention.
Oklahoma is one of the leading states in America when it comes to this contest, one of the oldest of the career development contests- Ft. Gibson winning the National Title makes it the 21st team from the state that has won since FFA has hosted the competition. Ft. Gibson was the best in the US this week- beating teams from 44 other states. The Top five teams this year came from Oklahoma, Texas, Iowa, Nebraska and Illinois.
The Ft. Gibson team included Avery White, Kennedy Lockhart, Gracie Gist and Raygan Greathouse. Greathouse is the National Individual Champion while Kennedy Lockhart was the seventh high individual. The Advisor at Ft. Gibson is Lane Howe.
