What a year 2011 has been, with the drought being the center focus.

The drought started out west and worked its way east, eventually taking over the entire state. Many breeders had to severely reduce their cow herds. However, it is amazing how resourceful cattlemen can be when the stress is on. Developing new rations, different feeding strategies, and moving cattle to better pastures were common practices in many operations. There are many negatives that can occur in a drought this severe and the quality and prices for hay hauled into Oklahoma were sometimes ridiculous. But in these times, we found many people that wanted to help their fellow cattlemen; people really found out who their friends were. On a positive note, the quality of all cattle in Oklahoma will increase as only the absolute best survived the culling process. Prices for all cattle are at record highs, and the prices of next year’s calf crop could top anything we can imagine. 2011 made us realize what is really important: friends, family, and this tremendous breed of cattle we raise.

The OKSSA would like to sincerely thank all those who supported the association throughout the year and wish everyone much success in 2012.

2011 Family of the Year

Cheryl was a farm and ranch girl, who was very active in school. She was a member of the local 4-H and FFA organizations and loved to play basketball. She showed swine, sheep, dairy, and beef…excelling in showmanship with many trophies to her credit. She was raised in Strong City, Oklahoma and

attended the Cheyenne Public Schools.Jay was actively involved in the show ring as well and always maintained his

academics. He attended the Nowata Public Schools.Jay and Cheryl met while attending Panhandle State University, where they both

worked at the DeKalb Swine Division in Kansas. They were married in Strong City during the worst weather you could imagine…snow and ice, with the temperature hovering about 5 degrees. They honeymooned in Elk City, Oklahoma, where on the second day of their honeymoon, they called Harold and Carolyn Gwartney (Cheryl’s parents) to come and play foosball them…imagine that! Of course, Harold and Carolyn braved the icy roads to share a night of foosball with the newlyweds, having a grand old time.

They started their married life on a ranch they purchased near Nowata, Oklahoma, where they had two children, Samantha and Jacob. Both children show cattle, play sports, and are active in their local 4-H and FFA chapters.

The family remains active in their church and livestock organizations. Cheryl is a member of the OKSSA Board, currently serving as Vice President, and Jay and Cheryl continue to maintain their cattle operation. In addition to serving as Vice President, Cheryl enjoys working with the Oklahoma Juniors as their Junior Advisor. Jay and Cheryl have been and will continue to be great supporters and valuable members of the OKSSA.

The Johnsons would like to thank the OKSSA for being named the Family of the Year.

There’s a cloud in the westAnd my heart’s a beatin’ fast

But low and beholdThat cloud went right on past!

The weatherman said we haveRain in the forecast

But he also said there’s notMuch hope for it to last.

We’ve sold half our cattleWe may sell some more

There ‘s hardly any hay in our barnAnd wheat pasture is not in store.

But no matter how bad timesMay be

We have smiles on our facesWhen our family and friends we see.

No matter who has the worst problemsNo matter how bad things may be

Cattlemen are men of strength and prideWith a much stronger woman at their side!
