Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and Texas AgriLife Extension Service Host Annual Cattle Trails Wheat and Stocker Conference

Mon, 20 Jun 2011 10:07:11 CDT

Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and Texas AgriLife Extension Service Host Annual Cattle Trails Wheat and Stocker Conference Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and Texas AgriLife Extension Service are joining together once again this year to host their annual Cattle Trails Wheat and Stocker Conference. The conference will be held on August 5, 2011, in Lawton, Oklahoma. This conference will provide operators and managers up-to-date information on topics that will influence thier annual wheat and stocker cattle profits. In effect, the conference will assist growers in driving their operations to profits.


Oklahoma Cooperative Extension Service and Texas AgriLife Extension chose to focus on this area of because of the history that goes along with both Oklahoma and Texas, which are famous for their cattle heritage. A large part of this heritage was the cattle drives. Cattle drives in the late 1800's moved millions of head of cattle from central and south Texas, through western Oklahoma, to the railheads in Kansas and in some cases as far north as Montana. Two of the more famous cattle trails were the Chisholm Trail and the Great Western Trail. The Chisholm Trail started in central Texas and crossed the Red River northwest of Nocona, Texas.


It moved up through central Oklahoma near the towns of Waurika, Duncan, and Oklahoma City. The Great Western Trail began near Bandera, Texas and moved cattle through central Texas passing east of Abilene, Texas. The trail crossed into Oklahoma at the historic Doan's Crossing near Vernon, Texas and proceeded through Western Oklahoma to its conclusion near Dodge City, Kansas. The land area between these two cattle trails still record cattle movements.


Today, it is either in the mode of cow-calf operations or stocker cattle movements. This area is now the home of the Cattle Trails Wheat & Stocker Conference.


The expected audience is wheat producers and cattle managers from the Southern Oklahoma and North Texas area. The conference alternates between Oklahoma and Texas each year. In 2011, the conference will be held at the Commanche County Fairgrounds Coliseum in Lawton, Oklahoma on August 5, 2011. The registration fee is $20 per participant. This will include a noon meal, break refreshments and proceedings of the topics discussed.
