Tommy Glover of Elgin 4-H Shows Grand Champion Market Steer at 2016 Tulsa State Fair

Tommy Glover of Elgin 4-H  Shows Grand Champion Market Steer at 2016 Tulsa State Fair


The 2016 Tulsa State Fair Night of Champions spotlighted eight young 4-H and FFA members from across Oklahoma who showed the Grand or Reserve Grand Champion in one of the four species that are a part of the annual Junior Market Animal Show of the fair. Judges looked at 771 market lambs, 718 market hogs, 446 meat goats and 148 market steers to arrive at the animals that were a part of the Night of Champions. Pictures from the Night of Champions as well as the Premium Auction of the Market Animal Show can be seen in the 2016 Tulsa State Fair Flickr Album by clicking here.


In the Market Steer competition, Judge Mark Hoge of Illinois told the audience that there were several of the breed winners that he felt could be used to top the show- but liked the Chianina Champion and called the steer owned by Tommy Glover of Elgin 4-H his Grand Champion of the 2016 State Fair. Glover's mom, Jamie Walker Glover, showed the Grand Champion Steer at the Tulsa Show exactly twenty years ago- in 1996. Glover's Chianina Steer will lead off the Premium Auction on Thursday afternoon. Hoge called the top Maine Anjou of the show, owned by Allyson Arthur of Chickasha 4-H, as his Reserve Grand Champion of the 2016 State Fair.

The top animals in all four species will be featured at the Junior Livestock Auction and Gala on Thursday afternoon at 5:00 PM in the Ford Truck Arena. The most superior animals will be showcased in the annual Tulsa State Fair Junior Livestock Auction, which rewards these victorious individuals for their hard work and accomplishments.  Not only does the Tulsa State Fair Livestock Shows provide our youth and opportunity to advance their knowledge and careers, but at the same time teach virtues such as hard work, dedication, responsibility, loyalty, pride, and teamwork which prepare them for any future endeavor.   The Tulsa State Fair is committed to providing today's youth an opportunity to seek a future in agriculture and promoting continued education.


According to the Tulsa State Fair website, $610,000 was raised for Oklahoma youth in 2015. We expect that later today, the Premium Sale lineup will be available online at the Tulsa State Fair website- click here for the section on the Junior Livestock Show Auction.
