Morrison FFA Wins the 2016 Tulsa Farm Show Livestock Handling Skills Contest

Sun, 11 Dec 2016 21:32:21 CST

Morrison FFA placed third in the Tulsa Farm Show Livestock Handling Skills Contest a year ago- and they qualified and returned in 2016- this time winning the overall competition as well as placing first in the Cattle Skills part of the competition. For the first time, participants were recognized separately for the Presentation Board they were asked to make and exhibit the morning of the contest this past Friday- and then for the actual working of two calves in the Skills Contest. The contest emphasizes safe, humane handling of livestock. In a timed event, three-person teams are judged on their ability to administer a vaccination, ear tag and check the temperature of the animal.


Morrison won the Skills Contest as well as the overall competition, with Zane Hilbig, Clint Stout and Brantley Cox making up the three person team for Morrison FFA. For the first time, the winners of the Skills Competition earned their chapter a special $500 grant from the Tulsa Farm Show named after Frank Elliott, who helped establish the contest at the Tulsa Farm Show several years ago. The $500 can be used by the winning Chapter in any way they choose.


The primary sponsor for the contest is the American Farmers & Ranchers.


The Second Place Team overall and in the Livestock Handling segment was the Locust Gove FFA Chapter- team members included Colt Cunningham, Rhett Piersley and Sky Hoot.


The Third Place Team overall and in the Livestock Handling segment was Madill FFA with team members Rio Bonham, Camille Martinez and Caleb Nixon.


Madill FFA topped the Table Top Board Presentation, with Pawnee FFA placing second and Crescent FFA claiming third in this portion of the contest.


Here are the teams as they placed in the overall contest, from first to tenth:


1. Morrison FFA

2. Locust Grove FFA

4. Pawnee FFA

5. Crescent FFA

6. Perkins- Tryon FFA
