I came on board 15th Street Veterinary Group in October of 2007. Then, in the spring of 2004, I sat for and passed the National & Oklahoma State Boards to become a Registered Veterinary Technician. I attended the TCC Vet Tech Program while working full time and received an Associates Degree in Veterinary Sciences. After a dozen years of boarding facilities, hospitals, the Tulsa Zoo, and some area shelters, I decided that I wanted a formal education to coincide with my life experiences. I loved being surrounded by animals, so I applied at a small Veterinary Clinic where I began learning from the ground up. In 1994, I lived on a horse ranch in South Tulsa caring for boarders and a small barrel racing arena. I returned to Oklahoma and worked in wholesale or retail sales for over a decade. I grew up in the shadow of the DX refinery, then spent 4 years in the Air Force. Two cousins, Trevor Henderson of the JC Ranch and Ty Brzozowski of South Texas Cattle Marketing scored a 76 and 73, respectively, in the wild bronc ride event.I have lived in Tulsa for most of my life. The Y Bar Ranch finished first and took the overall title. The third and final event was wild bronc riding. Cows utilized in the milking contest were seen again in this event. The Solomon Land & Cattle Co.’s time of 51.31 seconds led the double-mugging round, followed by the 4-L’s time of 67.88.ĭouble-mugging is similar to calf-roping, with a twist - two different sizes of cattle are released at the same time, from two different chute locations, making for speed and confusion. This beat the 4-L’s second-place time of 36.81, and Wexford’s time of 40.62. Y Bar’s time of 31.50 seconds in the wild-cow milking contest garnered a first-place finish. In two of the three final events - ranch bronc riding and wild-cow milking - the Y Bar Ranch took first place. The first- and second-place finishers in the first three events joined the Wexford Ranch of Victoria to advance to the finals. The JC Ranch again took first place, followed by the Solomon Land & Cattle Co. The final event in the preliminaries was the branding contest. The team’s goal is to lasso a steer and persuade the animal onto the trailer in the fastest time. The 4L Ranch led the pack in the trailer-loading contest, followed by the Y Bar Ranch. He then races toward a barrel, rounds it, and heads back to the trailer to return his “squealing buddy” to his teammates, to be placed back in the trailer. The mounted horseman is handed the sack containing the hog. All members except one dismount, enter the trailer, catch the assigned hog, and put the animal in a burlap sack. In this timed event, teams mounted on horseback ride toward a trailer containing numbered wild hogs. Coming in second was Stockdale’s South Texas Cattle Marketing. In the first of the three preliminary events, JC Ranch of Nixon led the way in the hog-sacking contest - a Nixon-Smiley Livestock Show “signature” event. Thirteen teams competed in the preliminary round of the rodeo, with $250 in prize money awarded in each event. of Falfurrias and South Texas Cattle Marketing also received bids of $1,000 or more. The Y Bar Ranch was the top recipient in the auction, or rodeo Calcutta, with a bid of $1,350. Proceeds of the Wild Hog Cook-off & Ranch Rodeo support the FFA, Family Career and Community Leaders Association, and 4-H programs of the Nixon-Smiley Consolidated Independent School District.
