I hope this finds you and your herds both happy and healthy. My name is Cheyenne Sparks and I am your new Oklahoma CattleWomen President.

I look forward to meeting and interacting with as many members as possible through local, district and state events this year. For now, here is a bit about me. I grew up in south central Oklahoma on a little-bit-of-everything ranch. You know the kind. We raised every cattle breed, took in every stray and were never without a good horse to get the job done. One thing that was always consistent was the love of the land and the animals that populated it. My husband, Landon, and I are in the beginning stages of our own herd that I am sure will be much the same. We have made our home in Blanchard, OK with our two little top hands, Laramie and Clay.

We’ve got an exciting year ahead so let’s dive right in. For my presidency I have chosen the theme of #cultivatingcattlewomen as we strive to cultivate knowledgeable and successful ranchers through hands-on training and experiences.

I am excited to announce that the sponsor for my presidential term is Shorty’s Caboy Hattery located in the Historic Stockyards City. Shorty and her team have been creating custom handmade quality western hats for the agricultural community for over 30 years. With their support, the goal of cultivating cattlewomen will go from a dream to a reality. Be on the look-out for event and training announcements coming to your inbox real soon.

There are a few events I am especially looking forward to this fall including the rescheduled Cattle Industry Convention, August 8th-12th in Nashville, TN, the OCW Dinner Around the World on September 17th in Arcadia, OK and the Tulsa Beef Tent coming up soon. I am also looking forward to attending as many local and district meetings as I possibly can.

If you have an event you would like OCW to be present at please send event details to okcattlewomen@gmail.com.

Again, I look forward to serving as your OCW President and I hope to see y’all real soon. Wishing you all the beef and blessings!

Cheyenne Sparks
