Competing with my prospect steer at a major cattle show, OKC Cattlemen’s Congress

JANUARY 1-16, 2022
OKLAHOMA CITY, OKLAHOMA

A NEW TRADITION
The Cattlemen’s Congress is a stock show for cattlemen and women managed by cattlemen and women. The Cattlemen’s Congress is an opportunity for breeders across North America to showcase their top genetics and connect with fellow beef producers in a central location, in the heart of cattle country.

In 2020, the Cattlemen’s Congress was created by a group of visionaries led by Mr. Bob Funk. It’s goal was to provide a world class event specifically designed for cattlemen and women to gather, showcase and market their elite cattle genetics. The Inaugural Cattlemen’s Congress was held in January 2021 and brought nearly 10,000 head of cattle, more than 2,700 exhibitors and thousands of producers to one place, which in turn created record breaking National Sales in its inaugural year.

The Cattlemen’s Congress is excited to welcome everyone back to the 2022 Cattlemen’s Congress, here in Oklahoma City, January 1-16, 2022.

Hey Guys!! My name is Dani, I am a 15-year-old horseman and livestock showman. I've been around horses my entire life and have shown them for 12 years, I started showing cattle fall of 2017 and sheep spring of 2019. This quickly became my favorite to do! I've been making YouTube videos for the past 8 years and have always dreamt of becoming a content creator!

Putting on the flare at the end is my favorite part of getting my heifers ready for show day!!!❤

[cindyshaw]

Placing top 10 at a national show is always a win in my book, congratulations!

[corapeg]

Great job I won with my short horn hiefer at the state fair and point shows also and I was really proud of myself that I won a jacket and belt buckle and banner

[lolbit]

Dani you look so much like your mother! And I love how far you came! You are doing amazing! Keep up the hard work!

[caseyscattle]

Going to the NWSS is on my bucket list! I was hoping to go with my grandparents this year but had to farm sit while they went, on the bright side I was able to watch the livestreams for all of the highland cattle shows and will watch the sale tomorrow!

[pamelaforrest]

You were in deep water for a second show - good job!

[widowrumstrypze]

[brandymcfall]

[Ashtonblack]

[Twinzfineu]

[Mssy_therian]

I have a cow getting ready for a show too her name is pixie dust named after her mom

[DoubleB]

I run barrels there all the time love that area 🤍

[tammiekanters]

Just watched a heap of your videos. I have a steer, he is 8 months old, he has started pushing me with his horns, how do you stop this behaviour? He is halter trained and does it when I lead him.

[pulseflo]

You did a great job! Never show with a hat though. Small things, big improvements!

[WangTmg]

Wait so they pee by moving sticks over the body? Woah!
