It’s wintertime and the winds are blowingIt’s 2 degrees, and oh yes, it’s snowing.
Our heifers are calving and I hope they don’t have trouble,
Most roads are closed, and if we had good luckIt would burst our bubble.
Schools are closed and churches are too,Our tractor has a flat tire
Good thing we put out a good amount of hayWhich our cattle have come to desire.
We’ll get out the dominos and play a few games,This will make the time go by.
Wait, there’s a knock on the doorand I can’t imagine why.
A load of people got stuckand need a place to stay,
I don’t know why they would be outin weather like we have today.
Well that miracle has happened,We are pleased as we can be.
They are carrying a load of foodand they brought it to you and me.
They can stay as long as they want to,We are full as we can be.
Winters can be bad and miracles do happenAs you can plainly see.
Wintertime Miracle

oF THE Y E A r
JUNIOR
Yes…it’s our very own Perri Brook McGill. I say “our” as we, the OKSSA have watched her grow and mature into an awesome young lady. To say she is active in most everything under the sun, would be a complete understatement. Perri has not only excelled in her studies and sports teams, she has brought home numerous cattle and FFA awards over the years. She was chosen as the OKSSA 2013-2014 Junior of the Year at the annual meeting in July. Perri was awarded the Silver Award at the 2013 Jr Nationals, served as secretary of the OKJSSA for five years, and currently serves
as president of the organization. Congratulations go out once again to Perri McGill as being named the 2013-2014 OKSSA Junior of the Year.

In 2009, Tom and Tricia returned to the place their journey began….Stillwater, Oklahoma.
Tom grew up in Eaton, OH where he worked on the family farm. He was very active in 4-H, FFA and served on the Simmental Junior Board. Tricia moved to Oklahoma with her family in 1977 and called Tulsa home. She was the city girl who loved the country.
Tom and Tricia met in Stillwater while attending OSU and married in 1987. While at OSU, Tom was a member of the Livestock and Meats Judging Teams.
Their son Tyler was born in 1989 and daughter Shannon in 1993. Both children have been very active in 4-H, FFA and Simmental events throughout the years attending numerous local, regional and national events. Tyler and Shannon both served on the AJSA Board of Trustees. Tyler was AJSA President and Shannon was Vice President of Leadership. Tyler and Shannon both served on the OKJSSA Board as well.
Tyler graduated from OSU in 2012 with a BS in Animal Science. He was a member of the OSU Livestock and Meats Judging Teams. He resides in Loveland, CO and works for JBS USA. Shannon is currently a junior at OSU majoring in Food Science with a Science Option as well as a minor is Animal Science. Shan-non was a member of the OSU Meats Judging team as well as numerous campus organizations.
The Whites have been involved in the Simmental breed since Tom’s days as AJSA advisor. They started their Simmental breeding program back in 1997 with the purchase of Tyler’s first show heifer. Since returning to Oklahoma, they have expanded their breeding program. Tom is a member of the OKSSA Board. He and Tricia are active in the OKSSA and enjoy helping where ever they can.
