We are excited to announce that through our partnership with CoBank and their Sharing Success program, we've contributed $10,000 to the Tuttle FFA Sr. Livestock Judging Team. The funds will be used to offset expenses for a two-week trip to represent the United States at the 2026 International Royal Highland Livestock Judging Contest in Scotland and Ireland. Team members include: Olivia Calcote, Jordyn Jackson, Kobi Scroggins, and Zane Burton. Together they have excelled in competitions across Oklahoma, Arizona, Kansas, Iowa, and Colorado, earning numerous titles, including the Tulsa State Fair— the qualifying event for the National Western Stock Show where they earned the title of Reserve National Champion Livestock Judging Team.
“Our team is grateful to be the recipient of these funds. These students have demonstrated work ethic, leadership, and a commitment to representing their community with integrity. I’m so very proud of this group and truly appreciate the support that Farm Credit and CoBank has shown,” said C.L. McGill, Agricultural Education Instructor and FFA Advisor at Tuttle Public Schools.
Investing in agricultural youth is an investment in the future of rural communities in western Oklahoma. We are proud to help provide these young agriculturalists with this once‑in‑a‑lifetime opportunity in partnership with our friends at CoBank.
