You often hear our board and staff talk about "One Pork," Oklahoma Pork’s mission to serve everyone from a first-time 4-H exhibitor to the largest commercial pork producer in the state. Last week, that mission came to life during a full day of central Oklahoma show pig farm visits led by Dr. Suzanne Genova, Oklahoma Pork president-elect and one of the most respected show pig veterinarians in Oklahoma and across the United States.

The tour highlighted the depth and diversity of Oklahoma’s exhibition swine community. We began near Wellston with visits to Sixty Six Ventures and Coulson Show Pigs hosted by Evan Green. From there, we traveled to the Jones FFA barn, where Brandon Stallings is doing outstanding work preparing students for success both in and beyond the show ring. In El Reno, Tanner and Sam Winter welcomed us to their operation, where they are raising their family, managing a boar stud, and supporting fellow exhibitors through feed sales. The day concluded at the Yukon FFA barn, where students are preparing for the upcoming Oklahoma Youth Expo.

The locations we visited fall under Dr. Genova’s veterinary oversight. The day was a powerful reminder that “One Pork” is more than a message. It is a commitment in action showing up across farms, generations, and Oklahoma communities.
