JUNIOR OF THE YEAR

SAMANTHA JOHNSON Samantha Johnson, a freshman at Oklahoma State University, was selected as the 2016 – 2017 OKSSA Junior of the Year at the annual meeting on held October 22, 2016, in Oklahoma City.

Samantha has been raised around and been involved with Simmental cattle throughout most, if not all, of her life. Since joining the OKJSSA at the age of nine, she has actively served her fellow juniors and has held numerous positions over the years, including Junior Ambassador, Princess, Queen, Reporter, and Secretary of the Oklahoma Junior Association.

Samantha graduated from Nowata High school in May of 2017, where agriculture became the focus of her extracurricular involvement. She was active in Nowata County 4-H, and she served her local FFA chapter as Reporter, Vice President, and President. In addition, she was a member of the Nowata High School Choir and remained committed to her church youth group. Throughout high school, she earned high individual awards in the horse, livestock, and dairy judging arenas before going on to receive her Oklahoma State FFA Degree in April of 2016.

Samantha’s roots run deep in the Simmental breed, and her involvement with the breed has on numerous times moved beyond the state level. Her travels over the years have taken her to several Regional and National shows, and she has attended two Simmental Summits in Montana and Oklahoma. She continues to maintain her small Simmental cattle herd, which started with her first show heifer named Dolly that her grandparents, Harold and Carolyn Gwartney, gave her. Dolly still resides at the family farm with the rest of her Simmental cattle herd.

Samantha currently attends Oklahoma State University, where she plans to obtain her bachelor’s degree in Agricultural Business.

Our congratulations go out again to Samantha Johnson for earning the distinction of being named the 2016 – 2017 OKSSA Junior of the Year.

The honor is well-deserved, and we look forward to Samantha’s continued involvement with the association in the future.

Family of the Year

The Ison Family The OKSSA would like to congratulate the Ison family for being named the 2016 – 2017 Family of the Year. Sean and Danea—as well as their four children Rylee, Dylan, Tyler, and Kash—have been a welcome addition to the association, and their example of loving support for one another and active involvement within the association have been great reminders of the standards for which we should all strive.

Sean grew up in Madison, Indiana. After his family began raising Simmentals, he joined the American Simmental Association in the mid-1980s.

He graduated from Indiana University in 2000 with a bachelor’s degree in Biological Science.

Sean then made his way to Oklahoma, where he has continued to raise and show Simmental cattle.

Danea was raised in Cushing, Oklahoma, and went on to graduate from Rogers State College with an associate’s degree in Liberal Arts. Eight years ago, Sean and Danea blended their families, and their four children have kept them quite

22 OKSSA

busy within the association. Many miles have been driven to the numerous local, district, state, regional, and national shows over these years, and they intend to drive many more.

The Isons are invaluable contributors to the OKSSA. Sean serves on our Board of Directors, and Danea is our Junior Advisor. Sean and Danea always seek to help in any way they can, the most recent example being Sean’s assumption of Superintendent responsibilities for the Tulsa Open Show.

The OKSSA is very fortunate to have such a wonderful, hard-working family in its organization.

We appreciate them beyond measure, and our congratulations go out again to the Ison family for being named Family of the Year.
