The Oklahoma Youth Expo is the World’s Largest Junior Livestock Show and truly is The Greatest Show. Every March more than 7,000 4-H and FFA members bring more than 13,000 head of cattle, sheep, pigs, goats and ag mechanics projects to Oklahoma City to exhibit their projects.
OYE places these young future leaders under the spotlight, allowing them to showcase their projects and months of dedication, allowing them to compete head-to-head with fellow exhibitors for the title of Grand Champion.
The Oklahoma Youth Expo is open to all Oklahoma 4-H and FFA members ages eight to 19. OYE along with 4-H and FFA create opportunities for our State’s youth to build life skills, which extend far beyond the showring, the barn or the shop. They learn how to care for something other than themselves. They are committed to completing a project, understanding that the more effort they put into their livestock or mechanics projects, the better the outcome in the end. They also learn to value teamwork.
Together, these skills not only serve them well during their time showing livestock and fabricating projects in the barn or shop, but these skills also make them highly sought after once graduating. These life skills shape, for many, the perfect employee. They’re dedicated, committed young adults who understand and appreciate the value of hard work, determination and ingenuity.
The Oklahoma Youth Expo annually awards nearly $2 million to exhibitors, more than $300,000 in academic scholarships and has a $25 million economic impact on the Oklahoma City Metroplex.
