Hello, My name is Carl
Venable from Verden, Oklahoma. I am a former Agriculture Education
instructor and currently an Extension Educator. My wife (Pam)
is a fourth grade teacher within the Verden School system. Both
of my daughters, Danielle and Brittany, are in FFA and 4-H while
playing softball and Basketball. As you can see, we are just
a normal family who try to excel in life just like many of you.

We have been
raising cattle for over 30 years while concentrating on raising
the best Shorthorn show steers in America. Our competitive nature
has resulted in Champion show steers in Texas, Oklahoma, Kansas,
Colorado, New Mexico, Missouri, Iowa, Wisconsin, Indiana, Ohio,
and California. |

We
are the most proud of three wins which include Res. Grand, Texas
State Fair, Res. Grand at the San Antonio Stock Show, and 3 Res.
Grand Prospects in 3 different years at the Junior National Shorthorn
Shows. |

Part
of Danielle and Brittany's 4-H and FFA projects include showing
lambs at all levels. Danielle and Brittany have made the premium
sale at the American Royal, Tulsa State fair, and the Oklahoma
Junior Expo. Some of their lambs have been home raised. One of
the highlites of their early career was that both were showing
for the Grand Drive at the 2002 Oklahoma junior Expo. It is considered
the largest |
|
Junior
show in America. Pam and I were extremely proud of their accomplishment.
Their breeding program has progressed to the point that their
lambs were sold to 7 different states in 2002. They will continue
to show their lambs in the future. If you know anyone looking
for show lambs, send them our way.

This
brings us to why we are getting into the bucking bull business.
The lord blessed us with an offer we could not refuse in selling
the shorthorns and For two years we have been raising cattle
commercially. We have no intentions of contracting rodeo stock,
but we would like to raise a few outstanding bulls for the futurities
and possibly on a more prominent scene such as the NFR and PBR.
I hope that our cattle experience and knowledge of genetics will
help us make some positive decisions in this business. I also
need to thank everyone that Has spent time with me while I was
learning about the bucking bull genetics. We feel that we have
a nice start selecting females from Marty Foutch and Glen Carlton.
I appreciate their help and advise.
As you
can see, I am full of Bull and should fit in well with all the
other bucking bull producers. We look forward to meeting each
of you and hope that you stop by and see us sometime.
