Years ago, we talked about adding a Hall of Fame section to Oklahomashowgoats.com.\u00a0 Now, there is no longer an oklahomashowgoats.com but I think that there should still be a Hall of Fame.\u00a0 Probably ought to be a HOF for people that posted on the message board as well.\u00a0 Now, remember that this is an Oklahoma HOF.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
First inductee–Kela Kelln–The OG of this show goat deal in Oklahoma.\u00a0 Yeah, I’m partial but I am also right.\u00a0 The original owner of the site that helped pull the goat industry onto the internet.\u00a0 She put on show clinics all across Oklahoma.\u00a0 She changed the way goats were shown as she added style and showmanship to a “chain” show yet she also succeeded at bracing shows.\u00a0 There are numerous HOFers that learned by watching her.\u00a0 The first ever to host an online goat sale.\u00a0 The first ever to win the Woodward District wether show.\u00a0 The first ever to win the Northwest District Show (Enid).\u00a0 \u00a0Throw in a state fair grand, OYE reserve grand, Phoenix reserve grand, numerous other division winners at Tulsa, OYE, KC, etc. and countless showmanship wins.\u00a0 It is a direct line to others like the Schovanec’s, Mercedes Hardin, Bree Taylor, Chance Greenroyd, Lexi Vanderwork, Chesley Comstock, Duke Kelln, etc.\u00a0 Yes, that was a different era & time, yet she would still be on top of the game.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Mercedes Hardin–the Babe Ruth of the Oklahoma show goat industry.\u00a0 And she would be one of the all-time greats across the country.\u00a0 2 grands and\u00a0 a res. grand at OYE, a grand and reserve at Tulsa, a grand and reserve at the American Royal, a grand and reserve grand at Denver, a grand at the Lone Star Elite.\u00a0 Throw in some state fair wins and other premium sale stuff.\u00a0 This chick was tough to beat.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Kaitlyn Merriman–the original dominant force in the Oklahoma doe showing scene.\u00a0 Won Tulsa, won OYE a couple of times.\u00a0 Oh, she also won several wether shows.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Stasha Harp–Was not a factor at every show, but she always seemed to find magic in that OYE ring.\u00a0 One does not have to have huge success when they have had two grand wethers and a reserve grand wether at OYE.\u00a0 That is a resume unto itself.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There is your inaugural class.\u00a0 This will be an ongoing project.<\/p>\n
Why?<\/p>\n
Why not?<\/p>\n
