Oklahoma Pork Council

For the first time, Joe Locke, a commercial pork producer and current Oklahoma Pork president, had the honor of presenting the 2025 Oklahoma Youth Expo Grand Barrow Trophy—a symbol of hard work, dedication, and excellence in Oklahoma’s swine industry. At Oklahoma Pork, we proudly represent all pig farmers. No matter the size of the farm or the experience level, we are united in our mission to support and uplift every Oklahoman who raises pigs. We are proud to be ONE PORK. Learn more at okpork.org/onepork

Did you know 1 in 7 Oklahoma families face food insecurity? Our Oklahoma pig farmers are committed to ensuring safe, affordable, and accessible pork for those in need. At Oklahoma Pork, we believe that no family should go hungry. We care to make a difference, one meal at a time!

??? SUNDAY SHOUTOUT to the wonderful swine barn volunteers at the 2025 Oklahoma Youth Expo. This dedicated team ensured every detail ran smoothly, creating a memorable experience for exhibitors, families, and supporters alike. Their hard work represents the spirit of Oklahoma agriculture—community, commitment, and passion. We’re proud to be a part of the world’s largest junior livestock show and even prouder to have such an extraordinary crew making it all happen.

Hands-on learning was the name of the game at the OSU ExpOSUre: Livestock Docs event at the Oklahoma Youth Expo! The Oklahoma Pork Council was proud to lead a biosecurity workshop, providing valuable insights to livestock enthusiasts and future livestock veterinarians. Partnering with Oklahoma State College of Veterinary Medicine to educate and inspire is always a rewarding experience, and it was inspiring to see so many young people passionate about animal care.

Another fantastic year at the Diamond Hats This One's for the Girls event at the Oklahoma Youth Expo! We're proud to continue our longstanding involvement in the event, supporting these incredible young women who represent the future of Oklahoma agriculture. Each year, we're inspired by their dedication and passion and this year was no different with a group of "Gifted" young people who have some pretty big dreams! Thank you, Diamond Hats, for another amazing event.

That’s a wrap on the Legislative Showmanship Contest at the Oklahoma Youth Expo! Last night, Oklahoma’s lawmakers stepped into the show ring and showcased their competitive spirit with enthusiasm and fun. Thank you to our incredible legislative participants for supporting Oklahoma’s youth and the livestock industry.

Today, we celebrate #NationalAgDay and the farmers & pork professionals, educators & even youth exhibitors who are the heart of the industry. From the farm to the fair & beyond, we are stronger together. Together, we are One Pork. Together, we are Oklahoma agriculture. #AgDay25

Spring Break in Hawaii? No, OYE! Market week at the Oklahoma Youth Expo is in full swing, and we are excited to celebrate the best of Oklahoma’s youth and agriculture. Today, we cheered on participants in the Pork Partners Derby and purebred barrow exhibitors. What a day to remember!

Just like us, sometimes pigs get sick. Our pig farmers prioritize their pigs' health by working with veterinarians to determine the best care. They utilize antibiotics responsibly and only when necessary, always adhering to FDA guidelines.

Our hearts are with those affected by yesterday’s devastating wind and fire event. We’re working alongside partners across the state to provide assistance and free pork meals to those in need and we will post details here as we finalize details. If you or someone you know needs support, please reach out to us at [email protected]. We’re here for you. #OklahomaStrong
