2024 FARM FAMILY

2023 - Monk

Randy and Janet were both and raised in Mayes County, Oklahoma.  They met in high school and married in 1976.  Both were involved in 4-H and Ag.  Randy was in FFA throughout high school, is a team roper and won the USTRC in 1992.  Jan was a 4-H leader and their son Nathan and his boys all carried on the tradition of raising and showing their animals at the fair, and still continue to enjoy team roping.

2022 - Thorne

Thorne Ranch was established in Mayes County in 1963, when the Thorne family purchased 1,500 acre ranch three miles northeast of Adair, OK. Primarily purchased for summer grazing for stocker feeder cattle, they kept a full time employee, Pat Spaulding for twenty years. Albert (Abbie) grew up on the family ranch roping and doctoring calves near Canadian Texas and graduated from Texas Tech with a Ag Ed Degree. Abbie was back and forth between Thorne Ranch in Texas and Oklahoma until 1983, when he moved permanently to Oklahoma.
