Queen - Lacy Talley
Lacy Talley is the 15-year-old daughter of Tommy and Lori Talley. She is from Hobart Ok, and is the 5th generation in her family to be a part of the agriculture and beef industry. Lacy has grown up and lived on her family farm where they have and own Hereford cattle. She has a Hereford cow-calf herd started, and is currently showing Hereford heifers. Lacy's plans are to increase her cow-calf operations by breeding her show heifers, in order to improve quality of her cattle and increase her herd to a larger size. Lacy possess strong leadership skills and has the heart and desire to be more involved in the agriculture and Hereford industry. As the Oklahoma Hereford Queen, she desires to be a positive asset to a strong organization. She has short term and long term goals with her agriculture and beef project, one of which is to represent the Oklahoma Hereford Association as the next Queen.
Princess - Emmy Banks
Emmy is the 12-year-old daughter of Brian and Chrissy Banks. She is from Ada and attends school at Vanoss Middle School. Emmy is actively involved in 4-H, Ada Area Round Up Club, and the JHAO. She is looking forward to representing the Oklahoma Hereford Association as the next OHA Princess.
Sweetheart: Layton Strate
Layton is the 8-year-old daughter of Justin and Lexi Strate. Layton loves the Hereford breed because they are gentle, friendly, and always look so pretty with their red bodies and white faces. Working with her Hereford heifer has taught her responsibility, patience, and how to work hard, even when things don’t go exactly as planned. Layton love being in the barn every day, brushing her, practicing showmanship, and learning more about cattle from other Hereford families. The Hereford Association feels like her second family because everyone encourages her, cheers for her, and helps her become a better showman and a better person even when she is not exhibiting Herefords. As the OHA Sweetheart she will be given the opportunity to represent a breed she loves, help other younger kids feel welcome, and show how proud she is to be part of the Hereford family.
