TGS | We're Going to the Other Side

A third-generation cattlewoman raised in Sweetwater, Oklahoma, Chloe Sue McEntire has lived a life full of ranching Red Angus cattle, competing in sports, and spending time with family. One of her newest designations, and one she is humbled to claim, is Champion Charolais steer at the 2023 Oklahoma Youth Expo.

For McEntire, having success in the Big House has been a lifelong dream of hers. Being awarded a ride in the prestigous OYE limo prior to the Grand Drive is a moment she claims she will never forget, and for reasons other than her champion title.

“It wasn’t just a win to me,” McEntire said. “The most meaningful part of it all was how big of a moment it was for my immediate family and show family. We got to see the hard work all of us put in day after day pay off, whether it was with a ribbon or not,” she added.

As a young student who began showing steers and heifers at just eight years old, her biggest and boldest dream has always been to make her time in the ring count. As she approached turning 18 years old and embarked on her last OYE, she said the vision has remained the same throughout her time in the ring: to “go out with a bang and push my hardest to make it count.”
