Congrats to Cliff Redden at Shawnee ok show.
Clif Redden:
Thanks, Jan. Congrats to you, too on the wins on your call duck, black australorp hen and reserve AOSB on your black cockerel.
It was really good to see and visit with Paul, Angela and Matthew; Max and Tonya; Rick and Sharon; and Jan and Mike, and several other good folks.
Hi, Mike. We took a few pics of the birds. I know that Paul is planning to give a full report with pictures. I tried to attach a photo but got an error that the file was too large. Can anyone tell me what to do? Thanks.

The South-Central District Ameraucana meet was held at the Oklahoma State Poultry Federation show in Shawnee, OK. on Dec. 14, 2013.
Several records were set and history made! The open LF Ameraucana show had 49 head shown by five exhibitors from four states! All 49 were of top quality breeding status. This resulted in an excellent representation of Ameraucanas!
The black class was the largest with 27 birds by 5 exhibitors. An excellent cockerel show by Clifton Redden won BV, BB, Best AOSB, Champion LF and Show Champion. This is the first time an Ameraucana has won either Show Champion or Champion LF at Shawnee! Congratulations Clifton, and thanks for a job well done! There was 12 black cockerels shown! The RV black was the second place cockerel shown by Jan Burke. Jan’s cockerel won RB and Reserve AOSB. Another excellent representative of the Ameraucana breed!
The blue class was plentiful with 10 head shown by three exhibitors from three states. Max Strawn won BV on a cockerel and RV on a pullet.
The blue wheaten class had 5 head shown by three exhibitors from three states. Sharon Caywood won BV on a pullet and RV on a cockerel.
The Lavender-AOV class also had 5 head shown by three exhibitors from three states. The best AOV was a lavender pullet shown by Max Strawn. The RV AOV was a lavender hen shown by Clifton Redden.
The wheaten class had a pair shown by Paul & Angela Smith. The BV was their cockerel and their pullet was RV.
The junior Ameraucana LF shrunk to only Matthew Smith showing two head. Matthew’s black pullet won BB and 3rd place AOSB. Matthew’s blue pullet won RB and 4th place AOSB. I visited with Mr. McDaniel, the grandfather of two of the Jr. Ameraucana exhibitors in the past, who told me that they sold their Ameraucanas along with several other breeds as they had too many breeds to manage them properly.
Jacob Bates judged the junior show. Eric Kutch judged the open Ameraucana show. There were not any bantams shown.
More than one week of ice covered roads, cleared just in time to make this show a history maker! Thanks to all who supported it! Photos of all the BV and RV will be posted ASAP.
Mike Gilbert:
Paul, you are such a credit to the breed and to the club. I have always thought when a person starts getting defeated by his customers he has been doing a lot that is right. Thanks for the report. And Merry Christmas!
