September 20, 2013 - The Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association will be serving ribeye steak sandwiches at the Tulsa State Fair again this year.  The infamous Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association ribeye steak sandwich was voted favorite fair food at the 2012 Tulsa State Fair.  Thank you to all the beef lovers that came by the OCA Beef Tent last year and we look forward to seeing you again at the 2013 Tulsa State Fair.

"I always look forward to working in the beef tent and hearing customers say that they have been looking forward to a ribeye steak sandwich since last year's fair," said Rowdy Fewell of the Muskogee County Cattlemen's Association.

In addition to feeding hungry fair goers, the OCA Beef Tent is a great marketing opportunity for beef. 

"We reach folks at the fair that we may never reach in any other marketing venues," said Fewell. "Priced at $6, our signature sandwich is a bargain.  Besides that, it is a healthy meal packed with zinc, iron and protein."

The recipe for grilling these mouthwatering steaks has not changed, so be sure to stop by the Beef Tent, located just outside of the Oklahoma Ford Dealers Barn at the Tulsa Fairgrounds between Sept. 26 and Oct. 6.

The OCA Beef Tent is managed by the staff of the Oklahoma Cattlemen's Association.  Throughout the course of the fair, the Oklahoma CattleWomen, several county cattlemen's associations as well as OSU Collegiate Cattlemen and CattleWomen provide man power to serve customers.

"It's very rewarding to beef producers, like myself, to visit with satisfied customers.  Ranching is not an easy occupation, but hearing so many positive comments about our product (beef)  is refreshing and motivates me to continue setting the standard high when it comes to caring for my beef cattle," explained Fewell.

The OCA exists to support and defend the state and nation's beef cattle industry. The OCA officers, board of directors and membership encourages you to join us in our advocacy efforts to ensure less government intervention, lower taxes and a better bottom line.
