The Southwestern Breeders Cup will be awarded to the Grand Champion Female of the show. Inscribed on the trophy are the names of the Foundation Brown Swiss Breeders. These breeders, some who are no longer with us, were instrumental in the progression of the Brown Swiss breed in the surrounding states. Each year there will be names added to the trophy. If you have suggestions, please let us know. Click on Foundation Breeders to view the booklet.
Welcome to the most unique national show you will attend anywhere! It is the only all Brown Swiss Sale & Show in the nation! The Oklahoma Brown Swiss Association is proud to host the Southwestern National Brown Swiss Show in conjunction with the Heart of America Expo and sale. This will be the 19th year to be held at the Payne County Expo Center in Stillwater OK. The competition and prizes keep growing - 129 head were exhibited in 2023!
We ask for your cooperation as we strive to make this show the most enjoyable family function you can attend. All the meals are provided for the exhibitors, guests, sponsors and crews. There are no passes to buy, no parking fees, and the first bedding for the cattle is provided free. This all happens only because of the generosity, hard work, commitment, time, effort and money donated each year!
So, plan to attend the 2024 HOA Expo, the Southwestern National Brown Swiss show and other fun-filled events October 14-20, 2024!
