He's a young Chihuahua mix over at the Okmulgee Humane Society, and he is... a lot of fun. Curious. Gentle. Funny. Quiet.

Basically everything you'd want in a four-legged roommate.

He's already house-trained (seriously, skip that whole puppy phase), vaccinated, great with kids, and has zero special needs.

He's young, he's healthy, and he's just waiting for someone to give him a chance.

Now, he hasn't been around a ton of other dogs or cats yet, so if you've got a full house of pets, that's worth asking the shelter about.

But given how calm and adaptable he is at his age, the team over there is feeling pretty optimistic.

He's small (under 25 lbs), brown and cream, and honestly... he sounds like exactly the kind of dog that sneaks right into your heart before you even realize it's happening.

If you've been thinking about adding a dog to your family, Wally might be your guy.

Why did the Okmulgee chicken join a band?

Because it had the drumsticks!

Most of us have walked, fished, or driven past the Deep Fork National Wildlife Refuge without thinking twice about what might be buried out there.

Turns out — quite a bit.

Before Deep Fork became a protected wildlife refuge, it was oil country. Wells were drilled as far back as 1918. When production ended, most of them were just... left. No cap. No cleanup. Some got swallowed by the river itself.

One nonprofit decided that wasn't good enough.

The Well Done Foundation has been on a mission since 2019 to plug every orphaned oil well in America. And last year they brought that mission right here to Okmulgee — literally. They opened a field office in town, launched a marine operation on the

Deep Fork River, and in the past year alone they've sealed 30 wells inside the refuge.

They've got 80+ more to go. And they're not slowing down.

This is one of the most interesting things happening in our community right now — and most people don't even know about it.

No Tulsa drive. No half-day gone before you even start. Just local equipment, ready when you are.

You know exactly what I'm talking about.

The project that needed a skid steer or an excavator... but wasn't worth the half-day drive to Tulsa just to rent one.

The job that kept getting pushed back because by the time you got home with the equipment, there wasn't enough day left to finish it.

A lot of Okmulgee projects have been sitting on that back burner for exactly that reason.

That just changed.

SME Rental opened a new location right here in Okmulgee (part of the Stewart Martin Kubota family that's been serving Green Country since 1929).

Skid steers, excavators, backhoes, compact tractors, loaders, handheld tools. Daily, weekly, or monthly rentals. And delivery available if you need it.

No more Tulsa drive. No more waiting in line. No more racing daylight because half your day was already gone before you started.

Whatever you've been putting off... it might finally be time to get it done.

Spring breeding season is underway across Okmulgee County, making bull selection one of the most critical and costly choices producers face each year.

A single bull can service up to 30 cows, directly influencing a herd’s genetics and long-term profitability.

Choosing the right bull means better calves and healthier returns, while the wrong pick can cause years of setbacks.

Before turning a bull out, producers are urged to schedule a Breeding Soundness Exam (BSE) at least 61 days in advance to guarantee reproductive fitness.

Reviewing Expected Progeny Differences (EPDs) helps match bulls to specific operation goals—from calving ease to improved growth.

Local support is available—the Okmulgee County OSU Extension Office offers expert, research-based guidance to assist both new and experienced cattle producers throughout this important season.

Take action early, utilize EPDs, and rely on local resources for a successful spring breeding season.
