International World Championship Cow Chip Throwing In Beaver, Oklahoma
There’s no wrong way to toss a cow turd.
I always knew that David could throw out the BS… LOL… David's father Jim Lyle was the originator of the international world championship cow chip throwing tournament.
But veterans of the World Championship Cow Chip Throwing Contest in Beaver, Oklahoma, will tell you that throwing overhanded will send it farther than a Frisbee-style fling, and a flick of the wrist at the release will help counter the persistent plains winds that threaten to send the chip out of bounds.
And they’ll tell you, if it’s your first time, that licking your fingers between throws (you get two chances) will give you good luck and a better grip.
I was invited to try my hand at throwing cow chips at the 45th annual Cow Chip Throwing Contest as a “VIP thrower,” alongside a couple of politicians, a handful of radio personalities, and an entire team of flight medics out of Liberal, Kansas.
Novice throwers generally went with the ‘bigger is better rule,’ selecting the largest chips they could find. Veterans, though, looked for ones smaller in diameter but with some heft to them and as perfectly round as possible.
We crowded, along with about 100 other participants (in addition to the VIP division, there are categories for men, women, and teams), around a red wagon piled high with dried patties of cow manure — which didn’t smell as bad as you might expect — of various shapes, sizes, and weight, searching for what we hoped would be the winning chip.
Official Cow Chip Throw rules stipulate that the chips must be more than six inches in diameter. Novice throwers generally went with the “bigger is better rule,” selecting the largest chips they could find. Veterans, though, looked for ones smaller in diameter but with some heft to them and as perfectly round as possible. They know that larger, drier chips will break apart mid-air, and they shake them with one hand to test their durability before picking, a move the rest of us mimicked. The veteran throwers were also better about keeping their mouths closed as the wind whipped through the crowd and debris flecked from the chips and went flying.
The World Championship Cow Chip Throwing Contest happens annually on the third Saturday in April, with a week of events — a tractor pull, a talent show, a golf tournament, a 5K, several concerts, a hobby and craft show, and a parade — leading up to the main event.
Beaver is cow chip country, part of the Oklahoma Panhandle, a veritable No Man’s Land, attractive only to the lawless and a handful of hardy pioneers when it was first settled in 1879.
Folks in Beaver, where cows outnumber humans 16-to-1, have been throwing cow chips at the annual Cimarron Territory Celebration since 1970. The idea for the cow chip throw was born in a Chamber of Commerce meeting. The Cimarron Territory Festival had been an annual event since 1937, but the Chamber members thought Beaver needed a gimmick to attract more visitors — and more commerce. Other Oklahoma towns had been successful with festivals centered around rattlesnakes (Okeene), roosters (Broken Arrow), and sand bass (Madill), all of which related in some way to their towns’ history and ecology.
So the chamber looked backward — to territorial days, when, legend has it, pioneer settlers burned dried buffalo chips, abundant in the area, for fuel. There weren’t many trees on those vast, open plains, but the wild buffalo were plentiful, and so families spent most of fall gathering the chips and all winter burning them for heat. The dried buffalo chips burned intense and practically odorless, producing little smoke and almost no ash.
Panhandle pioneers even made a game of gathering the chips, seeing how far they could toss them into a wagon — a true story, “as far as we know,” says current Beaver Chamber of Commerce President Abby Cash — which was what made the Chamber think a cow chip throw would be a perfectly unique way of celebrating their county’s history.
Who actually came up with the idea is up for debate. Brent Lansden, co-publisher of the Beaver Herald-Democrat, says his grandfather, Willis Lansden, who published the newspaper back then, first suggested the idea, and archived newspaper articles tend to agree.
But Dick Trippet, president of the Chamber during the first throw and present at the meeting when the idea was hatched, says it was Jim Lyle, a local banker, who launched the cow chip contest idea. According to Trippet, Lyle showed up to the meeting “a little inebriated” — “he’s no longer around so I can talk about him,” Trippet laughs — and suggested, while slurring, “We could throw cow chips.”
Trippet said Lansden ran with the idea, registering the trademark “World Championship Cow Chip Throw,” requiring other towns wanting to host an “official” regional throw to certify their events with the Beaver Chamber of Commerce. (Towns in Wisconsin, South Dakota, and Illinois host their own throws.)
The event quickly earned national and international notoriety

Camping at Lake Loramie State Park, Ohio
The campground is just outside quaint Fort Loramie, a bitty little town armed with a few bare necessities: a gas station that doubles as a grocery store, a TV repair shop, and a motel with a Dairy King out front. It’s within easy biking distance if you brought a set of wheels camping with you or you could make an afternoon of it if you opt to walk. In any case, it provides an afternoon of small-town diversion perfect for campers in the simple-life mindset.
But there’s no need to leave the campground, really. There’s a mini convenience store inside the check-in building that stocks everything from first aid supplies to candy to bait to orange juice and even offers cups of coffee and a microwave. It also happens to be where you can rent bikes, canoes and kayaks at very reasonable rates (a canoe rental only costs $6 for the first hour!). There are also basketballs, horseshoes and lawn games to borrow and there’s a volleyball court, as well. Guests can also play putt-putt on a (small, run-down) course for only $1 per game. It’s not much, but it’s something to do and the kids seemed to really enjoy it. And here’s a tip: if you plan on playing multiple times in a day or weekend, just skip the last hole that eats your ball and hang on to it until you play the last game of your stay, that way you only have to pay once!
There’s also a nature center that offers nature programs throughout the day and several playgrounds to keep the kids (or parents like my dad who love to swing as much as kids) occupied. There was even a puppet show put on by (I’m assuming) a local church on Sunday. Of course, since the campground is on a lake and in fact surrounded by a mote, there’s also a “sandy” beach for swimming and sunbathing. I say “sandy,” but really it was just fine dirt. Nevertheless, it offers a beachy atmosphere complete with picnic tables and shelters.
Campers can fish pretty much anywhere on the lake, but all that our party seemed to have luck with was river catfish. Sure you can fix them up for dinner, but they were all pretty small and taste like mud. Or so I’m told. I’ve never actually eaten a catfish from a river or lake. But if you do decide to try your hand at fishing, remember if you’re over 16 you have to have a fishing license which you can get by stopping at somewhere like Wal-mart on your way to the campground or online here. Prices start at $19 for residents and $11 for a one-day pass for visitors.
But naturally my favorite part of the trip was the kayaking. Josh and I love kayaking and so do my parents, so we were out circling the lake and conducting paddle races every day. There’s plenty of lake, so we explored a different part of it each time.
And of course there are the evening campfires for hot dog grilling and s’more making. But you can leave the Hershey’s at home. I got your new favorite concoction right here: graham crackers, marshmallow and Reese Cup. I’m obsessed with peanut butter and it makes the most amazing s’more ever! Of course, if you’re my dad, you chase your s’more with an apple or cherry pudgy pie (two slices of buttered bread with a hefty helping of apple or cherry pie filling smeared between them and cooked in a cast iron sandwich toaster which is placed into the hot coals until crispy on the outside and warm and gooey on the inside).
Not a tent and pop-up shelter kind of person? Well, fear not. There are even three little cabins on the lake equipped with air conditioning and gas grills so “roughing it” doesn’t seem so rough.
All in all, Lake Loramie State Park is a good choice if you’re looking for an off-the-beaten-path kind of adventure in Ohio. And at $24 per night for a tent sight, a heck of a lot cheaper than a hotel (and more fun). Don’t forget the bug spray!
