Emily Beasley’s Reserve Gilt at Georgia National came with plenty of personality — and as she told us, “Flo Milli” has been running the barn since day one.


Tell us a little bit about your champion:
My gilt’s name is Flo Milli, and from day one she has been a diva. She has always ruled our barn and is definitely the one I feed first before taking care of the rest. She is out of Cold Blooded x Tricked Out and has been very consistent since day one.

Who is somebody that helped you achieve this win?
Without my parents and Nick Mauck, none of this would have been possible. They are my biggest supporters, and I’m so grateful for them!

What was the most challenging homework you had to make up?
Learning how to use a clinometer in my forestry class. We had a test on it the day I got back, and to be honest, I still don’t know how to use one.

What was a challenge you had to overcome with your champion or at the show?
Getting my gilt comfortable in the barns and show ring. When we first arrived, she was uptight and not wanting to cooperate with me.

What’s your go-to snack in the snack tub?
Extra toasty Cheez-Its.
