Tell us a little about your champion:
Her name is Kim. It was special to have her this summer and win Ne State fair 4H breeding gilt show with a purebred Poland.
Both my brother, Hudsyn and I showed her this summer and between the Nebraska Swine Circuit, Summertype Ne State fair and many other shows we were able to hang 15 banners with her.
First person you hugged after your win?
My mom, Dawn. My parents are my biggest supporters.
Who is another exhibitor you admire?
I have a few families that I look up to and admire here in Nebraska. The Hannan and Hoblyn families. Brynn started the Nebraska Swine Circuit last year and has given me even more opportunities to show and compete here in Nebraska. Miles has been at shows giving me encouraging words of advice. Jessie has been there to answer any kind of questions I have had along the way. I also want to thank my Uncle Hunter for helping me find the love I have for showing pigs.
