We caught up with Makenna Oliver to talk about a successful run with Fancy and the consistency it took to finish strong.

Tell us a little bit about your champion:
Fancy came to us from Decker Showpigs. She was a fun one to haul, winning some jackpots this winter and being named Grand Champion Gilt at our county show.

Who is somebody that helped you achieve this win?
First off, I wouldn’t be able to accomplish any of this without Dustin Ham and the team at Ham Livestock, along with breeders like Chad at Decker Showpigs for making these top-notch animals. And of course, my parents for making sure I am able to show pigs and pushing me to be my best.

What was the most challenging homework you had to make up?
Being a senior, I only have one hard class, so writing an essay in English was pretty tough.

What was a challenge you had to overcome with your champion or at the show?
Toward the end of the show season, her feet started getting a little tender, so we had to make sure to keep her on soft ground.

What’s your go-to snack in the snack tub?
Goldfish!

We caught up with Alice Nors to hear about the special family moment behind her San Angelo success.

Tell us a little bit about your champion:
It was a special win for me and my family because it was my brother’s pig until two weeks before San Angelo. We feel like the stars aligned with me showing it.

Who is somebody that helped you achieve this win?
My dad, Joshua Nors.

What was the most challenging homework you had to make up?
A practice state test for English and multiple math lessons.

What was a challenge you had to overcome with your champion or at the show?
It was a challenge because I had never shown at San Angelo before, so it was all new to me.

What’s your go to snack in the snack tub?
