Age: 17

Grade: 11th 

What made winning at this Show Special for you?
Winning on the green shavings has always been a huge dream of mine, having the reserve breeding gilt and winning showmanship was truly a dream come true.

Do you get nervous?
Oh 100%, but me and my brother Dylan have a certain handshake that helps to settle the nerves.

If you could build your dream trailer what would it include?
My dream trailer would be a 10 pen Gooseneck with Werm flooring, White exterior and interior, A/C, Heater, radio, and obviously a couch in the tack room.

What was the most special thing about your champion?
Prada was definitely born to be a show pig and as soon as she hit the ring she knew it was go time.

Most used product/item at a show in the showbox:
Zip-ties. I don’t think we could ever have enough Zip-ties.

Who is your favorite judge? Why?
This is definitely a tough question. I may be a little Bias after NAILE, but I definitely think Todd and Brett Beyers have a good eye for livestock. However, there are so many talented judges in this industry that I look up to.

Favorite breed to show? Why?
Cross, I’ve always had a special place in my heart for a good cross.

Favorite Pump Up Song:
Definitely “Thunderstruck”
