What sorted the closest call for you?
I thought there were a couple of dark cross classes where the top 3 or 4 barrows were very competitive. Squareness of build, stoutness & shape, while being balanced were the deciding factors.

What breed/class surprised you the most?
While the dark crosses had the most classes, I thought they were also the deepest breed. The eventual Grand & Res Grand overall came out of the last two classes of the show.

What was your first impression of the eventual Grand Champion?
Stud! A pig that presented a great first impression as he came through the initial sift pen and was even more impressive in the big ring!

If you could pick a walk-out song, what would it be?
Austin played a lot of good music during the show while sifting and judging the classes!

Caffeine pick-me-up of choice:
Sweet tea or Mt. Dew

Best meal you ate:
Pappadeaux with the whole family!
