Pedigree/Genetics of Champion:

What's your favorite sow on the farm?
The 6-6 Shotgun Wedding sow will always be the one that got us started and gave us a foothold in this industry. I’m not sure she’ll ever be anywhere but the top of our list!

If you could offer one piece of advice for families wanting to show pigs on a competitive level, what would it be?
Work with successful breeders, no doubt the easiest way to learn is to surround yourself with those that find success and there’s always someone in this industry that’s willing to lend a helping hand

Favorite or Least Favorite Ear-Notch
Big notches are always a favorite, I can’t stand a 1-1 notch

What's next for your showpig business? (Upcoming sales, exciting matings, future goals/expansions, etc)
Continue to grow and expand the boar stud with our family. It’s been very rewarding the last few years watching other breeders have success with boars here at the farm.
