If you have a person starting out, what is one tip on facility design you would suggest to them?
Efficiency is key!!   Especially as it relates to cleaning and daily maintenance.

What do you consider the most influential sow/boar in the showpig industry or your herd?
The Influence that Best Man had to change the trajectory of our sow herd was without a doubt a turning point for us.  Not only in terms of making show barrows but also key sows.  
We are starting to see the same type of influence with Never Before and especially his daughters!!

My favorite barn snack is...
I’m not a big snacker in the barn.  I can’t live without Crystal Light Citrus in my water.
