With this being one of the major shows of the summer, explain how excited were you to take home a Top 5?
Taking home a top five spot was a huge accomplishment for me. I worked countless hours for this show, even though I was unsure if the show would take place, due to Covid-19. I am honored to say that all of the hard work paid off in the end. Also, I would like to thank Steve Cobb and Family for helping make it all happen.

I worked on improving my showmanship skills and walking the barrows longer and more efficiently to reach their full potential.

What is your favorite show product to use?
I prefer to use Weaver Livestock items such as Purple Oil or Swine Conditioning Spray, I recommend both items.
