What was your favorite thing about this stock show/trip?
Being that I'm from Oklahoma, many of my friends and family were able to attend the Oklahoma Youth Expo and cheer me on from the stands. Having my biggest supporters there made this accomplishment so much sweeter. There's nothing quite like celebrating a dream come true with the people you love most!

What was one thing you tried different with your project this year?
We experimented with some new supplements, and found one or two that we really like.

What is your favorite show product to use?
My family always keeps quite the supply of Weavers Pink2Purple in the showbox at all times! This product helps to keep our pigs looking fresh and hydrated while improving their energy and appetite.

What is your favorite brand of show jeans or show shoes?
Every stock show kids knows just how important a good pair of show shoes are. Most would pick Hey Dudes, but as for me, I couldn't live without "On" tennis shoes.

On the way to the show I am...
Usually texting my friends to see where everyone is penned. All livestock shows are better when you are able to connect with your closest friends and keep your animals looking show-ready at the same time.

What is one last minute thing you do before entering the ring?
Dad always gives me a hug and wishes me good luck.
