This past weekend was the start of jackpot season here in California. I was impressed to see the amount of kids and quality of hogs out there. Saturday was the Pork Spectacular which is put on by our CA Pork Producers Association. A few kids showed hogs there, and we ended up with the Reserve Progress exhibited by Maddi Kiser and Champion Market Hog exhibited by Lindsay Tasos. Lindsay also won Showmanship at this event.
Sunday was the Fresno State Red Wave Jackpot where we had Champion Market Barrow (also exhibited by Lindsay Tasos).
Our nephews also participated in the Red Wave. This year Aaron has a steer and Kyle has a lamb. Kyle has the Champion Prospect Lamb and Aaron won showmanship again with his steer. Keep up the good work boys!!
Overall it was a great weekend. Congrats to all the kids who participated and good luck at the upcoming shows.
This week we will be getting ready for San Antonio. I will be judging the Berkshire, Spot, Poland China, Dark Crossbred and the Yorkshire show. I fly out on Saturday morning with my wife and Trent. They will fly home on Tuesday and I will be home later that week. It was such an honor to be asked to judge this show. I am really looking forward to seeing the quality of animals there.
