A mashup that hits close to home for me! This mini series to close out Season 5 is all about Livestock Judging as a Canadian in the USA. This is a big time passion for me as I was fortunate to compete on several judging teams and earn scholarships towards my tuition. It was one of the best experiences of my life and helped sharpen my skills and talents expending far outside of winning a judging contest. Plus I made friends that are like family and got to see America through the windshield of a 15 passenger van.
My Sr College coach used to tell us, it’s not about being a judger, it’s about becoming a better stockman.
I have this broken into 6 parts with different guests. I had planned on maybe a 3 parter but as per usual, I talked way too much.
The guests:
Part 1 - Jack Oattes
Part 2 - Riley Lafrentz
Part 3 - Tyson Hertz
Part 4 - Lance Leachman
Part 5 - Riley Leeson
Part 6 - Codee Kopelchuk
This was a treat to put together with some outstanding people in the business. A little bit of looking back and a little bit of the current situation, a great mix of perspectives and insight from all the guests.
