Early in the month I got to help work the ring at the Hogtoberfest show in Tipton Indiana. This show is a great opportunity for families to exhibit their American Royal and North American projects before the big shows.
The next week we headed out to Hamburg New York for the NJSA Eastern Regional. Numbers continue to climb at this show. I would recommend this trip to anyone! We are fortunate to have an incredible show facility to exhibit it. The laid back attitude and family activities can be refreshing compared to the hustle and bustle of some of our summer shows.
The Platt invitational was next on my agenda. I have to say we had a lot of fun that day! Travis
looks forward to having the show next year and this is a great way to not only find your North American hogs, but to also get your showman more experience. I was most impressed with the quality of hogs from the Kilmer's. It is hard to find that many good hogs in one place!
Early this week Ralph and I went to the Ohio Duroc breeders annual meeting. It was nice to get to see everyone and meet some new people. This group is truly passionate about making their shows and sales top notch!
In addition to these shows and meetings, I have been busy making herd visits. Hogs that I have seen for Duncan look good and I'm sure it's going to be a nice show.
Safe travels to everyone heading to Louisville and good luck to all.
Also make sure to read and understand all the new requirements for the Fall Classic, if you have any questions get ahold of us!
