Duroc and Landrace Barrow Judge :: Brian Arnold, Ind.
What is your favorite show to attend?
As far as shows I’ve attended, I have probably enjoyed the NJSA Eastern Regional in Hamburg, New York the most. It’s low key, a great time of year, the fairgrounds are world class and the host staff is second to none.
What do you and your family do for fun?
We enjoy spending time together working outside and visiting our families when we get a chance. We live close to Purdue, so we make it to several sporting events throughout the year.
What is your background and current involvement in the swine industry?
I grew up on a grain and swine farm in northeast Indiana and our family raised a few showpigs. I competed on college judging teams at Blackhawk East (BHE) and Purdue. Upon graduation, I [ … ]

Hampshire and Yorkshire Gilt Judge :: Jason Lackey, Texas
What is your favorite show to attend?
Houston Livestock Show.
What do you and your family do for fun?
Our business consumes a lot of our time. We find enjoyment in taking our kids to smaller jackpot shows where we can hang out as a family. I enjoy the spring after our major stock shows are over. The boys really enjoy baseball and I like getting to watch them compete.
What is your background and current involvement in the swine industry?
I showed as a kid but I’m not a second or third generation hog farmer. It was and has always been a passion of mine. Currently, we have 100 showpig sows and a handful of boars.
What are you looking for in your champion gilt?
Skeletal correctness, density and an animal that possesses unique traits that allows them to set themselves apart from [ … ]

Crossbred Barrow Judge :: Russell Pedrett, Calif.
What is your favorite show to attend?
I really enjoy the NJSA Events — World Pork Expo and Western Regional in particular. I love that they have a laid back environment and are set up to encourage kids and families to get to know one another. We always have a great time at these events.
What do you and your family do for fun?
Since showpigs are my job, when we get time off we enjoy traveling and seeing new places. So far, we’ve been to three different Hawaiian Islands and we try to make a trip to the California coast at least once a year.
What is your background and current involvement in the swine industry?
I am from Minden, Nevada. Growing up, I loved attending the NSR events — my dad and I traveled to the World Pork [ … ]

Junior and Senior Showmanship Judge :: Shari Bakker, Iowa
What is your favorite show to attend?
SW :: Mine has always been the World Pork Expo! Our family has made so many memories there together over the years, from hanging banners to donating livestock in honor of my sister. The nostalgia of the Iowa State Fairgrounds is second to none.
SB :: World Pork Expo. Not only do I love that I get to see family, friends and breeders from all over the country, but the fairgrounds hold significant memories for my family. It’s where my husband and I first met, where we got engaged, where we spent our honeymoon and was the first national show we ever brought our kids to. The history in those barns is incredible, as is the atmosphere.
