We caught up with judge Payton Dahmer before he steps “Inside the Ring” at the Indiana Stock Show. Learn more about Payton below…
What are you looking forward to the most while judging the show?
I’m excited to work with some awesome young people while sorting sheep in a state known for such elite livestock!
What state fair did you show at growing up? What was your favorite part?
I grew up showing at the Missouri State Fair. I’ve actually never missed one in my entire life! There’s just something about your home state fair to me – it was the one show we always wanted to win the most, yet after the show was over you got to spend time with your closest friends.
What show is on your bucket list to judge?
Judging on the green chips at NAILE is the bucket list one for me!
What is one lesson you took away from showing yourself?
There are so many great things I took away from showing livestock. The most important one to me was setting goals and working tirelessly to achieve them.
