How do you stay focused on reaching your goal?
I think about little me and how proud she would be if she saw where I was now and I set my standards high for my self and won’t stop till I reach them
Do you show any other species besides sheep? If so, what other species?
I don’t show any other species but I showed a goat once
What’s your favorite show? and why?
I wouldn’t say I have a favorite , but Western Bonanza, Arizona Nationals, Revival and CYAE are definitely at the top
What do you do to celebrate after a big win?
The show team goes out for dinner
What has showing livestock taught you?
Showing live stock has taught me a lot of patience and a countless amount of life skills but most importantly it has taught me to have people in my corner that make me genuinely happy.
What’s your biggest dream?
My top biggest dream would have to be going to all the major shows and winning there
What’s your lambs name? and what made him/her so special?
My lambs name is Marky Mark. The reason for that name is because he came from W2 Livestock, and he is named after Mark Woods, or as we like to call him “Marky Mark”
Who do you look up to?
The person I look up to the most is my sister Hailey. When she stated showing when I was 4, I knew I wanted to be just like her. Whether it was helping her work her sheep at home, setting her sheep up ring side or just watching her show,I knew I wanted to be just like her when my time came. It’s different without her in the ring, since she aged out, but now she’s ringside for me
