We caught up with Ms. Tristan Salopek, exhibitor of the Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb at the 2024 New Mexico State Fair. Learn a little more about Tristan below!
What is one thing you try to do that sets you apart?
A little cliche but I would definitely say to try and work harder than everyone else. I think that putting in the time and work that others might not be doing, is the best way to set yourself up for success.
What was the hardest thing you had to learn about showing sheep?
Adapting to each animal and understanding that not all of them will be easy to work with. I have most definitely had challenging lambs but the difficult ones always give me room to improve.
Who has helped you the most as a showman?
My mom is the person that has set me up to be the best showman of my ability. She has never failed to get me the help I have needed along the years and has continuously pushed me for the better.
