What was your favorite thing about this stock show/trip?
I liked meeting new friends from other states and getting to play football. I also liked that there were two shows in the same place and I got to stay there all week.
What was one thing you tried different with your project this year?
This past year was my first year in 4H but something different that I liked was the virtual shows. I like going to real shows better, but it was fun to watch on TV. I liked doing virtual school so I could work with my pigs more.
What is your favorite show product to use?
This year we liked using Pig Polish at home as daily conditioner and to promote hair growth. I like using Champions Choice before they go in the ring.
What is your favorite brand of show jeans or show shoes?
My favorite jeans to wear on show day are Cody James. I like to wear Hey Dude shoes.
On the way to the show I am...
I'm so eager to get there and get out of the truck.
What is one last minute thing you do before entering the ring?
I like to give the pig a pep talk before we go in the ring and tell them what to do. I have to make sure I have the right whip because different pigs like different whips. I also like to drink Dr Pepper Cream Soda.
Iowa Swine Jackpot Series is organized to promote youth education and involvement in the swine industry. ISJS is open to Junior members (youth 21 years and under as of January 1 of the current year).
The purpose of ISJS is to encourage young people to learn about all phases of the swine industry by making an educated buying decision and taking proper care of their animals from feeder pig to market hog and learning about how to make the best of their animal in the show ring. ISJS then rewards members for their hard work and dedication to the swine industry.
Many of our members raise their own pigs from farrow to finish and are faced with every day management decisions. The importance of swine health and nutrition is addressed from the time of conception to a finished product.
ISJS will sanction shows in Iowa who wish to take advantage of the show circuit. Each show will have several breed divisions for market hogs, breeding gilts as well as a showmanship contest where members can receive sweepstake points. The showmanship division places importance on the member's show ring abilities and their swine project knowledge.

Members will compete for points in several divisions at each show throughout the summer which will culminate in one Grand Finale and the end of the season. Members will compete against each other in a live show, showmanship contest, skillathon, obstacle course, speech contest and any other like activities the board puts together. The intent of the Grand Finale is to allow youth a chance to showcase the skills they've gained from their project, their passion for the swine industry and to allow members to develop lifelong friendships. At the conclusion of the activities and shows we will have a dinner and end of the year awards ceremony to present the season long awards for those who competed in the circuit.
Through this association the youth learn to exhibit good sportsmanship, responsibility and a desire to remain involved in the swine industry. This association helps to prepare youth for their future in the agricultural industry and holds great value to all who participate, parents, youth and siblings as well as sponsors and breeders.
