We caught up with Ashley Hagen, the exhibitor the Grand Champion Market Goat at the 2024 California State Fair! Learn a little more about Ashley below!
What was the hardest thing for you to learn showing?
The hardest thing for me is the transition from consistently showing hogs to goats. It is very different and it was definitely an adjustment.
Who is your role model?
My role model in the show industry is Shelby Weinrich. She has taught me so many things since she started helping my family five years ago. Although she only helps with the pigs, she is still one of my biggest supporters in the goat ring.
What do you do to calm your nerves?
I usually listen to music to calm my nerves.
What is your favorite hobby?
My favorite hobby aside from showing livestock is being active- playing sports, hiking, working out, or anything outdoors.
