We caught up with Nebraska State Fair FFA Market Goat Judge, Kevin Mock, to ask him a few questions before he steps “INSIDE THE RING”!
What are you looking forward to the most while judging the show?
Working with the kids. I pray I can be a positive example and hopefully the short interaction will help some of them be better humans. Also, sorting stock is one of my favorite things to do.
What species did you show?
I showed average pigs & horned spanish goats. We weren’t very good at it, but we never quit trying!
Who is one judge that left an impact on you? How did they do that?
Dan Hoge! His ability to articulate his thoughts about an animal through a story is incredible.
What is one thing you stressed about as an exhibitor that didn’t matter?
I worried about what everyone else was doing. The only thing you can control is your hard work, your time in the barn, and did you give 100%.
