We had great success with part one that featured two state winners from West Virginia and North Dakota.

Karlee and Kinlee Rathmann of Texas work very hard for every banner they have. I sat down with them to talk about their secrets to success.
On today’s show, I interviewed a sibling trio that is known in the show pig and cattle world.
