  • Absolutely amazing!

    I’m 14 and Rian just came to our fair last year to judge. I was amazed at how amazing he really was in person. I’ve been watching all his videos and I’ve been a fan for a long time so when I heard he had a podcast I about screamed! He’s such an amazing person and he does such great things for us kids. Listening to the podcast is so educational, funny, exciting , and im so great full I had a chance to show in front of him.

  • Why is Ryan Surprised

    I started listening to this show when my kids were showing. I enjoy the show and now that they’ve graduated, I mainly listen to the political conventions at the start at the show. I love the different points of views. I do find it odd, that as a Trump supporter, Ryan is surprised he’s discriminated against for being gay. More will come over the next four years. You can’t have one and not the other. Best of luck.

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

293: Home Away From Home
Q: My two boys have aged out of showing. However, I have a younger niece who shows in Central Texas. We saw this with my boys from time to time, but I see it almost every showmanship now. Judges will walk in the non-show side of sheep and goats wanting the kids to switch sides. Why do we do it?
It's ridiculous. I think it's double ridiculous. Judges should judge showmanship like they do in regular show.
292: The Farmers Almanac
Q: What do you consider to be the most competitive national market animal show across species?
Ryan selects Louisville for its large numbers across various species, particularly noting its market lambs and hogs as among the most competitive.
292: The Farmers Almanac
Q: What are your thoughts of rules being published but not enforced at shows?
Ryan argues there should be a manageable set of rules that can actually be enforced rather than a long list of unenforceable guidelines to ensure a fair playing field for all participants.
290: Picture Perfect
Q: When I am searching for pigs online, I appreciate the fact that I have options from all over the country and delivery to near my home. However, I have had huge variation of results from many purchases. With some coming in better than I anticipated, others not so good. I assume this is common for most buyers. Suggestions on how to get my results for success a bit higher.
Go see the animal in person. Other than that, reach out and build a rapport with the seller.
288: Weight Watchers
Q: Could you discuss some alternative ways that people offload their market projects at the conclusion of their show season?
The hosts explain that at many shows, the animals either go to a truck price or are sold through social media, with some families processing the animals for personal use.
