How it all started

My journey with the show pig industry began long before Wapiti Show Pigs was established. I spent eight years showing pigs through 4-H and FFA, learning firsthand the responsibility, discipline, and passion that becomes with raising livestock. These years shaped my appreciation for quality genetics.

Our story

My grandpa Fonda has been a major influence all along. He owns and operates a pig farm. Watching him work, manage his livestock, and take pride in his operation inspired me to build something of my own. His experience and dedication to farming inspired my interest in breeding and producing high-quality pigs.

In 2021, that passion turned into Wapiti Show Pigs. With more of a focus on premium genetics, my goal was to create a program that blends my livestock knowledge with modern show industry standards. Every decision is made with the exhibitors in mind – aiming to produce pigs that are competitive and built to succeed.

What began as a personal goal has grown into a commitment to supporting 4-H and FFA members by providing quality pigs. I strive to have a welcoming business for youth to be able to learn and grow in the project. This business is built on hard work and a genuine love for the show pig industry.
