Ive been showing poultry since I was a kid. Never had parents that grew up in the hobby so I had to figure it out on my own (with their support of course). So showing has never been about the points, but getting this recognition is certainly appreciated. Thanks to my 4H leaders, mentors, friends and judges that helped me along the way to learn
Also thanks to the American Langshan Club recognizing me with the "bantam" Forrest Beauford award for winning three nationals in a row. I am pictured with friends and mentors Joe Oakley and Eddie "Cotton" Dunlap. They put these photos in the Poultry Press.
