I interview livestock exhibitors from all walks of life, but this conversation felt different. Jimmy Tibbits of Mineral Point, Wisconsin, has earned some of the industry's highest honors, including Grand Champion and Reserve Champion Market Barrow at the Wisconsin State Fair, Beef Exhibitor of the Year, and was on a nationally winning collegiate livestock judging team. Yet, when reflecting on his journey, he didn't focus on the banners or buckles. He talked about the stories. Because at its core, showing and raising livestock is about much more than winning. It's about the lessons learned, the friendships built, and the experiences that shape young people into the hardworking adults who are passionate about giving back to others. The banners may hang on the wall, but the stories are what stay with us for a lifetime.
On my show and in the world of livestock, we talk a lot about winning, but anyone who’s been part of it knows the real story is about the team behind the banners. And when you reach that final year of eligibility, every step in the ring means just a little bit more and you start to see it all a little differently. Chloe Kemp is living that right now. As she reflects on her final season showing in Oklahoma, we’re going to talk about the team that helped shape her, the lessons she’ll carry forward, and what this journey has truly meant beyond the backdrop.
Today we have a special guest on my show. He’s someone I’ve known for a long time and actually grew up showing with right here in Iowa before he moved to Texas a few years back. I’ve always known how talented he was and now the rest of the world does too after his big win in Houston. Landry Mabry recently took home one of the most competitive titles in the country, winning Grand Champion Market Hog while breaking a sale record and the internet during the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo.
Meet 21-year-old Mike McDonough from Oelwein, Iowa. Mike didn’t grow up on a farm or in a show barn, but today, he owns a 200-head show cattle operation. Mike’s journey is proof that hard work, integrity, and persistence can make anything possible and this story is sure to inspire anyone chasing their dreams.
On this episode of The Joe Show, I sit down with two showman who just put together an unforgettable run at the San Antonio Stock Show. Jett James claimed Grand Champion Steer, while his friend, Lawson Hale, followed right behind with Reserve Grand Champion Steer. We talk about the road to San Antonio, their friendship along the way, and what it takes to compete and win at one of the biggest stages in the show cattle industry.
Sometimes the biggest wins take time. On today’s episode of The Joe Show, I sit down with Maci Lynn from Georgia, who recently captured a huge victory at the Georgia Junior National Livestock Show. For the Lynn family, the moment was more than just a banner, it was the payoff to a journey 15 years in the making.
Welcome to the official kickoff of Season 3 of The Joe Show. The past couple of years have been an incredible ride, and I’m excited about where this next season is headed. To open things up, we’re sitting down with a showman who’s found success not just in the ring, but on the judging side as well. That’s one of the things I love most about the livestock industry. There are so many paths you can take, and today’s guest is a perfect example of that. Brody Moeller recently earned High Individual Overall and was a part of the High Point Team at the 2026 National Western Stock Show 4-H Livestock Judging Contest in Denver, one of the most prestigious competitions in the country. We dive into what it took to reach the top, and the advice Brody has for those who want to follow in his footsteps.
When I made the sale at the Kansas City Royal this year, I got to watch Kelton Arthur, of Stillwater, Oklahoma, take his Grand Champion Steer through the ring. They read a little bio on each of us kids and I thought Kelton had a really neat story behind his steer, so I told my parents that I had to interview him. So today, we’re diving into Kelton’s journey in winning one of most prestigious shows in North America.
