This week on the Stock Show Sisters podcast, co-host Ricki interviews Lexi Hunt and Madison Fisher about their backgrounds and advice for women in the stock show industry. Lexi, from Buckeye, Arizona, began with goats then sheep, attended South Plains College, earned an animal science degree at Texas Tech, and judged collegiately; Madison, from Hempstead, Texas, grew up showing Red Angus/Red Brangus, judged at NOC in Oklahoma, earned an agribusiness degree, and will attend Kansas State. They discuss what drew them to judging (proving themselves, teamwork, networking, improving livestock), surprises in college (uneven experience with oral reasons, especially for Texas FFA), misconceptions about the intense time commitment, and the value of public speaking. They cover handling disagreement and disappointment, lessons from coaches (“pressure is a privilege,” competing for teammates), transferable skills (work ethic, humility, time management, decision-making), judging fashion tips, and next steps, including Lexi’s remote work and judging shows and Madison’s pre-law plans.
