This weekend left us with so much gratitude and so many great memories. Thank you to everyone who came out and supported the Leatherneck Classic Pig Show!

A huge thank-you goes to the entire Engnell team for the countless hours of hard work and dedication that helped make this event possible. We are additionally grateful to our show chairs, Maggie Goodson and Ally Loosen.

We also want to recognize the entire WIU Hoof N Horn crew, who worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help make the day such an awesome and successful experience in the ring.

Huge thank you to all of our exhibitors, families, sponsors, judges, photographers, and everyone who helped make the Western Shootout one heck of a weekend.

From the first class to the final drive, the barns were packed with great stock, great competition, and even better people. We appreciate every single family that traveled in, supported the show, and helped make the weekend such a success.

Special thanks to LG Photography for capturing all the memories throughout the weekend 📸
