Stalbaum Pork & Show Stock

09/20/2026

We are happy to be one of the sponsors for the OctoBoer show again this year.

This is the very first show our family attended back in 2019.

This coming Saturday is the day! We are so excited to see everyone! Some FAQ's before show day:

- The show will start at 9 AM EST (NOT CST. LaGrange is in Eastern time!)
- The show will start with Youth Showmanship - Junior, Intermediate, Senior, Adult and then Pee-Wee! After that, we'll do Commercial Does, Commercial Bucks and then move into ABGA dual show!

- There are no late entry fees - you can sign up on Showman through midnight the night before the show (which we highly recommend as it makes it a lot easier on show day for everyone).

- Please think about bringing a generator if you have one as well as power is not great.

- Pens will be available on an honor system.
Bedding will not be provided so bring your own.
$5 fee per pen.

- Camping is $35 per night

- We will have a food truck that will have donuts and coffee starting at 8 the morning of the show! She will also have drinks all through the day, and we have a Mexican food truck for lunch!

- Sullivan's will have their truck here for all of your show supply needs!

If you have any questions, please reach out to Kelsey or Meggan! Kelsey's cell is 260-350-2837! We're looking forward to seeing everyone on Saturday!

We are often asked if we sell meat products directly to consumers.

Unfortunately, we do not. (Although we may start marketing beef in the future)

But our friends over at Culp Family Farms do! You should check them out if you are looking for that local farm fresh to the table experience.

Let Culp Family Farms take care of your MEAT needs. Feel free to place your order prior to the Rensselaer Indiana Farmers Market on Saturday, 7:30-12.

On Thursday, June 25, I started a weekend project of building some high tensile fencing over at my grandpa’s. I told my wife we’d be moving the cows in by Tuesday.

Today on SUNDAY, August 23, I’m happy to announce that the pasture is all fenced in and the cows are happily grazing and enjoying the pond.

Last I checked Sunday comes before Tuesday, so I’m ahead of schedule. 😉

All I know for sure is that Grandpa would be proud. I sure thought of him (and my dad) a lot as I was out there walking in their foot steps.

Seasons change and things sure look different but there’s a lot of good memories out here in this dirt. Hopefully one day my kids will feel the same.

If you look closely, you will see an absolutely bat s**t crazy goat, affectionately dubbed “the mountain goat”.

This black doe is supposed to be a recipient for our embryo transfer program; however, she is either completely defiant or has not read her job expectations.

All of our recip does are pretty much absolute asshats but this one specifically takes the cake. At one point it took three people and about 1000ft of temporary fencing to catch her.

We thought we won that day, but we were wrong. Ever since then she has completely evaded capture.

I believe that she sits up on her perch overlooking the pasture studying me, learning my methods, watching my behavior, and analyzing everything that I do. So that one day when the time comes that I try to catch her again, she will be the victor.

I admire her dedication. I for one would struggle to give up my favorite meal on a permanent basis to avoid capture and being handled against my will for 15 minutes.

She on the other hand has sworn off grain for her lifetime. As she has learned that the feeding location is inside of a corral. If she goes into the corral, there is a chance she will be caught.

So while all the other goats come and eat their grain, Mountain Goat sits upon her tree staring at me.

One day, I will outsmart this goat and to the sale barn she will go. Or she will p**s me off enough that I’ll take her tree away. 😉

My girls have dubbed her the mountain goat, but she is 😈 Lilith 😈 to me.
