Show Notes

Clay Parrish joins The LineUp to talk about growing up on a hog farm, the life lessons that came with it, and the unconventional path that eventually led him into a career path within the swine industry off the farm.

Clay and Brice take a step back to look at the bigger picture of the swine industry, where the showpig sector fits, and how the different pieces of the industry can work together instead of operating in their own corners. It’s a conversation about where the industry has been, where it’s headed, and what it looks like when we start looking at the bigger picture.

And, of course, no episode would be complete without a great round of Extended Bidding, some fall-season conversation, and Clay sharing his healthy appreciation for PSL’s. It’s a smart, funny conversation about pigs, people, perspective, and finding ways to move the industry forward together.
