Advertise on podcast: the JOE show

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.

You might recognize my guest, Colt McComb, from your social media after his big win at the Indiana State Fair. We’ll talk about the story behind that unforgettable cowboy hat toss and the hard work that led up to it.

Talk about a summer to remember! I had the honor of having Chase Harker from Indiana on the show today. He’s a cattle kid that has been dominating on the circuit, racking up major wins at the Chi and Main Jr National Shows as well as the Simmental Junior Nationals. He also comes from a cool family with a long history in the cattle industry...  So here we go!

On this episode, I caught up with Brayden Lancaster of Kentucky. He’s already had an incredible summer winning big banners at the Exposition, Springfield and Louisville! We chat about his showing career and the pigs that helped him get there.

A lot of the kids that come on The Joe Show are your typical livestock kids...work hard, win some banners, and tell their individual story. But on this episode, we are joined by a typical livestock kid that has taken social media by storm! Karis Dadson from California has used showing livestock and social media to bring our “sport” into the mainstream through her famous stare. 

Meet Reagan and Rylan Miller, two accomplished sisters from Texas who have made waves this show season. From winning Grand and Reserve Champion Goat at the Texas State Fair to claiming Grand Champion Market Goat titles at both Rodeo Austin and the Arizona National, these girls have proven themselves as top-notch showmen. Don’t miss their story!

It’s Texas major season! I’ll be interviewing some of the recent champions, and first up is Cambrey Wilson. She just took home Reserve Grand Champion barrow at the Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo with her crossbred pig, Howard. (Got to love that name!) Fun fact, Howard was actually raised by some friends of ours here in Iowa. We’ll talk about how an Iowa-bred pig ended up in Cambrey’s hands, along with what it takes to make a winner.

On today’s show, my guest knew she had something special when she came across Thunder. Madilyn Norvell from Oklahoma took home the Grand Champion steer title at the 2025 National Western Stock Show. Tune in to hear more about her big win in Denver, other accomplishments and what makes her stand out from the competition.

The American Royal was founded in 1899 as the first-ever exhibition and sale of purebred cattle. 125 years later, the annual livestock show tradition continues with record-setting results.   On today's episode, meet Ruby Bell of Oklahoma. She showed this year's Grand Champion Market Steer at the Royal and although she's been showing for years, this was the milestone in her career.

Meet Olivia Shike—a trailblazer in the hog community. Olivia has been making waves this year with her Chesters at three national shows and then winning the Illinois State Fair market barrow show. In addition to pigs, she also shows horses, she’s involved with Queen contests and livestock judging. 

Joining us is Sam Schmillen. Sam was Reserve Grand Champion Market Lamb at this year’s Iowa State Fair 4H Show; however, that was not his first time on the purple chips. In today’s conversation, we talk about the lamb industry, his career thus far and the stories and lessons that have shaped Sam's journey.

It's been quite a summer and it's time I fill you in. On this special edition podcast, the roles have been reversed and my mom, Katie, interviews me. I talk about my Reserve Grand Champion Market Hog at the Iowa State Fair, my Third Overall Market Hog at the Aksarben Stock Show and much more. This is one you won't want to miss! Let's go!

This episode was a treat as I got to interview the big winner of the summer, Mya Holderly. She recently won the Grand Champion Crossbred Gilt at the Exposition in Indianapolis AND the National Junior Summer Spectacular in Louisville. For those not involved with pigs, this is a really big deal and extremely hard to do. We’re talking beating out thousands of pigs! Mya is on the Danner Livestock team and had some fun facts to share. 

Kamlynn Mason of Montgomery, Texas, has had one of the best spring show seasons of all time. She had Reserve Grand Champion hog at Denver, Reserve at Houston, Grand Champion at San Angelo and Forth Worth. It’s incredible! So, I wanted to talk with Kamlynn about her recent hot streak and how she consistently does what she does.
