Spotlight August 17, 2009
NAME: John Austin Miles
HOME STATE: Indiana
WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE SHOW AND WHY? Indiana State Fair. I get to compete against cattle that I've shown against all winter in one place, and it's interesting to see what the cattle look like after 4 or 5 months.
WHAT IS YOUR BIGGEST SHOW ACCOMPLISHMENT? Champion Intermediate Showman at the Indiana State Fair
WHO IS YOUR BIGGEST INSPIRATION? Travis Stenberg, Jared Jarck, Brett Carey
WHAT IS A NORMAL DAILY ROUTINE FOR YOU? First thing in the morning I wash the calves and put them in their cooler room, then either go to school or work on the farm. Then I come home and feed and turn the calves out around 8 or 9 PM.
WHO HAS HELPED YOU THE MOST WITH YOUR PROJECTS? Jared Jarck
WHAT IS THE ONE SHOW YOU HAVE ALWAYS WANTED TO WIN AND WHY? Indiana State Fair, It's just one show I hope to win one day.
IF YOU COULD HANG OUT WITH ONE PERSON AT A SHOW FOR A DAY WHO WOULD IT BE AND WHY? Brett Carey, he is one of my friends and is a blast to hang out with.
WHO IS YOUR FAVORITE JUDGE AND WHY? Blake Blumberg, I have always done well when he has judged a show that I have shown at.
WHAT ARE YOUR FUTURE PLANS? I have a future in the show cattle business. I hope to own a large cattle ranch and continue farming.
WHAT IS THE ONE THING YOU WOULD RECOMMEND TO OHER EXHIBITORS? With whatever animal you show always do your best and work hard at it. |
