Addison Roehl

Addison Roehl

My name is Addison Roehl, and I am from Darien, WI. I am currently a senior at Beloit Turner High School. I have been a member of the WSPA for four years and have been showing pigs since I was little. Outside of showing pigs, I am involved in art and choir. My passion for showing was sparked by my dad when he thought it would be fun to attend a few WSPA jackpots. Over time, we have grown to love the project more and more, and I am forever grateful for my dad for always pushing me to drive harder and be the best version of myself, both inside and outside of the show ring. Words cannot describe how excited and grateful I am to be a part of the WSPA Junior Board. I can’t wait to be in the shoes of the kids who once inspired me and have made such a significant impact on my life. I hope to have a great 2024 season, and I am so thankful to be finishing my final years of showing with so many wonderful people around me!

Morgan Black

Morgan Black

Hi there! I’m Morgan Black and I am from and live in Darlington, WI with my fiance Carson Lobdell. I am 21 years old, and in May of 2023 I graduated from Lincoln Land Community College in Springfield, Illinois, with a degree in Agribusiness Management. While at Lincoln Land I was on the Livestock Judging Team, served as the Vice President of the Ag Club, and worked at Bobell Farms! Recently, Carson and I created “Lobdell Genetics”, where we raise and show Durocs, Spots, Yorks, and Crossbreds, as well as a couple of breeds of sheep. If you can’t find me at the show, it’s usually because I had to stop at Starbucks first! 😉 I am so excited to be starting my second year with the junior board, and I can’t wait to see what the 2025 show season brings for Wisconsin exhibitors!!
