Beautiful morning here in Gonzales, LA! A busy week ahead as we drive to Indiana, with winter weather moving across the Midwest. Stay warm if you're in its path!
Being in the great state of Louisiana, we’ve had the chance to enjoy some incredible food! The LSU show has been nothing short of amazing. If you follow me on Snapchat, you saw the Parrish Group Show last night—the energy and excitement in the barn were real! What an awesome opportunity for those kids. Great job, LSU Swine Show Committee!

NBA All-Star Game
The NBA's refreshed All-Star Game format finished with a familiar result for Golden State Warriors star Stephen Curry: being presented with the Kobe Bryant Trophy as the All-Star MVP.
Curry scored 12 points in Team OGs' 41-25 victory Sunday in the first-to-40 finale against the Global Stars, to win the league's new round-robin tournament to cap off the festivities.
With Team OGs, coached by Shaquille O'Neal, up 23-15 in the championship game, Curry showed off his otherworldly shooting range by hitting a 3 from half-court. It put his group up by double digits and ignited the Chase Center crowd, which cheered on their hometown star. With no clear-cut MVP for the night until Curry's half-court heave, the guard's teammates kept feeding him the ball -- encouraging the league's all-time 3-point leader to keep shooting -- and he delivered two more 3s to give his team an overwhelming 39-21 lead.
Jayson Tatum finished it with a dunk to hit the target score and bring his scoring total to 15 points.
"It was one of those little flurries, just having fun," Curry said of his 3-point barrage. "The half-court shot, I was going to take one at some point. [Nikola] Jokic was picking me up at half court, which was hilarious."
The All-Star Game had recently become a joke. Last year, both teams combined to score 397 points in Indianapolis in a contest devoid of competitive spirit, but it inched closer to respectability.
"I think it was a good step in the right direction to reinvigorate the game in some way," Curry said of the format, which split the 12 Eastern Conference and 12 Western Conference All-Stars into teams of eight, going against a fourth team comprising eight first- and second-year players who won the Rising Stars game Friday night.

It’s district show week in NWOK, and things have been hectic around the house—clipping and getting livestock ready. On the breeding side, kidding out does has been tougher than expected, but we’re finished with the February group and excited about this set, to say the least.
Cold weather is on the way, which I’m not thrilled about, but we’ll make do. Bring on this winter mix, and let’s roll into some good spring weather!
