Hulk Hogan apparently couldn\u2019t help but wrestle away a grand champion win at the Fort Worth Stock Show & Rodeo<\/a> on Friday.<\/p>\n

Hulk, a 290-pound-plus heavyweight crossbred, defeated 744 other entries and is the top barrow pig of 12 that will head to the stock show-finishing Junior Sale of Champions<\/a> Saturday.<\/p>\n

His exhibitor is Kamden Montfort, a 13-year-old eighth grader from Mildred ISD in Corsicana.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe first show I took him to, I won showmanship,\u201d Kamden said after Hulk won grand champion in the Junior Barrow Show<\/a>. \u201cHe just always wanted to be a show pig.\u201d<\/p>\n

Kamden is in her sixth year of showing pigs, but it\u2019s her first year at the Fort Worth Stock Show.<\/p>\n

At last year\u2019s auction, the grand champion barrow sold for $140,000, and the reserve champion sold for $10,000 more. Bidders spent more than $10 million<\/a> in 2025 on nearly 300 champion steers, barrows, lambs and goats exhibited by youth in the four major shows.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019m just excited to even be here,\u201d Kamden said. \u201cIt\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n

Reserve champion went to a Hampshire pig named Prager. His handler is Adalynn Peugh, a 16-year-old sophomore from Grady ISD, northwest of Big Spring and east of Tarzan.<\/p>\n

\u201cMy whole life,\u201d said Adalynn, explaining how long she\u2019d been showing pigs. \u201cThird grade. My dad showed pigs.\u201d<\/p>\n

Her mother estimated Adalynn has shown more than two dozen pigs over her career. The teen has shown at the Fort Worth Stock Show since she was in sixth grade, winning reserve Hampshire last year.<\/p>\n

Adalynn described Prager as sweet. The pig is curiously named after a Texas A&M baseball player<\/a> now in the Cleveland Guardians organization.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cI love to talk to him,\u201d she said of Prager.<\/p>\n

She said she didn\u2019t have a sense of how well Prager might do in Fort Worth.\u00a0<\/p>\n

\u201cNobody tells me how good they are,\u201d she joked.<\/p>\n

Kamden, however, was not surprised by Hulk\u2019s success.<\/p>\n

\u201cI know my pig was able to do the things he did,\u201d Kamden said, while Hulk took a well-deserved break and sacked out in a pen at her feet.<\/p>\n

Kamden\u2019s dad used to show steers. She was the first in her family to show pigs. Kamden estimates she\u2019s exhibited 15-20 so far. Early results might have foretold her future.<\/p>\n

\u201cI won it all,\u201d she said of her first year at a county show.<\/p>\n

This year, she\u2019s been working with eight pigs, all named after wrestlers.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been crazy,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
