We are so excited to announce our Summer Spectacular judges!
The NJSA is proud to have Whitney Whitaker serving as a showmanship judge for the 2025 Summer Spectacular, in Louisville, KY.
Whitney Whitaker is a California native whose roots in agriculture run deep. Raised in Paso Robles, she was actively involved in 4-H and FFA, developing a passion for the livestock industry through showing pigs. Her early involvement with the National Junior Swine Association (NJSA) culminated in serving as NJSA Vice President.
Whitney began her collegiate journey at Butler Community College, where she competed on a nationally recognized livestock judging team and was named an All-American. She then transferred to Kansas State University, earning a bachelor’s degree in animal science before completing her master’s degree in Agricultural Communications at Texas Tech University.
Today, she provides photography and videography services to a wide range of agricultural clients, while also capturing weddings and portraits. Based in Manhattan, Kansas, Whitney lives with her fiancé, Payton, and continues to be an enthusiastic supporter of both K-State and the swine industry.
