A Youth Championship
🐐 MARKET MAYHEM
Friday Night • May 29, 2026 • 6:00 PM
Market Mayhem is a high-energy Friday night feature at Goat Expo, where youth exhibitors compete across four market goat shows in a single evening, accumulating points toward one final title.
Every class, every division, and every drive contributes to the final outcome.
At the end of the night, one exhibitor will rise above the rest.
If your goal is to think faster, sort better, and walk into the ring with confidence—this is where it starts.
Bryan Williams, founder of JudgingPro, brings a lifetime of livestock experience to Goat Expo. From raising and exhibiting at a high level to evaluating livestock across the country, Bryan is known for one thing—helping young exhibitors understand why the best rise to the top.
We are honored to have JudgingPro owner Bryan Williams, as our judge, to sort the stock.
Bryan Williams
Owner & Founder, JudgingPro
Bryan Williams brings a lifetime of livestock experience, practical teaching, and national-level perspective to the ring and the classroom. As the owner and founder of JudgingPro, he has built a respected platform dedicated to developing sharper evaluators and more confident decision-makers across the livestock industry.
Raised in northwest Missouri, Bryan’s roots run deep in a commercial cow/calf operation alongside registered Shorthorn cattle and club lambs. That foundation shaped not only his eye for quality stock, but also his understanding of what it takes to build programs that last. His background is grounded, practical, and proven—qualities that continue to define his approach today.
Bryan spent years as an agricultural educator in Princeton, Missouri, where he mentored young livestock exhibitors and helped families navigate the path from first project to competitive success. Alongside his teaching career, he and his family operated a showpig and commercial cattle program in north Missouri for over two decades. His daughter, Brylee, competed across all species at a high level nationwide—an experience that further sharpened Bryan’s perspective on what separates good from great in the show ring.
As a judge, Bryan has evaluated cattle, hogs, sheep, and goats across the United States, as well as in Canada and Mexico, from county fairs to national stages. Exhibitors respect his consistency, clarity, and ability to communicate decisions in a way that teaches, not just places.
Now based in Guthrie, Oklahoma, Bryan continues to invest in the next generation through JudgingPro and hands-on instruction. His approach is direct, encouraging, and rooted in real-world application—exactly what young exhibitors need to grow their confidence and decision-making ability.
