Paiton started showing at 9 years old and exhibits lambs, steers and hogs. Paiton said her favorite place to show is at the National Western Stock Show in Denver, CO. Her dream show would definitely be the North American International Livestock Exposition in Louisville, KY; because it’s on the big stage and she could feel like she finally made it! When asked if she had to pick one fair food to eat for the rest of her life, Paiton chose the mini donuts from the Eastern New Mexico State Fair because they are just too good! When Paiton isn’t taking care of her animals or getting ready to exhibit, you can find her hanging out with her friends or judging livestock for Redlands. One goal that Paiton has set for herself to accomplish in 2021 is to take her Redlands Livestock Judging team to the top and be crowned the Team of the Year. Paiton strives to be a full time livestock photographer upon graduation. When asked who her hero was, Paiton said that it would be her grandma because she is a sweet and genuine person and Paiton strives to be like her every day.
