Ryan “Deuce” Balser Jr., Tivy FFA

Today, we’re thrilled to shine a spotlight on an inspiring individual—Ryan “Deuce” Balser Jr.. His recent triumph at the 2025 Hill District Grandstand is an inspiration to the stock show community.

Hard Work and Passion

Ryan, a dedicated 10th grader from Kerrville, TX, proudly raises the Tivy FFA flag high. His recent victory in the Class 12 Champion category with his stellar Light OPB is a testament to his unwavering dedication and skill in the stock show world. Ryan’s journey is a vibrant tapestry of commitment and love for what he does, both in the show ring and beyond.

When Ryan isn’t dazzling the judges with his showmanship, he keeps his competitive edge sharp on the football, baseball, and golf fields. However, it’s clear that the stock show circuit is where his heart truly lies, and his success speaks volumes about his hard work and passion.
