Bar None x Walk The Dog (2011 Houston Champ Gilt) Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires

Stress Negative EN 7-11 Reg #115392011

When we introduced Superman "We believed we were now being handed the best Berkshire we had ever seen – period – no debate – no question – not a close second" Superman has obviously done his part to back that claim up and we LOVED Superman as he got the ball rolling for us. But when we were handed his full brother Big Gulp and his son SuperFly, we said we thought we just moved to a whole new level. They backed that claim up big time this fall/winter.

Big Gulp is massive boned and massive chested and reaches out and just grabs the ground like his big brother but does it with a freakier front end that explodes out of his blade. Big Gulp’s littermates went 1st & 5th in gilts & 6th in barrows & San Antonio in 2013. We are grateful to the Jones and Bennett Families for letting Big Gulp come to PBG to keep the Berskshire stable full of great options.

Big Gulp’s first set has produced very well including the Cham-pion & Reserve Overall Gilt @ Team Purebred Mid-South. Champion Berkshire Barrow OK Southwest District and 3rd Place gilt @ OYE.

Big Gulp continued his nice run this summer having a Class-winning Boar & a Class-winning Gilt @ STC Open Show as well as two 2nd place gilts @ TP Junior Nationals.

Big Gulp Bottoms Up!

WTX 1 UP x Walk The Dog son

Bred by Mauck Show Hogs

Stress: Neg EN:5-3 Reg#: 124669003

PBG is very pleased to introduce BOTTOMS UP! our WTX 1 Up x “Walk The Dog Son” - $30,000 Top-Selling STC purchase from Mauck Showhogs. Like Perfect Storm with the Polands last year, this was a purchase we knew we had to make or we would have to be calling someone else to order a large quantity of semen on him to breed our Berkshire sows.

The entire crew was very passionate in their agreement that BOTTOMS UP! was as unique in putting his gorgeous design together with INCREDIBLE muscle shape and has a huge place we think not only in our Berkshire sows but in a large % of the Berkshire females in the country.

It seems every year we get asked - how much better can the Berkshires get? Like Shotgun Wedding last year, we think Bottoms Up! can help the bar to continue to be raised.

Kentucky Lovin’ x Dead Or Alive x What Else's LittermateBred by Mauck Showhogs

Stress Negative EN 23-2 Reg# 118957002

Kentucky Lovin’ x Dead or Alive x What Else's littermate sister from our Mauck bred gilt purchase. Just a mid-February, the bone this one has already is incredible and as you can see from the video he absolutely floats around the yard. May have the best set to his pasterns we have on any boar of any breed. That draws you in and THEN HE TURNS AND WALKS AWAY - and that is when the Oh My #$^**^&%^ comments start. JUST MASSIVE BONED & MONSTER WIDE with his tail head jacked way up in the air and he just walks and walks and walks. This guy is just flat out a blast to walk in the yard and admire. We be-lieve the Mauck’s have once again created a Berkshire masterpiece and we are thrilled to have him our gallery of Berkshire sires. Shotgun’s list of winners in one season can do the talking for him.

Shotgun WeddingHeat Stroke

Different Strokes x Hattie (All You Want)Bred By PBG

Stress Negative EN18-3 Reg# 113329003

Heat Stroke was a February boar we did not do justice to in the hustle to get the stud started. We did him a disservice by not showing him at the open house but those that saw him later loved him and used him on some really good females. The most massive Berkshire we offer with a tail set and set to his rear two that is ideal AND it is all wrapped up in a perfectly marked jet-black package.

As we have discussed elsewhere, most of the boars in stud have some great females behind them and he has our best 2 Berkshire sows directly behind him on the bottom side – Hattie – Grand Gilt 2010 InSF & Miss Hathaway the 2008 Team Purebred Foundation Female who is the basis for everything in our Berkshire program.

We have been very pleased to hear great reports on Heat Stroke babies in the SW this summer & fall including the $2500 Reserve & 4th Place Weanling gilts @ Duncan. These gilts were Heat Stroke on SuperFly’s littermate sister who stood 2nd @ San Angelo.

Superman x (Gary x Miss Hathaway)Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshire

Stress Negative EN 22-1 Reg# 115393001

SuperFly is the result of legendary genetics thru the mating of Superman (Bar None x Walk The Dog -2011 Houston Champ gilt) on a Gary x Miss Hathaway gilt we sold to Jones & Bennett. So when you have Bar None, Walk the Dog, Gary & Miss H as the grandparents this is what you would expect and it looks like it is proving to be a lethal concoction.

Superfly’s littermate gilts went 1-2 & Reserve @ San Angelo. The mother of Superfly was a littermate to the gilt we sold to Adam Beck and produced their record $7800 weanling gilt , $5100 gilt & $21K litter and that gilt & litter would be full-sibs to Superfly as they were sired by Superman as well. Thar litter produced the gilt that went on to win Champion Gilt @ 2013 WPX & Champion $7750 Open Gilt @ 2013 STC. If you like them stout and square and massive and clean-necked and sound and produced from legendary Berkshire greatness - we think we have a very good option for you to consider. Reports on Superfly babies came fast and loud and those reports proved out as SuperFly started with a bang with the $10,000 Champion Berkshire Male @ the Major League Sale in Texas. He then romped thru the South - Southwest with Champion Barrow Houston, Champion Barrow San Antonio; Reserve Grand Overall Gilt TP Southwest; Reserve Grand Overall Barrow TP. Southwest; 5th Overall Gilt TP Mid-South; 2 Class-winning gilts @ San Antonio; Champion & $7000 Gilt @ San Angelo Open; Champion Gilt San Angelo Jr Show; Reserve ($7500) Gilt & 8th Overall Berkshire Gilt OYE; Champion Barrow OK SW District ;2 class-winning gilts @ San Antonio; 2-2nd place barrows, 6th, & 8th place barrows @ San Antonio. SuperFly has continued his awesome run this summer including:

Superman x Kimberly (Different Strokes)Bred by PBG

Stress Negative EN 3-8 Reg#118673008

SuperBad is Superman x Kimberly ( Different Strokes x Anne (What Else x Hattie (Miss Hathaway x All You Want))) which lines up the best Berkshire female we bred for 3 straight generations and it all starts with the queen of our Berkshire herd - Miss Hathaway.

SuperBad has Superman, Bar-None, Walk The Dog, Different Strokes, What Else, & All You Want as the sires in his 1st 3 generations. On the female side he has the 2011 Houston Champion Gilt as his paternal grandmother and Hattie (Grand Gilt Indiana) as his maternal great-grandmother. Bot-tom line - genetically he has Berkshire greatness bred in.

So now we will talk about SuperBad himself. The best hip and hind leg set we have seen in a Super-man son and the most enormous blade and top we have ever put in one, maybe of any breed. The set to his rear pasterns are absolutely ideal AND he has super-clean but extremely powerful head & neck. Lots of great Berkshire boars available - we think SuperBad has a shot to be an absolute legend. Some very stout reports on Superbad babies with a few we know that are feeding boars they really like for the summer / fall..

SuperBad picked up Reserve Boar & Gilt honors @ Wisconsin State Fair Open Show.

Too Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand - Superman’s Dam)Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires

Stress: Neg EN: 6-7 Reg#: 120804007

PBG is proud to introduce Too Fly - SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Superman’s dam - 2011 Hous-ton Champ) son from Jones & Bennett Berkshires. . Too Fly is the boar most like his Grandfather Superman as far as being as wide as you would ever want to make one but the best part is he has the best hip laid in him of any Superman son we have seen. Monster topped, monster ribbed, blown way open and can go & go & go.

It has been very fun to see how good things have gotten as we have lined up Superman genetics. Pre-dictability out of this line is growing with each generation.

30 DAY GUARANTEE SETTLE

All semen purchased @ In-Season Full List Price will be guarantee settle IF reported within 30 days of semen ship date. Up to 2 re-breeds will be provided and must be consecutive breeding cycles. If de-sired to pay FULL IN-SEASON PRICE to obtain the guarantee settle insurance, let us know at time of ordering. All semen must be paid for in full to obtain the replacement semen. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to the 30-DAY policy.

So Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand- Superman’s Dam)Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires

Stress: Neg EN: 6-3 Reg#: 120804003

PBG is proud to introduce So Fly - SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Superman’s dam - 2011 Houston Champ) son from Jones & Bennett Berkshires. So Fly combines the best of all of Superman, Super-Bad, SuperFly & Big Gulp. Massively wide like all Superman’s but what makes him very unique is the extension and look that he brings. So Fly is the TOTAL PACKAGE putting together the best of many of his ancestors as we have seen.

It has been very fun to see how good things have gotten as we have lined up Superman genetics. Pre-dictability out of this line is growing with each generation.

Time Bandit X Head of the ClassBred by Keim’s Stress Negative

EN 3-5 Reg# 103447005

Not much needs to be said about this “living legend” in the Berkshire breed. Sired 9 State Fair Champion or Reserve Champion Berkshire Barrows in his 2011 crop including the Champion Berk barrow at Wisconsin that Warren Beeler said was the best he had seen! Torge’s track record of winning shows is unrivaled and we are thrilled to have him here at PBG. We loved him and his littermate sister at NBS and were not surprised that he accomplished what he did in his first full season. When we picked him up from Bryce, it was even more obvious to us why he has been so successful. He is massive boned, extremely sound, and very tall at the point of his shoulder. We think this guy can continue his dominance in siring better Berkshires for many years to come! The buyers list of Torge semen is a who’s who of the Berkshire breed as they recog-nize the very unique things Torge offers.

We think Torge offers another very good option on Superman daughters. Shelbi Gordon exhibited an OYE Class-winning gilt bred by the Gordon’s with Superman on a Torge daughter and confirmed what we thought that mating could produce.

Torge sired the Jervis Family’s $4750 Cham- pion & Top Selling Gilt @ the 2013 WPX Opens Show bred by Kent Brattain & Family. He also produced the 2013 IJSC Champion Berk & 2nd Overall Points barrow—Shown by Jester & bred by Larry White / Nathan Day. If you need to put a correct hip and hind leg and an up-headed but and moderate package—we believe Torge has done that as well as any in our opinion.

AC/DC x Kindergarden CopBred by Schmaling Bros Berkshires

Purchased from & Owned with Harlan ReidStress Negative EN 3-4 Reg# 11089004

TNT had a tremendous run last year with Champion Berkshire & 3rd Overall Gilt @ Team Purebred Nationals; WPX 3rd Overall Berkshire Barrow & 4th Overall Berkshire Gilt; Reserve Barrow @ InSF 4-H; Champion Berkshire Barrow & Gilt Missouri State Fair Open, Reserve Champion Berkshire Gilt Missouri State Fair 4H, Champion Berkshire Gilt Missouri State Fair 4H, & Champion AOB Gilt Kansas State Fair.

TNT was purchased as a mature boar from Harlan Reid as we loved the extension, look, and design he was putting into his off-spring. TNT did not disappoint as he had another great summer as he goes back-to-back with Champion Gilts @ Team Purebred Na-tionals. This year he produced the Champion AND Reserve Berkshire Gilts that went on to be named 3rd & 5th Overall. TNT also sired the Champion WPX Open show gilt.

Shotgun Wedding x Bar None x Man In BlackBred by Heimer Hampshires

EN - 3-1 Reg #12497001 Stress Negative

Like many in attendance at the Indiana State Fair, we thought Lilly Jackson’s Champion Berkshire Gilt who went on to be named 6th Overall was pretty special. When we asked about purchasing her, we found out there was a littermate boar. We quickly got word from those that saw him as a weanling that he was the clear “stud” of the litter. When we talked to Jesse he told us that he thought the boar was pretty special as well and that the litter also included the Champion AOB @ California State Fair and several gilts being retained.

When we saw Wedding Crasher in person we were glad we made the quick trip over as we feel he is absolute-ly a very unique Berkshire boar. He combines a flawless / athletic design with tons of shape and a powerfully jet-fronted head/neck. Big-legged and comes at you wide & true.

Shotgun Wedding has been rolling up huge wins all summer and we are thrilled to be able to offer a tremendous son to run alongside his dad.

Unfortunately, we were not able to get a picture in time for the catalog but will have one up as soon as possible.

Changing Lanes x Classic Steel Bred by Mench Showpigs

EN - 10-1 Reg # 145165001

PBG is very proud to introduce Shiftin’ Gears our Changing Lanes son - Private Treaty purchase from Mench - breeders of Changing Lanes. We think we have filled our Chester slot with an awesome son of the Chester sire that has been lighting it up: Grand Overall Barrow Arizona National, Champion Gilt American Royal, Champi-on & Reserve Chester @ NAILE, Champion Mature Chester Gilt @ Duncan.

Shiftin’ Gears is Changing Lanes on littermate sister to the dam of the NAILE Champion.

Very extended and cool with plenty of power in a SOUND package that REACHES and GRABS on his rear 2.

Shiftin’ Gears has grown into a very impressive mature boar. We have great faith in him and think he can make an awesome impact in the Chester breed.

Shiftin’ Gears

Bone Crusher x Lucky CharmBred by Kent Brattain & Family

EN - 3-4 Reg # 145654004

Party On got his name as that is what judge Brandon Ogle said about his littermate barrow who was 4th Overall Chester White Barrow @ WPX. “When this guy gets his head up - it is PARTY ON”.

Party On is as powerfully fronted and monster topped as we would want to make one. If you need to bust your Chesters open so that first look coming into the ring gets you noticed, we will be very surprised if Party On doesn’t get the job done for you.

One of our prime objectives last summer was to bring a GREAT Duroc to PBG. We had heard reports and saw videos of lots of really good red ones heading to WPX and the show did not disappoint in our opinion and WISE GUY was one of the key reasons we thought the show was stout. It took $30,000 to get it done but we were thrilled to be able to load WISE GUY onto the trailer and bring him home. We think he has all the tools to have a major impact in the Duroc breed.

WISE GUY draws you in with his powerful but extended head and neck and how he explodes into a massive rib and ripped top and stifle in a very sound and functional package. Then he turns to come at you and he absolutely blows you away with an incredible chest floor that runs perfectly true all the way to the ground with toes dead square at every corner. Simply put, we think he combines power, style and correctness that few have done and makes him an extremely unique breeding piece to produce winning showstock that will have the longevity to improve the Duroc breed for several generations.

Time seems to have a way of sorting the pretenders from the contenders - we are very confident WISE GUY will prove to be a very WISE investment from the legendary herd of GUY Jackson. Wise Guy absolutely stamped his off-spring big chested, and very structurally correct.

His first crop produced Morgan Wagner’s multi-time Grand Overall Gilt in Michigan as well as Albright’s Class-winning boar @ WPX. Probably the most impressive impression we would take from Wise Guy’s first crop is that he produced a ton of very high quality show gilts that could compete at a na-tional level and have the appearance of gilts that can become foundation sows in the future.

Royal Flush x God’s Gift Bred by JJ Genetics

EN 32-5 Reg# 343264005MM2 Bren x Problem SolverBred by Rick May

EN 2-2 Reg# 347260002

Bugatti is our $20,000 Top-Selling Duroc purchase from Rick May at the 2013 NSR STC.

As good a red boar to make barrows as we can imagine. Busted way open front to rear. Dead square all four corners. Beautifully extended yet powerful head and neck.

That first look is always a key one and the first look you get when Bugatti comes rolling at you is incredibly impressive.

We feel Brian Anderson described Bugatti very well in his summary of the STC Duroc sale in the Seedstock Edge where he said:

“This guy had a presence like no other, was super square & look liked a barrow-show winner needs to look, If your goal is to make a red one that can win hog shows, then you better take a serious look… This one had a style and class all his own.”

We agree. Combines power and freak in a very cool red package. Bugatti has become a beast since he has been home and has a huge full flank to match his awe-some base width and look.

With Wise Guy & Bugatti in stud we think we have a Duroc to cover your red females however you need to go. Bugatti does what he looks like he would - make them cool, flashy, & with tons of shape.

Bone Collector x Legacy x Major FeatBred by Lawyer Showpigs - Purchased from Chris Postier

Stress Negative

Massive everywhere with his daddy's style and design. Bone Chill's mother raised the Solo-mon gilt that was Reserve Cross and 3rd Overall @ the 2011 InSF and is consistently one of the top producers for the Lawyer's.

Easily one of the most impressive boars we rill out for visitors and we repeatedly hear com-ments that the picture of Chill does not do him justice and that he ranks in the very top group of boars they have seen. The softest most massive of our Bone Collector trio with the same impeccable structure and style. Bone Chill babies have been a mix of belted & blues and is

siring towards a black / chrome boar. Most importantly they are STOUT & WIDE & GOOD - probably throwing the most bone of any boar we offer.

Bone Chill had a very good run this winter with Class-winning boar @ the NSR WTC, Reserve Heavy Barrow @ Georgia National, Class-winning & 6th Place Hamp Barrows @ Houston & putting 2 gilts in the San Angelo STARS gilt sale. Chill had several great wins this summer including several Grand & Reserve County fair champions and his year was highlighted by Larame Boysen’s Iowa FFA Reserve & $9400 Top-selling Gilt and Samuel Diem’s gilt who won her county as well as multiple Grand Overalls on the IJSC.

Bone Yard

Bone Collector x Midnight Smoke(Dam is littermate to Walks On Water @ HiPoint)

Bred by Darrell Messner Family

Stress Negative

We discovered Bone Collector via Facebook so it only seems right that we find a son via that same route. Middle son Nolan was on vacation but was also getting a little pig searching done via the phone. When he saw the video the Messner’s had posted of Bone Yard , he called me right away to tell me I needed to take a look. What I saw blew me away, the most monster legged boar I had seen that had incredible BEAR CLAWS for feet, was as flexible as a Romanian gymnast, and had that classic Bone Collector up-headed Tennessee Walking-horse gait.

I called Garrett & Jake in to take a look to make sure I wasn’t missing something and they both quickly said - buy him now!!!. About 10 minutes later he was headed to Premi-um Blend.

We love the pictures we were able to get but-watch THE VIDEO is all we can ask. As unique a creature as we have seen roll across the screen & the yard.

If you are looking to moderate them and put freakish bone under them, Bone Yard is one to look at very hard.

Hillbilly Bone X Heavyweight x Crossbow$45K 3/4 Interest Purchase from Blake & Ty Goss and Larry Byers

Bred by Cody McCleery & Carl Kent

Bone Collector and Superman got us off to a flying start with Premium Blend Genetics When we saw the video of Bone on Facebook we felt we had to try to own him as we thought he could help lots of crossbred females make better showpigs by get-ting their feet and legs back where they needed to be and to jack their front ends up at the point that their shoulder is the highest point on their skeleton.

Bone Collector is massive boned but always STRUTS around the farm with his head up. We hoped he would stamp that look and he certainly has , as the BONE COLLECTOR STRUT is becoming a trademark of his offspring. Add to his “look” the soundness, flexibility, height at the point of the shoulder and extension in his neck. Add to that he is a HILLBILLY BONE son. Add to that he is HEAVYWEIGHT on CROSSBOW on his momma’s side. Add to that the fact that he is STRESS NEGA-TIVE. We think it all adds up to the TOTAL PACKAGE. We know there are some really good options for Hillbilly Bone sons out there and we offer Bone Collector as a proven choice that can get it done from coast-to-coast.

Customers rave about his babies from day 1 and they don’t stop raving about them. His ability to not just sire 1 or 2 salable pigs but 8 to 10 very valuable pigs per litter is what has customers coming back over and over. We have truly had incredible reports on almost any combo you can imagine.

Bone Collector stamps them - REALLY GOOD. Recent wins this summer include multiple county & jackpot grands; Class-win-ning barrow @ WPX; Class-winning & 4th overall Division 1 Gilt WPX; Grand Overall Barrow Wisconsin State Fair Badger Classic (Open Show); Reserve Middleweight Barrow Ohio State Fair 4H; 3 Class-winners Indiana State Fair 4H.

Double Barrel

Double Barrel is a very interesting breeding piece that we think offers a pretty cool option to breed to the Collector / Thug females that are starting to pile up in many breeding barns. This Colt 45 x Cowbell son brings a TON of shape but does so in an extremely athletic package. Double Barrel has turned heads with our on-farm visitors for his pliability and his athleticism. When you see the shape he brings you just don’t think he would be able to motor like he does.

Double Barrel’s littermate sister was shown by Taylor Norris in Texas and was a 6 time Champion Crossbred including the Champion Cross in both rings @ the TJLA Belt Buckle.

We think Double Barrel is a great fit to the Hillbilly Bone lines to add and sharpen the muscle pattern and put a beautiful front end on them.

Change Up

Changer x (Grimm’s Gem x Head On) - Full Strut’s DamBred by Heimer Hampshires

Stress: Negative

Change Up is backed by one heck of a cool pedigree. Point Maker x Swagger on Full Strut’s mom-ma. That is what got us interested in him but then when we went and looked at the boars, we became very interested! Change Up brings an awesome hip and rear leg design to a very powerful, soft and moderate package.

It is interesting to see how tours kind of follow the same pattern. As the Heimer boars have been in the isolation area, they are typically the last to be shown. Many times the note pads and pens are being put away by that time. Almost every tour the pad comes right back out when we roll Change Up out of his pen. This guy is just flat REALLY GOOD everywhere and it is very hard to put a hole in him ANYWHERE. He wasn’t anywhere near the most expensive boar we purchased this summer and his semen is priced way below others because of that. But, we can assure you lots of elite breeders have plans for Change Up on their breeding schedule this fall.

One of our primary objectives all spring & summer was to lay in boars that we think would com-plement the Collector / Thug line and we think Change Up does that very, very well.

Ghetto Cowboy

Bone Thug x No Fare x Daytripper (Grimm Yorkshire)Bred by Goss Showpigs Purchased from Goss & Gustafson Farms

Stress: Negative

PBG is very proud to introduce GHETTO COWBOY- Bone Thug x No Fare bred by Goss Livestock & purchased from Goss & Gus-tafson Farms. We had been talking to the Goss Family about the pair of Bone Thug sons they had out of littermate No Fare sows. When we lost Thug we knew we had to get this pair snapped up and we are thrilled we did.

Thug has been on an incredible run including the Champion Dark Cross Barrow @ Houston as well as a 2nd place Other Cross & 3rd place Hamp barrow. He also produced a class-winning Hamp barrow @ OYE, & the $18,500 top-selling on-line prospect in the country this spring, as part of Stohlquist $61,000 litter.

However, it is an absolute blessing to be able to tell our customers we have an awesome option that is very much like Thug. If he sires as strongly as he resembles Thug, it is going to stay real fun.

We have had several moments that we will remember for a long,long-time in the short 2 years we have been running the stud. One of those will certainly be the night Jake walked in and told me he just got a text from Aaron Cobb saying they had a boar they wondered if we might want to partner on. I asked the breeding and he said Creature x Bear x Supermonster on a Supermonster Vintage sow. THEN HE SHOWED ME THE PICTURE OF THE DAM. Needless to say we were WAY in.

We agree with many customers who have commented they don’t even need to see a picture of the boar, the pedigree and the picture of the sow is enough to know FRANCHISE better be in serious consideration for your breeding list. BUT we have the pleasure of getting to see the boar and he is one of the most impressively built hogs we have seen. His structure is impeccable, he has the classic Supermonster look to his front end, and he is loaded with soft pliable muscle, has monster back feet with pasterns way up off the ground.

First reports just starting to roll in and are VERY POSITIVE on Franchise babies!

Fame Monster x Super 8Stress Carrier - Bred by & Owned with Desert Showpigs

Judge Jason Hirschfeld described this guy as being a “creature” - and we thought that was a perfect description – unfortunately that name is taken! This guy is WAY out there in bone, width and muscle and we said if he throws that into his babies – it will be really fun to watch. Not for the faint of heart – he is a MONSTER!

Monster Quest has been a visitor favorite and his first litters are on fire in California and his babies have been reported as barn favorites at many of our customers this Spring. The customer list on Monster Quest has some of the most elite herds in the country and that list is growing quickly as word spreads. Many said last year they had to breed at least one to him so they wouldn’t look like an idiot if he hit.

Well – It looks like he is hitting – GRAND SLAMS!!! HUGE bone and can handle it and brings an awesome look along with it. Partial list of winners to date.. Grand Market Hog KY State Fair, Grand Gilt Cow Palace, Grand Barrow Alabama State Fair. $5100 Class-winning boar Fall Classic. Champion Prospect & Reserve Over-all Western Bonanza, Reserve Progress Barrow – Western Bonanza & numerous Grand Overall Jackpot titles.

Monster Quest continues to be RED HOT with Champion Boar @ WTC & Reserve & $25,000 Top-Selling Boar @ Belton & Class-winning Hamp @ Arizona National. Monster Quest has earned his place as one of the VERY ELITE sires in the nation. Monster Quests prolific winning with Grand Overall Gilt Cow Palace and numerous grands & reserves at the very competitive California County fairs.

Monster quest

Feet and legs-dead square. Toes-perfect. Joints clean as a whistle. Comes out of his blade with incredible power. Massive chest. Incredible top-shape that blends very smoothly back into his ham - and that is where we and those that have seen him in person think he is absolutely one of a kind. We have never seen a stifle that is this full and square all the way up to the tail head - it is almost literally straight across from his tail head out to the edges of his massive hams - which look like they were chiseled out of granite. Sounds

freakish as you describe is yet it all blends together perfectly.

GunSlinger started to pile up the victories in early fall and that is what we heard repeatedly last summer - wait until you see my GunSlinger barrow / gilt. Grand Overall Barrow American Royal, Grand Overall New York State Fair, Res Light Cross Male Duncan, Numerous County Grand Overalls as well as 5 Class-winners InSF 4H, Class-winning $2500 gilt InSF Crossbred Classic from Mench & $10,000 2nd Place boar Crossbred Classic from Perry Genetics.

One of the frequent questions we get—”Where does GunSlinger work” Here is what we see and has been reported to us as trends so far. Feet and legs are impeccable across the board. Off-spring will be sound as a cat. Color will follow the dam. Pure Yorks tend to be very largely snow white, belts go belted, sows that have red will get calico or red-belts. Babies are immature and very loose in their design. Babies will tend be not shredded early but when you want it you can get it - FAST. He will put as monster a channel down a top as any.

Most common trend on where he works - Take him to as much bone and width as you can. He lets great sows do their stuff. We think he is a “breeders” boar. You can see the twinkle in the eye of

the guys that saw what he did on their stuff this year as they have a year under their belt to know where to go to really make it fun. We think that if you know how to use him - the aisles will clear when the GunSlingers roll into the show.

Gunslinger has continued his great run with Reserve Light Cross Weanling Male @ Duncan & 6th place Hamp Barrow @ Houston

From the Dam & Grandam that brought us Bone Thug, PBG is proud to introduce our latest addition to the Exotic line-up. Monster Stick x Warfare x Square Deal. Bred by Goss Showpigs. When the Goss’s hesitated in how they would rank Thug vs

Smoke we knew we better pull the trigger - real fast.

Thug double and triple booked from August until late November and it was certainly great to have an option for customers wanting a similar pattern and the same awesome female line behind him. It is going to take a long time before we say we like him better than THUG but visitors are wanting to put him there and the fact that their is even a debate makes us feel really good about the future.

Same square design as Thug in a very “Showy” package.. Monster legged, huge stifle, tail set way up in the air!!! The most frequent question we got on Smoke was - “What color will he throw?”

First reports on Smoke babies are off the charts and the all im-portant color question seems to be he will throw color similar to a chrome/belted boar on white crosses with belted, blues and whites reported on half Yorks.

Outlier

Bone Thug x Shoot EmBred by Jeff Ramsey & Family

Stress: Negative

OUTLIER - The Thug son that is COMPLETELY different than any we have ever seen. Bone Thug x Shoot "Em x (Big Step x Fatal) son bred by Jeff Ramsey & Family. We were hoping we would find a Thug son this summer that had that freaky and powerful front end. We ended up finding him much sooner than we had hoped. Certainly a very different and very cool design for a Bone Thug son.

Combines monster bone, excellent flexibili-ty, angles at every corner that you dream for, huge top and rump shape & tops it all off with one of the most impressive head and neck de-signs we have seen.The term we think best describes Outlier is simply- HE IS A MAN. Just has a look and presence that endures any time frame. Outli-er would be impressive no matter the decade. When you can put this much mass, rib, top shape and look in to this kind of package - you just have to admire it. There are very few females we would not recommend Outlier to be a great fit.

Supermonster x Big Ern x 7-2

Bred by Dan Young - Young Livestock Stress Carrier Purchased from Warye & DeOrnellas

Young Ambition is the Supermonster son that we have been looking for ever since we started the stud. We saw the picture Paul Warye put on Facebook and were planning to give Ronnie or Paul a call the next day. But Ronnie beat us to it and called us that after-noon saying he had the best Supermonster son that he had ever seen and he had traveled thousands of miles and countless hours looking. So we hopped in the truck, headed two

hours east, handed Paul a $50,000 check and headed home with a boar that we love to let out and just roll across the yard. Young Ambition was purchased as a weanling for $10,000 from Dan Young. They told us that he was the most impressive baby they had seen and others have told us the same. He has the Supermon-ster design and look with a MONSTER chest floor that is dead true all the way to the ground. Massive rib that flows back into a super deep flank. Tons of muscle and top shape that is loose and long that allows him to float around all day long.

We have quickly noticed the trend that great boars have great females behind them and this guy certainly does. His mother is the Big Ern x 7-2 sow at Dan Young's that raised the Grand Overall Barrow at the Missouri State Fair shown by Bailey Pope that was a very impressive beast.

Sam Warye showed the Young Ambition’s littermate barrow pictured to Grand Overall Honors (800 Head Shown) @ the Champaign Co (OH) 4-H fair. Young Ambitions other littermate was 2nd in class to the Champion Cross & Reserve Grand Overall InSF that Mr. Kirkpatrick described as the deepest he saw all week.

Supermonster on the Bone Collector / Hillbilly Bone lines is already making a splash and we are very confident Young Ambition can get it done. Young Am-bition on daughters out of the Bone Collector line-up - WOW!

PBG is very proud to introduce THUG LUV- Bone Thug x No Fare son purchased from Goss Show-pigs. We had been talking to the Goss Family about the pair of Bone Thug sons they had out of lit-termate No Fare sows. When we lost Thug we knew we had to get this pair snapped up and we are thrilled we did.

We think Thug Luv combines the best of Bone Thug & No Fare and has a strong resemblance to his maternal grand-sire - No Fare. Add more top shape, more bone, & more extension to Bone Thug and that is where we see Thug LUV. For those wanting to use Thug but were afraid to use him on the ultra-moderate power gilts , we think Thug Luv is the perfect option.

We hated losing Thug but we are certainly thrilled to be able to offer this pair of Thug sons that we are extremely confident can pick up where Thug left off.

Hired Gun

Bone Thug x Johnny MonsterBred by Weisinger Farms

Stress: Negative

HIRED GUN is our Bone Thug x Johnny Monster son from Weisinger Farms. It has been fun to watch the littermates to many of our boar purchases go on to be very successful this summer. Hired Gun certainly falls into that category as well as his littermate sister was very successful on the Illinois circuit prior to grabbing 5th Overall gilt honors @ WPX. She then went on to win Grand Overall Gilt honors @ the Iowa Circuit Grand Finale.

It is very fun to be able to roll this guy out for boar viewings. Powerfully fronted - but a very cool head and neck rolls back into a huge blade and keeps on roll-ing back thru a monster top and big ole rump. All on an ideal and MASSIVE set of wheels.

Hired Gun wins the “You have to re-picture him” award this summer as we are told frequently he is much better than his picture. Specifically the size of his front legs just do not read thru well on photos. THEY ARE HUGE.

Hit Man

We are very proud to introduce HITMAN the youngest (1st of February) member of the Weisinger "Gang of 4" we purchased just prior to WPX. Bone Thug x Monster Pipe stress negative son that we are thrilled to have

in the boar barn.

Nate & Sarah weren't real keen on letting this one go early as they told us they really enjoyed going out to the barn every night to look at him. We were finally able to get him bundled into the package and will certainly admit it is very fun to get him out and study him every day,

Freak on a leash but complete and can handle it. We love this young thug. HITMAN's littermate barrow and gilt sold for $7000 & $5000 earlier this spring. Two if his littermate barrows have won Grand Overall titles so far this summer.

Many thanks again to Weisinger Farms for working with us to get Hitman, Assassin, Sniper & Hired Gun laid into PBG.

We were absolutely thrilled to be able to lay in the "Weisinger Gang of 4" Bone Thug sons who we have named Assassin, Hired Gun, Hit Man, & Sniper.

Sniper is the Bone Thug x Claim To Fame son who comes from one of the Premier litters of 2014. First you have the Denton Sanders gilt who was the Champion Crossbred Points Gilt on the Iowa Cir-cuit as well as 5th Overall Division 2 @ WPX. Next you have Carter Hoge’s gilt who was 3rd Overall Division 3 WPX as well as picking up Grand Overall titles in Illinois. Finally we have Assassin - his brother who is also in stud @ PBG.

Sniper is the muscle hog of the gang as he has as much top shape as any Thug we have seen. Carrier-like muscle in a negative package. Like his littermate Assassin he brings a tremendous set of wheels with tons of reach and flex to his hocks. If you are looking for a Thug son to add shape, there is no doubt we will recommend Sniper as a great option.

The rear leg design, set to his pasterns, and ability to reach up to his sheath and push off way behind his stifle is what sets Assassin apart in our eyes. To do that with tons of body, mass, & rib makes him a true breeding piece in our opinion.With numerous Thug sons now in stud, the most frequent question we get is - Which one is best? We are absolutely thrilled with all of them and it truly is dependent on how you need to breed them, but ASSASSIN will most certainly be in the top trio of all of our lists. This guy is flat-out incred- i-ble in our opinion.

Visionary the Bone Collector x Super Monster son of the $500,000 3/4 interest pair of boars purchased from Steve Cobb & Family.

When he walked out of the Cobb's boar barn the first thing that hit us was his tree-trunk back legs that truly look fake. Then you see his hip which is the longest and best hip and makes him one of the most athletic boars we have seen out of Collector or Thug. Then you see his barrel rib and absolutely massive flank. Then the real topper is one of the most uniquely-powerful but extended head/necks you can imagine. Visionary was Aaron's favorite of the pair as he combines power in an awesome show barrow look.

The Cobbs posted the following on their site about Visionary: “WE READ THIS ONE AS A SHOW BAR-ROW SIRE SUPREME!!! He is incredibly square! He is incredible heavy boned! He’s tremendous in his hip and rear leg! I mean perfect! His hip design and the squareness of his hock is so key!!! He is going to be a true CHANGER and FIXER in our opinion!!!

Andrew Hodges showed Visionary’s littermate barrow to 1st place in the youngest class at WPX.

We truly believe Visionary can take showpigs to a whole new level of combining stout-ness and agility. Many talk about where we are going - we think with Visionary we have already seen the future - and it is a very cool sight to see!!!

TOP GUN is our $50,000 Maverick full-sib On-Line purchase from Steve Cobb & Family. When you see his mom (pictured) you feel really good that Top Gun is bred to look like this and will pass his look along to his off-spring. Like his littermate ICE MAN, TOP GUN combines cool & power with rib, top-shape and muscle. "Showhog look" may be hard to define but you know it when you see it and we think TOP GUN & ICE MAN have it in spades - a pair of very cool cats.

Probably the most flexible of the pair. Steve Cobb commented as they loaded him onto our trailer that he thinks TOP GUN may have as much to offer to breed to their females as any of the 3 Maverick full-sibs that were auctioned. They backed that up by purchasing back interest in both full-sibs to breed some of their best to them.

Stress Carrier

MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE with as stout and impressive a skull as you can put on one. RUSH HOUR brings power everywhere you study him and yet ties it together in a complete and functional package. We think freak on a leash best describes what makes a sire a great one for us and RUSH HOUR fits that description very, very well. The fact that he spices things up with some color is a very nice bonus to be able to offer our customers.

It seems like 4 has been a common number this year as we added the Weisinger "Gang Of Four", the Cobb "Fantastic Four" and now Rush Hour joins Thug Nation, Trust Fund & Rap Sheet to complete the Goss "Phenomenal Phour".

As we have had the chance to view and visit with these firms, there is clearly one common thread be-hind the way they each approach breeding showpigs - sow power that has been built for many gener-ations emphasizing structural correctness to the point of obsession. Each of these boars are the result of many years studying females from the ground up and hording great females like they are the Hope diamond.

If you need to blow them apart & stouten them up and want to get some color in your babies - we offer Rush Hour to get you in the fast lane and to your final destination - in a hurry.

RAP SHEET is our Bone Thug x Warfare son bred by Goss Livestock - the breeders of the man himself - Bone Thug. RAP SHEET is a Bone Thug X (Warfare x Monster 52-4 x Square Deal (Thug's Grandma)).

The double photo of the Square Deal sow is not a mistake - she is on the top and bottom of Rap Sheet’s pedigree and we think it is one of the coolest pedigrees we have ever typed out. Having Thug’s Grandma - the incredible Larry Moore Square Deal pure York sow - on both top and bottom gets us way amped up on what RAP SHEET will be able to do in the showpig world.

RAP SHEET comes at you like a Mack Truck and his chest shot is eerily like the photo that drew lots of attention to his dad. A beast that definitely has his dad's influence written all over him.

We appreciate the Goss Family for continuing to build great specimens and working with us to keep them rolling into the stud.

Thug power and mass blown way open front and rear in an incredibly powerful but extended package. Gorgeous design to his angles and a very correct hip design. What we think makes THUG NATION most unique is the flexibility and reach and impeccable set to his pasterns that he brings along with all of his power.

From his massive shoulder thru his barrel rib and huge top, back to his huge hip, this is one of the most unique Hampshire boars we have seen. There are parts here that we think can do some SERIOUS changing in the Hamp-shire breed. Mark’d Man traces back to Mark Long’s famous Black Oak sow that has been as influential in the Hampshire breed for the last 5-10 years as any we know of. Another example of a great boar with Hall Of Fame female blood-lines backing him up.

We hate to be redundant in describing him but -LOOK AT THAT FOREARM AND MASSIVE RIB AND HOW IT EXPLODES – (REPEAT AGAIN FOR EMPHASIS) - EXPLODES - ALL THE WAY BACK TO HIS HUGE STIFLE.. There was a pretty cool time not long ago when the Hampshire breed had a large group of very interesting and independent breeders who were constantly reaching out and trying things that they believed would make the Hampshire breed better. The night before the Indiana State Fair Hampshire show there would be huge groups getting boars out and studying and discussing them well into the morning. We think it would be an abso-lute blast seeing them study Mark’d Man .

There are good cool-looking boars that take an awesome picture if you hit them for the absolute right nano-second and then there are BREEDING PIECES. We think Mark’d Man has some things that give him a shot to be a truly unique breeding piece in the Hampshire breed. We know we have never seen one like him!!!

Mark’d Man’s first babies look flat out incredible—stout, moderate, massive and huge boned. Maybe 2 of the best Hampshire litters we have started and we have had calls from customers with the same report - STOUT, MODER-ATE, MASSIVE BONED.

Mark’d Man scored a great win with Champion Hampshire Gilt Iowa FFA

Capital Investment x Long Time ComingBred by Heartland Elite Showpigs

Mayhem is a Hampshire boar that is flat out exciting to us. He is moderate in his frame, HUGE in his bone and foot, extremely wide coming and going, all while traveling com-fortably & straight on all four. Mayhem’s mother was the Reserve Hamp Gilt at the 2011 Indiana State Fair. Mayhem’s littermate won Grand Overall Barrow @ Wabash County (IN) and that is one tough banner to bring home.

Mayhem stunned us when we walked him out last winter. He looked better than he ever has and many have said he is one of the most impressive mature Hampshire boars they have seen in a long time. He is MONSTER legged and can get out and roll – AN IMPRESSIVE BEAST. Not only does he look impressive in how he handles his power, his babies are flaw-less in their design.

MAYHEM sired 2 of the best Hampshire boars we have seen in a while in the $90K InSF Champ No Debate & the $16K Duncan Champ we purchased - Anarchy. Along with the Grand boar at Indiana & Duncan, the Rule Family showed a Mayhem barrow that was a class-winner @ InSF 4-H and went on to be Reserve Hamp @ NBS. Matt Morehouse also raised another InSF 4-H class-winning barrow.

We think many used Mayhem like we did and shied away from power. We have changed the way we are going with him and are going to take him to power as he will certainly keep the power in them and it looks like he will put incredible wheels under them. Hampshires may be the most challenging breed out there but the reason the stands at Indiana are still packed for the Hampshire show is because when you can put Hampshire boars together like the Cooks did at Indiana and Duncan and like the NAILE Champion shown by Lexi Delaney produced by Keppy’s - there is nothing more fun to watch drive across the ring.

Mayhem continues his awesome run with Reserve Hampshire Gilt @ Ft Worth & Reserve Hampshire Gilt @ San Antonio (2 different gilts).

Shark Tank x Outlook (Littermate to Bad Cat)Bred by Vickrey ShowpigsEN:2-3 Reg#: 123305003

Stress: Negative

Bad Cat has done an incredible job for us and is rolling up the big banners. So when the Vick-rey’s called us about a boar they thought even more potential than Bad Cat we were going to listen. Shark Tank x Bad Cat’s littermate puts mass and structure and soundness all into one very impressive Landrace boar. What makes JAWS a great fit for us is that we think he is a perfect compliment to Bad Cat phenotypically.

The Vickrey’s believe JAWS can have as much impact as any they have produced to date.

Awesome in his design and angles we see Jaws as a great fit for powerful Landrace show gilt mommas.

JAWS

If you are in the hunt for a Landrace to make them stout, moderate and showy, we are extremely confident BAD CAT is the best option we have seen for a long time. MASSIVE topped , MASSIVE chest, MASSIVE as he travels away from you and yet his feet and legs are awesome and can motor all day long. This one truly shocks people when we walk him out.

Similar to the statement we made when we got Superman - If his babies take after their dad, you are going to be in the hunt.

We thought he could be an absolute terror in the Landrace breed - and that is proving to be the case.

Bad Cat got off to an awesome start this winter / spring with Champion Barrow NJSA Western Regional, Greg & Susan Gonzalez’s Grand Overall Club Pig @ The Western All Breeds Show.

He hammered it down this summer with:

Stress: Neg EN: 2-5 Reg#: 43622005

Perfect Storm is our $35,000 STC Poland China boar purchase with the Frank Sandall family-from Jeff & Margaret Win-go. With the private treaty purchase of Titleist - our negative Dang Good Hog son from the Sandalls we had decided we would only be interested in a Poland boar if we found one that was the most monster boned one we had seen.

We have never seen front toes this wide and square on a Poland and not on very many of any breed. Then we see the set to his front and rear pasterns and they are PERFECT. Then we see he is Stress Negative. Then we see him roll down the aisle in an incredibly athletic package. You will rarely see a Poland that reaches and grabs the ground with his rear pas-terns like Perfect Storm. Then we see his rib, body & mass. Then we see his awesome top and rump shape. Then we see he is 3/4 outcross to PSSS Nom Nom Nom and an outcross to the Pretty Good Hog / Dang Good Hog / Done Deal lines and it hit us all as the PERFECT STORM.

With his first season just wrapping up it is clear - Perfect Storm has helped take Poland Chinas to a whole new level.

Perfect Storm x Old SchoolBred by Brattain Farms

Stress: Carrier EN: 1-2 Reg#: 44553002

It has certainly been a very rewarding show season to see the Poland China breed grabbing overall banners and especially to have a role in that with Perfect Storm having a truly outstanding season to date. So we are very pleased to announce that we have partnered with J.R. Reid to purchase STORM CHASER - our $30,500 private auction purchase from Brattains. We are not sure we have seen this kind of Storm brewing around a private auction for a Poland boar for a while and we think he is very worthy of the interest and the price tag.

STORM CHASER is a stress carrier son of Perfect Storm on Brattain’s Old School sow that was 3rd Overall Team Purebred (Champion Poland) @ the 2012 WPX Jr Show. Storm Chaser’s littermate gilts were named Champion & Reserve Poland @ Team Purebred National and the Champion Gilt was named Reserve Overall Team Purebred Gilt. His littermates stood 2nd, 3rd, 4th & 8th in class @ WPX and included Dalaney Vickrey’s 4th Overall (Re-serve Poland) Team Purebred Gilt.

We are thrilled to see Polands grabbing the BIGGEST banners available and we are confident Storm Chaser can continue that trend.

PSSS Nom Nom Nom x PayloadBred by Raymond Rice

Stress Carrier EN: 3-1 Reg # 43763001

Full Force is our NBS purchase from Raymond Rice and is a stress carrier son of PSSS Nom Nom Nom x Payoff.

The fact that we already had 5 Poland boars that we think combine to provide a very stout and diverse offering should give you a pretty good indication of how we feel about Full Force. Jake and Nolan told me there was a Poland boar we really needed to buy and I asked them one question - “ Do we need him to breed to our sows?” and they both said absolutely. When he rolled off the trailer - I was thrilled they pushed hard to get him.

Full Force is one that will see big time use on those females in our herd that need to get blown open and keep their shape and put excellent structure under them. This is one pretty amazing Poland boar in our opinion.

Boar for boar, we think Full Force can go toe-to-toe with Perfect Storm and if you have toured the stud you know we LOVE Perfect Storm. Each one is unique in a different area but we are thrilled to be able to offer both out of our stud. We know how Mr Rice feels about this one and we agree and are not going to shy away from telling everybody we can that this is one incredible Poland China boar in our opinion. Visitors who have seen him agree that he is big time. This is why I listen when the boys get excited - told me we had to have him and I absolutely agree. HE IS A BEAST & HE CAN ROLL!!! Full Force is off to a great start here and will be seeing a very large number of our best this summer & fall!!!

PBG is thrilled to announce the purchase of "Crew Love" the $6000 NBS Champion & Top-selling Spot boar from the Malone’s that is an absolute truck. Sired by Entourage on a Big Gulp daughter. Double Take & Radioactive have been very popular and we were hoping to find another good Spot to meet the demand. We were thrilled to have Crew Love show up at NBS and to be able to bring him to PBG.

If you need to add power and mass into your Spots and still keep them sound - we think Crew Love can get it done - BIG TIME. We believe with Radioactive and Crew Love we were able to add 2 of the very best Spot boars produced in 2013.

Dang Good Hog x UnstoppableBred by Hayden Sandall

Stress Negative EN 5-3 Reg#43387003

Titleist is our $7500 Private Treaty purchase from the Sandall Family. Stress Negative son of Dang Good Hog on an Unstoppable dam. Littermate to the gilts that did very well on the 2013 circuit for the Sandalls and sold for $4500 to Hirschfeld privately and JR Armstrong purchased the other for $1600 at the STC. The only downside to buying Perfect Storm was our concern that no matter how hard we tried he will overshadow one of the better Poland boars we have seen in a while in Titleist. We knew from his video he was impeccable in his structure. The way he reaches and grabs the ground on his back two is pretty rare in the Poland breed in our opinion.

What we didn't know from the video was that he would be bringing the massive top and rib that he has. This guy can absolutely float all day and has an up-headed look-at-me presence. Don’t miss out on one of the most uniquely sound yet powerfully attractive Polands we have seen for a LONG time.

Following the trend of a great female behind them, Titleist is out of the Unstoppable gilt Hayden pur-chased from ASI that was 3rd Overall @ Springfield and Champion Poland & Reserve Overall Gilt @ Nebraska State Fair 4-H. Titleist consistently sires power and muscle on an up-headed package. Hayden Sandall pulled a Reserve Overall with his Titelist gilt on the Nebras-ka circuit and Titleist sired the Reserve Gilt Iowa FFA

Like No Other x Double FeatureBred by Lowdermilk & Hege

Stress Carrier EN 4-1 Reg#152303001

RADIOACTIVE is our $10,000 Like No Other x Double Feature purchase from Lowdermilk & Hege. Huge boned. Huge and powerful out of his blade. Huge ribbed. Huge topped. Dead square on all 4 corners. We think as square a rump as we have seen in a Spot boar with a tail head that is high as you can put one. We aren't going to profess to be masters of the Spot breed by any stretch but we certainly study them enough to believe that this is one UNIQUE Spot boar. Like we said on Superman - if his barrows look like him - STAND BACK!!! A huge thanks to the Lowdermilk & Hege family's for contacting us on this guy - HOLY COW!

It seems like how a boar matures thru the 12- 16 month range gives us a very good indication of how his off-spring will do in the showring and it looks like that is proving out with Radioactive this summer. So far we have reports of Champion Spot Gilt Indiana State Fair 4H. Reserve Junior Division Spot Gilt InSF 4H, Champion Overall Spot Barrow (Champion 4H) Missouri State Fair . Champion Spot Gilt Iowa 4H along with multiple county grands including several getting into top 5 slots.

Ram It x S & LBred by Matt & Tammy Miller

Stress Carrier EN 84-2 Reg# 149793002

Double Take is one exciting Spot boar! We love boars that we feel can be “movers and shakers” within their respective breeds, and when we saw DOUBLE TAKE in Des Moines last year, we thought he was one of the more extreme Spot boars we had seen! This is one massive, wide, heavy boned dude! We think he we was the widest chested boar we saw of any color in the barn at WPX, and we expected him to produce elite spot showpigs that will be tough to beat.

We had to do some serious convincing of some folks how good Double Take looked when we got him home. Many of them are now reporting that their best Spots are Double Takes and they are coming back for more.

Double Take has an awesome summer. Producing Champion Spot and 5th Overall @ the Wisconsin State Fair Badger Classic ; Champion Spot Gilt Ohio State Fair Open Show; Reserve Champion Spot Gilt Ohio State Fair 4-H. Class winning barrow - Team Purebred Springfield, Reserve Overall Gilt Hancock Co (IN) 4-H

DoubleTake has gotten even hotter in the Southwest with Reserve Champion Gilt @ Houston, 3rd Overall Spot Gilt San Ange-lo Open, 2nd place barrow @ Houston, Class-winning Gilt @ San Antonio

HRR 11 Lightning 1-3 x MG Dozer 2-8Bred by Doug Loof

EN: 15-2 Reg # 272211

FERRARI was our $4000 private-treaty purchase from Doug Loof. He is out of HRR11 Lightning 11-3 and the Reserve Gilt @ the 2012 Indiana State Fair Open show sired by MG Dozer 2-8.

Our goal is to offer the most elite genetics available in every breed and we are as confident that FERRARI fits that bill as any boar in stud. If he does not have a significant impact to help continue the improvement of the Tamworth breed, we will be very surprised. We purchased Ferrari very late in the season and he is very young but it has been a blast to see visitor’s faces when we roll him out. His back legs look like a FLUFFY show steer ready for the grand drive. Huge topped, cool fronted, huge ribbed, and perfect Tamworth breed characteristics.Very unique and interesting breeding piece.

Not a ton of folks got see Ferrari as he got here very late last fall so he was used very lightly last fall. But in VERY few litters Ferrari produced the Champion Tamworth Barrow, the 4th Overall Tamworth Barrow, & the 5th Overall Tamworth Gilt @ Team Purebred Nationals .

You don’t tug on Superman’s cape, you don’t spit in the wind and .......you don’t ignore Doug Loof when he tells you about Herefords. Rusty Gold was the Hereford boar Doug told us last summer was the best he ever bred. Everything that could go wrong went wrong with Rusty. Collected WAY young and ranted out to nothing right before the open house. He found a ride on some really good females but it was late in the season and we just didn’t want to carry him all thru the summer as spring/summer are not large Hereford seasons. BUT then Rusty goes to the National Hereford Show this Fall & with 6 gilts shown & wins 4 classes with 1 gilt 2nd to another Rusty, & the other 3rd. Grabs Champion & $2100 co-top selling gilt for the Geer Family & Champi-on Gilt in the Junior Show.

Rusty Gold just picked up his 2nd straight National Level Champion Gilt with TP Southwest Champion honors.

Better Be Ready & his sons.

clean head and neck. Wrap that all in an ideal Hereford marked package that is bred in and we think he

can keep the Hereford train rolling forward at full speed.

Grand Drive x Quick FixBred by Lane MaiStress: Negative

EN:16-4 Reg#:554711004

We are very pleased to introduce “INNER DRIVE” - our WPX Yorkshire purchase. INNER DRIVE is a Grand Drive x Quick Fix son bred by Lane Mai. We were looking for a moderate barrow-making York and Jake called me as soon as INNER DRIVE hit the ring and said he was pretty sure he found him. Stout, moderate, AND straight and true to the ground on both ends. We absolutely believe he is one of the better barrow-making Yorkshire boars we have seen in a while.

Doc Logan x Mighty Mack 74-1Bred by Ricker Yorkshires

EN 76-6 Reg# 544486006

Cloud 9 is our $60,000 2013 WPX purchase from Ricker Yorkshires. Very intriguing in his combination of a powerful yet extended head and neck. Massive in his top and chest and all wrapped up in a very correct structure with a hip design that is nearly perfect in our judgment. If you’re tired of Yorkshires that have a speed-bump-like ham-loin junction we aren’t sure we have seen many that we think can fix that faster than C9. Add the backing of the elite Ricker Showpigs Yorkshire herd and going back the Mighty Mack 74-1 line makes us feel really good about his predictability. It seems like showpigs that can bring extension along with tremendous power thru their front ends AND carry that power all the way thru are sorting to the top pretty quickly. We think CLOUD 9 combines that as well as any Yorkshire we have seen in a long, long time. We think he will be able to make a huge splash in the showpig world and produce breeding stock to influ-ence several generations. We think CLOUD 9 can help make your dreams come true.

What we are hearing so far on Cloud 9’s is that their structure is impeccable, they will start off green and then they will come on like a freight train. Cloud 9 has had a very good summer and is even more popular in person and in orders than he was in his first season. He is passing on his impeccable structure and is stamping his off-spring with an ability to handle a tremen-dous amount of width and top shape. Cloud 9 had an especially good showing @ WPX as he sired the 3rd Overall Yorkshire Gilt, the 4th Overall Div 1 Gilt, & the 5th Overall Div 3 gilt in the junior show. In the WPX Open show Cloud 9 sired the Reserve & $7000 2nd top-selling gilt.

Invite Only

Shoot The Moon x WOWBred by Brandon Ogle & Ed Meers

Stress: Negative EN:4-2 Reg#:

Invite Only is our Shoot The Moon x WOW son from Eddy Meers & Brandon Ogle. Saying you project a boar as a gilt sire used to be the kiss of death. With the NJSA program in place, great Yorkshire gilts are worth their weight in gold. SO, we will say proudly that we think Invite Only has big-time show-gilt maker written all over him.

The term “tree-trunk legs” gets thrown around a bunch but this boar has just enormous legs. Mas-sive everywhere you study him yet with a gorgeous design. His hip design, the angles of his rear joints and the set to his pasterns are ideal.

We were hoping to do a major upgrade to our Yorkshire line-up this summer. Now that The Proph-et, White Rhino, Inner Drive, & Invite Only have joined Cloud 9 we feel very confident we have one of the elite sets of Yorkshires you will find anywhere.

Shape all wrapped up in a Sound, Square, & Flexible package.

As it seems with most boars in stud, White Rhino has an incredible female behind him as his mother was

the $16,000 Reserve Grand Overall Gilt @ the 2013 Indiana State Fair 4-H show (pictured below)

As rare as his namesake WHITE RHINO has a shot to do some awesome things in the Yorkshire breed.

THE PROPHET, our $130,000 Slow Ride on Eclipse son purchased from RW Genetics at STC. THE PROPH-ET has been extremely popular with visitors and we are as confident that he will be a BANNER-GRABBING sire as any we have put in stud.

Some boars just seem to have an IT factor and we think THE PROPHET definitely falls into that category. THE PROPHET puts freak and complete together about as well as we have seen it done and are thrilled to have him in stud @ PBG. Combine his design with an outcross pedigree that provides an option for a large number of the elite Yorkshire females across the country.

We think THE PROPHET has everything it takes to win big time and we are very excited to see what the future brings.
