| Hats Off $68,000 Champion Hampshire Boar 2011 IN State Fair Bred By Watsons & Purchased by A Cut Above |
I greatly appreciate Mike, Steve and Ruth having me down to go through their offering for Tuesday’s Cornerstone Genetics Sale. Special thanks to Mike for taking the time to show me their sale entries as well as the sows behind these hogs. I would challenge you to find a set of Hampshire sows as powerful and good skeletoned as what Mike has put together. Some of the highlights of the sow tour include the mother of Hats Off and the former IN State Fair Jr. Show Grand Champion gilt who has been highly influential within their herd.

This set of Watson gilts that are going to be sold in the CornerstoneGenetics sale provides an opportunity to buy into elite Hampshire genetics. There is a strong set of Wide Range and Homemade 17-3 Hampshire gilts that will make great show projects but most importantly, the kind of Hampshire females that you can build with. Some of the breed’s elite sows are found in the pedigrees of these gilts offered for sale.
I also want to make it a point to tell you how good I think this set of the crossbred barrows is. This is a really square, flexible, great-designed set that are built right and can be bought with confidence.

For the particulars on individual hogs, be sure to call myself or Mike Watson.
On a final note, Mike made sure that I had a chance to see his potential boar entries for the breeding hog show at the Fall Classic. There is a Hats Off son out of the Frozen in Time dam that was Reserve at Duncan this past year. He is truly one of the more unique Hampshire boars you will see. There is also a Point Taken son whose grand dam is the former IN State Fair Grand Champion Gilt in the Junior Show. Be sure to look these hogs up at Duncan later this fall.
Again, I’d be glad to discuss any of these hogs mentioned above.
