After many miles and herd visits, the NSR Field Staff has assembled the NSR portion of this year’s NBS Hog College Row. Below are the NSR boar and gilt representatives that will be showcased in Austin next week.

As a reminder, each of these individuals will be driven in the 2nd annual Hog College Home Run Drive competition on Monday evening. Judging teams will have the opportunity to submit their vote for champion boar and gilt. Winning teams in the junior and senior college divisions will recieve awards.

For more information on this year’s Hog College entries, feel free to contact the NSR field staff and the breeders behind these individuals.

Note: One of the two Duroc Boars pictured below will be designated for Hog College Duroc Boar. The other will be entered in the Duroc Boar show in Austin.
