Champion Duroc Gilt, 2012 NSS – Sold in February BCA sale. |
It’s always a great day when you get the opportunity to look at a great set of Duroc prospects, especially when it’s a set from Stewart Duroc Farm. We all know the track record of successful hogs that Doug has sold to junior exhibitors. As you study this set of hogs that Doug and Carl have put together, just keep in mind that these hogs are raised in a real world environment. They are not pampered in a chip barn with one hog per pen – they are raised on slats in large groups. They are rugged hogs that will grow and function in a wide range of environments and be successful in the show ring.

This set of gilts that will be offered on Tuesday provides an opportunity to buy into elite Duroc genetics. Doug has put together a strong set of Bold Ruler, Meatmaker, Honey Badger and Here We Go gilts that has the potential to hang banners later this winter, but more importantly, they are the kind of Duroc females that you can build a sow herd with.

Now Doug has not forgotten all you barrow enthusiasts. If you are serious about feeding a red barrow this year you had better study 25-5. This one is a monster!!!!! I would rather have him than show against him. It is very rare that you have an opportunity to get a barrow like this from Doug. The only reason he is in the sale is because he had a retained testicle, if he didn’t he would have been retained as a boar prospect. TAKE advantage of this opportunity!!!!!
Give me call, I will be glad to discuss any of Stewart Duroc Farm hogs with you!!
