It is always a pleasure to stop through Carl’s and chat and look at good hogs.  This particular stop did not disappoint.  Carl is having an on-line sale with Doug Stewart, and once again both parties are offering tremendous quality.  Look at the track record these two firms have compiled and study your lesson.  These are breeding programs with men that understand how to put a red one together.

I like the gilt offering at Carl’s a bunch.  The 10-9 gilt is pictured below.  She has a littermate, 10-10, that is equally as good and there is a 5 and a 9 litter gilt that you certainly better study.  I am quite confident that there will be some gilts in this set that you will hear from again.

Not a lot of barrows to be offered, but the ones that are have quality.  I like these 4 young barrows a bunch and think that they will be really good feeding hogs.  The little 12 litter Red Draw x Yak II barrow could get really interesting!!!

While I was there, we looked at all the other hogs around also.  I will tell you that if you are looking for a good red boar, you better look in at the 6 and 7 litter hogs that Carl has on feed.  Sired by Integrity and back on a couple of really good Touch of Class females, Oh My.  I am not sure Carl has started a set of young red boars this good in quite some time.  If you are heading to the American Royal, you might want to make this a stop.  Only 40 minutes away, could be real fun!!!!!

Carl bought a Hampshire boar at the Missouri State Fair this past summer from Laudwig farms here in Missouri.  He is an Augusta x Face Lift.  I liked this boar a lot at Sedalia, but goodness – you should see him now.  Incredible bone work and a skeleton and maturity that don’t read like most hampshire hogs.  Guys this one needs sampled a bit. They call him Hamp Bone!!!!
