Thank You John and Kyle for taking the time for me to stop by. The hogs looked great. Below are some photos Kyle took.
New Hampshire Boar called First Aid. He is a Homegrown x Heatwave. This guy is wide chested, soft made, and heavy muscled. It is a shame he injured himself and John was not able to exhibit him at the 2010 World Pork Expo. If you are interested in using him contact John or Kyle.
This 7th parity sows looks like Hampshire females should. She is a Topshot x Flashback and the material grandam of First Aid (the boar pictured above). She is one of the best Hampshire sows I have seen.
These photos are from my most recent visit to RW Genetics. Rick and his crew have a great set of pigs they are getting ready to offers for sale, the Triple Bar 7’s, Bottom’s Up, 8-Ball’s and Epic’s looked great. Thanks guy’s for taking the time to show me around.
This guy looked great! He is a Full Shift and out of the same dam as Problem Solver. It is hard to make a boar with a better hip and rear leg. Study how square he is underneath.141-7 is an April 17, he is sire by Rick’s new herd boar Logic and is out of a Turn it Up sow. I think this guy has a bright future a head of him! You couldn’t put a better skeleton in a young hog. This guy floats around the pen. His hip and rear wheels are great.The 77-2 crossbred gilt is truly something [ … ]
