I am in California this weekend working Ottenwalter Showpigs sale. My number is listed in wrong on Mark’s web site. 765-427-3733.
The NSR Southwest Type Conference exhibitor list is now posted on the NSR website. The list includes all exhibitors and the number and breeds of pigs they will be exhibiting.
See you in Belton!
It seems like the spring sale season is off to a crazy start. It has been wild so far and we are only a week into a long season. I wish you all the best of luck finding your next potential champions. This week’s travels started in Iowa with a snowy Monday spent on the phone and preparing for a meeting in Colorado with a group from the Colorado State Fair. The meeting was very positive and I should be able to tell you all more in about a month.
After a day in airports and meetings I made my way to Illinois for a stop at Bobell Farms. Ben has a Hill Billy Bone son headed to Southwest Type Conference that is simply outstanding. This guy is HEAVY structured, big footed, and sound. He has an ideal set to his hip and hock and can really flex and go. He [ … ]
Bloodline 8-3
I really enjoyed my visit with the Mauro family in Pueblo, Colorado on the way home from the National Western. Nick, Kyle and Zach showed me a great set of hogs that they have assembled. I think they are bringing a really nice set of hogs to Belton for the Southwest Type Conference in March.
Bloodline 8-3 is a young herd boar that they have raised that is going to do great things for them. He is a Big Mac on a Spark Plug x Dakota female. His best littermate sister will be in Belton!!!!!!!!!!!
This hog has incredible bone and squareness and is really sound with lots of muscle and power. I think you are going to here lots of good things out of this guy.
Be sure and inquire about the excellent set of York and Duroc hogs these guys are bringing to Belton. I don’t think you will [ … ]
The NSR Field Representative log hundreds of hours of windshield time ever year. This gives me a lot of time to think about topics that we need to talk about, but do not necessarily have time to discuss at shows or events. As we approach spring sale season we all need to make sure that we know and understand the breed eligibility requirements to show at an NSR/NJSA event.
One of the toughest parts of my job is trying to explain to an exhibitor why they can not show there hog due to an breed eligibility problem. Breeders, we can fix this problem, double check all the gilts that you will be selling to junior members for underlines, extra dew claws, and make sure that hamp gilts have a complete belt and they do not have to much white on there noise. Do your best to make this a positive [ … ]
Sired by Meatpacker
I had a great week of looking at hogs in the western corn belt. I stop by Penner Genetics, John has a great set of York’s started that is sired by his herd boar call Vision (Buffalo son) the 140 and 144 litters looked really good. The 141 and 147 Hampshire litter looked very promising. Both litters were sired by Augusta. Give John or Kyle a call for more information.
I also stopped by A Cut Above Sires and Hirschfeld Livestock while in Nebraska. If your serious about making Hampshire’s better you need to consider using Hats Off (Sterling silver x Witness). He is a heavy structured big footed, wide constructed hamp boar that is sound. Big Star and Benchmark 2 looked great as well. The December born pigs in the nursery looked like they were of to a great start. The 86 litter sired by Trump This looked awesome and [ … ]
