Beautiful fall weather and a great livestock atmosphere highlighted much of the day in Kansas City at the American Royal. It has been quite some time since I have had the chance to be in Kansas City for the Royal and I must say, it was a blast!!!!!!

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.

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.

Had the opportunity to work the Wintex pig sale last evening. What an incredible set of pigs and environment. Spent the day going through little pigs that were offered in the sale and had the opportunity to run out and look at the Thompson Yorkshire boar from Summer Type and Gray hog from Indiana. What a impressive pair of hogs that are sure to complement an already impressive set of boars that have been assembled. Be sure to call if you have any questions.
Back to the little pigs. A super set of Outta Hand babies highlighted this offering. To say that many were highly anticipating this group would be a huge understatement. The pigs represent daddy and everything I thought they would be. They and an impressive set of purebred classifying hogs and a good set of pure York barrows averaged just shy of $1340 bucks. Highlighted by a [ … ]

Started the purebred gilt show this afternoon with Kade Hummel as our judge. A nice set of gilts to highlight day one and must say Kade is doing an excellent job of sorting a sale order and evaluating the hogs. Cooler weather and increased purebred numbers have highlighted the TSF.
I want to list the sale gilts of each breed below and will try to do the same tomorrow as we work thru the respective breeds and crossbreeds.
