History can provide a lot of insight, especially regarding trends in hog types. We were interested to see where the National Swine Registry (NSR) breeds have been and where they are heading, so we dug deep in our records. We came up with the top producing boars, since the foundation of NSR and the hot, new boars hitting the breeding arena now, to share with you the most popular boars to date.
