The NSR office will be closed December 24th through January 1st. Regular office hours will resume Thursday, January 2nd.
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.

Online litters are downloaded daily, so if you record your litters through the NSR website on a given evening, the date shown on your registration papers will be the next day when they were downloaded into our system. For example, if you have a December 1 registration deadline for a show, you will need to record [ … ]
