The NSR office will be closed December 24th through January 1st. Regular office hours will resume Thursday, January 2nd.
This year the Foundation Female comes from a herd that needs no introduction to the Hampshire breed. Early in the spring Jesse Heimer of Heimer Hampshires was approached about donating a gilt to be offered as the Foundation Female. Jesse without hesitation agreed to provide this gilt, however he wanted to put a spin on things. This year the NJSA will be offering a bred gilt from the heart of the Heimer Hamshire herd.
Now during this entire process, Jesse had one stipulation that we make this about the NJSA and the kids, but I would be remiss if I didn’t say a thing or two about Jesse. Jesse was one of the instrumental individuals in developing the NJSA program. He served on the original steering committee that truly shaped the NJSA into what it is today. Jesse has continued to support youth development by sharing his time and knowledge.
