Boars

Snow Plow x Husky
Yorkshire
Stress Status: Negative
Semen $100/Dose
Owned With: Fecke Livestock and Tracy Lorenzen

 

When Tracy Lorezen approached me at Duncan and said he had a boar I needed to take a look at I new it was time to pay attention. The last time he made a comment like that to me was the day we purchase California Connection. Connection’s legacy is still alive in our herd today. After seeing Tracy’s entry I new he was coming to California. Donkey is one of those you don’t find every day boars. He combines a unique ability to push the limits in terms of width and dimension of skeleton yet stays true and square to the ground. Normally complete or fault free livestock don’t have enough wow factors to move a program forward. Donkey challenges that statement and we can make a real case with his combination of Power, Style and Flexibility he will produce champions.

Mega Watt x Unforgettable

Duroc

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $50/dose

Bred By: Mark Hurd

Owned With: Weaver Farms and Ben Terry

 

If you're looking to get a red sow covered this guy should be considered.  He is a big, stout thick-made hog that is extra good on his rear leg.  His ideal rear leg combined with look and shape gives him a great opportunity to generate those high-placing, high-demand Duroc barrows.  I’m not normally very enthusiastic about red pigs, but this guy has me pretty excited about the future of Durocs at Small Town.

Wow x Double Zero

Yorkshire

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $50/Dose

Bred and Owned By: Ottenwalter Farms

 

Thanks to Mark and Russell for sending this great breeding piece to Denair. He was Ottenwalter's entry to Belton but came up lame prior to the show.  I guess you could say Belton’s loss is our gain. He is a great breeding piece in terms of stoutness of bone, length of hip and correctness through the center section of his skeleton. His mommy was the Supreme Champion gilt at the 2011 NJSA Western Regional and his daddy needs very little introduction.  I feel Russell has the ability to make the next generation of Yorkshire better and competitive in the show ring.

Trump This x Paparazzi’s Littermate
Stress Status: pending
Semen: $100/Dose

 

Impressive pedigree and an impressive boar. We made this mating specifically to generate an Impressive Boar. Well, here he is. That one-of-a-kind herd boar, we accomplished our goal. Bare Knuckles was the standout in his litter from day 1. He is moderate framed, giant ribbed and has great shape down his top. But he will impress you the most from behind. Not only is his rear leg ideal in terms of angle and set, but he is flexible and coordinated on the move. This guy is ideal for all those crossbred gilts that need to be protected on their rear leg and he won’t sacrifice width, square ness and power. Bare Knuckles has the same eye catching traits as his banner hanging uncle, Paparazzi. And we all know the legacy he left in the show ring. Use Bare Knuckles, I promise you won’t be disappointed.

HR(Spirit x Troubleshooter) x Super 7 (Full sib to Big Shot's Dam)

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $100/dose

Bred By: Lane Farm

Owned With: Desert Showpigs & Kuecker Seedstocks

 

There’s only one thing we can say about this boar – “Thank you, Kade Hummel”. Kade made it very clear that if we were serious about a crossbred boar, we needed to make the trip to Indiana! He was right. At first sight, we knew Gold Standard was coming to California. We all know the track record of Lane farms and this one could top the chart. Extremely heavy boned, extremely big hipped, extremely correct on his feet and legs and all-around extremely good. It took $20,000 to own him but it was worth every penny. Thank you John for selling a boar that we feel will be the foundation of our herd for years to come.

Gold Standard x Superman ($10,000 WPX Gilt)

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $50/dose

Bred and Owned By: Small Town Genetics, LLC

 

This is the first boar we have kept out of the $10,000 foundation sow we bought at Expo. She produced not only the popular Lefeldt gilt that did a bunch of winning, but also we have retained multiple females within our herd. 35-3 possesses all the attributes that his mother consistently generates  He is a tall-fronted, sure-footed boar that is very correct in his angles. He is ideal in his muscle design and has a good show pig look. I believe he will be perfect for making replacement females and competitive show hogs. Sorry for the mature picture but he never got photoed at a proper age.

Gold Standard x Toxic x $10,000 Oklahoma City Gilt at Ottenwalters

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $125/dose

Bred By: Small Town Genetics, LLC

 

This 88 litter of pigs had me amped up from the get go.  From the moment they were born, they had that special look and kept it all the way through.  The litter produced three herd boars 2 housed at Small Town Genetics, LLC and 1 standing at Cory Nelsons in Nebraska. (Thanks to Cory and the Feckie family for you $5,000 on-farm purchase)  The litter also produced the Champion FFA Hampshire at the 2011 Stanislaus county fair and the Supreme Champion Barrow at the 2011 California State Fair Open Show.  88-7 has always been the stoutest-boned, thickest-skulled boar in the litter.  He has a great show ring look and is dead square from top to bottom.  I think he will be lights out on bigger bodied sows that need to be squared up and have a shot of muscle put in them.

$49,000 High Selling Boar at 2012 Southwest Type Conference

 

Exhibiting at competitive livestock shows is our passion, but the conversations that take place regarding how good the champion was or how tough the show was on the top end is where we learn from one another.  As breeders we all know there is that fine line between good hogs and great ones.  We feel Neon Lights is that great one and we aren’t alone.

 

We are very excited to stud this genetic monster.  His bone, foot size, and squareness at the ground is second to none.  Add to that his extreme muscle volume and structural correctness, along with his showring look and he is the closet boar to a sire game changer that we have found.  Neon also has two littermates that held their own at major shows.  Natalie Hofshultes 6th over all commercial gilt at OYE brings $5,000 in the Night of 100 Stars sale and another mate wins the 1,000 head Sunglow Classic in Georgia.  When you combine his physical traits with 2 proven littermates receiving top honors at major show he can only be a recipe for success. 

 

Why Neon Lights?  I guess the best way to describe the name would be like seeing the Las Vegas strip for the first time.  It’s hard not to be overwhelmed and mesmerized by the Neon Lights.

Hot Shot x Major Feat (a big-time generator)

Stress Status: Negative

Semen: $50/dose

Bred By: Bobell Farms

Owned With: Desert Showpigs

$20,000 on-farm purchase

 

Without a doubt, Relentless is the biggest bodied, boldest ribbed boar in the stud. Bobell's pigs have been leaving their mark on the show industry and this guy is no different.  All the middle and power you could ask for without sacrificing design and structural integrity.  We were relentless in our search for better genetics this spring and here they are.

What a great day it was when Russell called me and said they would like to send this tremendous breeding piece to Denair.  I have been scouting Ottenwalters Indiana entries since they were pups and loved this guy from the start.  At 50 pounds he had width of skeleton, mass of muscle, and a cocky attitude.  Now, at 300 pounds he is a beast that is level designed, balanced and super big boned.  This unique combination made him the standout boar of the set.  If you are looking for a boar that will complete your Unfinished Business pick up the phone and give us a call.  Your next champion is only a semen box away!
