2022 | SHOWCASE THE INFLUENCE
Welcome to the first edition of this sale, an opportunity to Showcase the Influence alongside our colleagues for a combined offering of bred and open females. The decision to have a sale was the easy decision. Delivering the same quality and opportunity standard we’ve established in the Built the Brand Sale quickly became the challenge and we have worked very hard to meet expectations. In an effort to add a new dimension to this sale and provide a deserving platform for those who’ve put our genetics to work, we invited several fellow breeders to consign. Collectively they took this sale seriously and we are thrilled with the quality of the females they are offering. #HHInfluence was born out of a desire to recognize how our genetics have worked beyond The Hill to influence herds, build programs and achieve goals for fellow breeders. Without a doubt, our greatest satisfaction comes when the influence of our genetics helps others succeed. There have been countless examples and stories of success in 2022 and we sincerely appreciate everyone who placed trust in our program. On behalf of the entire HH Crew, I invite you to join us at The Dock or online on November 10th as we Showcase the Influence and offer an incredible set of females!

GUARANTEE All sows and bred girls cataloged with a due date and service sire will sell bred unless otherwise noted on sale day. Sows and gilts offered as bred on sale day are guaranteed to be carrying a litter. In the event one of these bred females becomes open, buyer and seller will convene to determine fair adjustment using the 60%(sow) / 40% (litter) baseline for determining value. *NOTE* we highly recommend inducing bred females (especially bred gilts) to prevent complications and ensure timely farrowing. Any major farrowing issues will be dealt with on a case- by-case basis with no guarantee as buyer’s farrowing management is out of control of seller. All open gilts were fed at an off-site, slatted finishing building until they were moved back to the main farm prior to the sale. They have been vaccinated and conditioned for breeding in the same manner that we incorporate all of our replacement females at Heimer Hampshires. They are guaranteed to breed and, if desired, we are willing to provide guidance for optimum results. DELIVERY

SUPREME CHAMPION GILT | ‘21 WEST COAST NATIONAL
374-10 SIRE: TOP GUN DAM: 40-7 :: RAISE EM UP X PEACHES • One of the most accomplished show gilts in our program’s history, Tequila was Champion Hampshire Gilt at the American Royal, Champion Hampshire & Supreme Overall at the NJSA Western Regional and Champion Hampshire & Supreme Overall at the West Coast National for Josh Col, CA. • Her first litter sired by Lion Share was our first, double-bred Top Gun mating and we retained Roar, a sire who’s first litters are now on the ground. Our confidence in his future as a sire is grounded in greatness of this sow. • POWERFUL in every sense of the word, visually this one rivals any belted sow on the farm. • Hands Down proved to be a very complimentary sire on the stouter Top Gun daughters and it only made sense to use TRU VALUE , the $65,000 Hands Down son we purchased with Hi Point Genetics from TRU at the ‘22 STC.

• In the Hampshire breed, perhaps more than any other, it’s incredibly difficult to combine maternal performance with desirable traits for show ring appeal. These 394 sows did not have show-winning quality, however, they have and will outpace the majority in the crate and have proven, when mated right, can generate the ultra-competitive kind. • Parachute is a Grand Entrance son we retained, backed by a Range Wars x Homeboy (54-9) female. 54-9 “the Homeboy sow” has and will continue to be a big part of our Hampshire program. Born in 2014, she farrowed her last litter in 2020, sired by Top Gun that produced Ghost Rider, a sire that saw heavy use for our coming crop of Hampshire litters. • 10 born, 10 weaned in her first litter sired by Lion Share, 8 born, 8 weaned in her second litter sired by LS 3-3. • 394-10 (mate) is the mother of the Hoge gilt that was Reserve Champion Hampshire & 5th Overall at ‘22 NJSS & Champion Hampshire Gilt at ‘22 IL State Fair. *Note, 394-10 farrowed 16 in her first litter (weaned 12 on her own), farrowed 10 (weaned 10) in her second litter. Had every intention of offering the trio but unfortunately, we missed her and she isn’t due early enough. • Another one mated to TRU VALUE , the $65,000 Hands Down son we purchased with Hi Point Genetics from TRU at the ‘22 STC.

Mated to ICE , the popular Lion Share son at Hi Point that saw heavy use by Hampshire breeders all over the country and in Lion Share’s absence, is sure to carry the torch.

• Top Gun’s influence on our program and the entire Hampshire breed cannot be overstated. We’re confident his sons and daughters will provide forward progress, for us and many others, they already have. • Farrowing Hampshire gilts is one of the tallest hurdles in this business and if it goes reasonably well, there’s usually clear sailing ahead. Such is the case for this young sow carrying her second litter. • Her mother was a direct daughter of The Game and after the dust settled, was a key contributor amongst the sows we acquired from Fecke. • Mated to ICE , the popular Lion Share son at Hi Point that saw heavy use by Hampshire breeders all over the country. This linebred mating will compound Top Gun with lots of upside potential.
• This impressive sow was bred by Hi Point Genetics and purchased from the Spittler Family after her show career in the summer of 2020. • Her first litter included a $4,500 barrow in the ‘21 Fall Showcase that was 3rd in the Heavy Hamps at ‘22 NWSS. • Currently have a boar on feed and retained all the gilts from her second litter sired by Tripod. • Missed her early but wanted to offer one due in February. There is always overwhelming interest for February purebred gilts that can start in the summer and show all fall, as evidenced by the competitive gilt shows at the American Royal, NAILE and others around the country over the last several weeks. Do not underestimate the value of this litter! • Mated to GHOST RIDER , the Top Gun son we used heavy this time, and is backed by 54-9, the timeless Homeboy sow that has been incredibly influential in our program.

CHAMPION OVERALL BRED & OWNED GILT ‘20 NATIONAL JUNIOR SHOW
324-8 SIRE: RIP • Leading off the Duroc offering with one that is really hard to sell! She was Champion Overall Bred & Owned at the National Junior Show in Des Moines in 2020, the covid summer when both National shows were combined. • She was fun to feed, a natural in the ring and to this day, remains the kind that we’re always trying to build. • As you study this group of reds, you’ll notice two key sows on the bottom side of most. One of those is 48-9, the Feel the Burn sow from our friends at Lettow Showpigs that was the official start of HHMX. She wasn’t a show winner, but she quickly proved to be a piece to build around as evidenced by her heavy presence in this offering. • A daughter of 324-8, sired by Sod Buster also sells in this sale. • 324-6 (littermate) is the mother of Slow Drip and was the leading Duroc sow that sold in the ‘22 BTB Sale for $6,000. • Sells bred to CRY BABY , the red boar at Hi Point that saw very heavy use at HH this fall. We love the way he’s bred and we’re excited about the prospect of compounding RIP. DAM: 310-4 :: STAND TALL X FULL THE BURN (48-9)

FEB ‘21 REG #: 422959007 SERVICE SIRE:
RIP was an impressive baby, in fact too impressive to cut and show as a barrow which is exactly how he ended up in the boar barn. Looking back, it was one of the best decisions we’ve ever made - even Max agrees now! Naturally, Statement Day and his record selling price shined a bright light on RIP daughters but rest assured, that wasn’t and won’t be the only notable achievement. They’re built for the long haul and we’re proud to offer these RIP daughters in this sale.

Direct daughters of 24-6, the Brake Lights sow that has been one of the anchors of HHMX. Several years ago, during dinner while at a Long Range Strategic Planning meeting for NSR, Max broke into his piggy bank and teamed up with Lettow Showpigs to buy a bred gilt from Doug Stewart. Her $10k purchase price was significant at the time, but today, her impact on our program, LSP’s program and the duroc breed as a whole would be really hard to quantify. • Over the course of her career, we’ve been very stingy with daughters of 24-6; electing to put them to work here and build a program. The results have been rewarding and Statement Day was a product of that effort. • Backdraft was the go-to sire in the fall of 2020 and these females were impressive from the start. They’re in the prime of their career and well positioned for success. • 362-9 is bred to CRY BABY , the red boar at Hi Point that saw very heavy use at HH this fall.

Sired by Unchained, the boar at Olsen’s that was a must-use after seeing his mother in the show ring the summer before. • Daughter of a “318”, the Last Drop litter that included the Champion Duroc Barrow, Reserve & 5th Overall Duroc Gilts at Arizona National, a $7,900 gilt at OYE and herd boar Old Fashioned. We kept five gilts from that litter. Note, 318-13 is the grandmother of Statement Day. • Study her picture, watch her video or come see her in person. This one is built just like the sows behind her, the kind we like to have on The Hill no matter what breed or color. • Grandmother is 24-6, the Brake Lights sow that is discussed in detail in the choice Lot 8 (362’s) • She’s bred to SLOW DRIP , the Trickle son we retained out of 324-6 (see Lot 6). His first crop warranted more chances and we firmly believe this mating has as much upside as any in this deep group of reds.
•
*Bred Gilt*
• The 381 litter wasn’t born at an ideal time for pig shows but it played right into our gilt hoarding habit. Rest assured we kept them all and offering this one comes with a fair amount of apprehension. • Another daughter of a “318”, the Last Drop litter that included the Champion Duroc Barrow, Reserve & 5th Overall Duroc Gilts at Arizona National, a $7,900 gilt at OYE and herd boar Old Fashioned. We kept five gilts from that litter and the 381’s are out of the 5th Overall Duroc Gilt at AZ that year (318-11). She was, and still is, the outlier of a very deep litter. • Sired by Train Station, a RIP son that was on the fast track to stardom until he decided to go for a walk one night. In hindsight, we’ve maybe never had one with a more literal name. In his first couple of litters, he sired the Champion Duroc Barrow at ‘21 AZ National, the Reserve Duroc Barrow at ‘22 National Western and was just getting started. • She sells bred to CRY BABY , the red boar at Hi Point that saw very heavy use at HH this fall.

TEARDROP X YELLOWSTONE (RIP’S LITTERMATE SISTER) BRED & OWNED BY: HI POINT GENETICS Last Drop’s influence on the Duroc population is almost overwhelming and undeniable at the same time. He himself worked on our best sows and we’ve relied on his sons and grandsons to make progress. When we heard that Hi Point bred RIP’s impressive sister (Reserve Duroc & 5th Overall Gilt at the ‘19 IL State Fair) to Teardrop, we were immediately intrigued and almost simultaneously committed. Phenotypically, he’s the kind we’ve always been able to appreciate. Genetically, he provided an opportunity to compound two genetic lines we’ve been blending and we can’t wait to see the results. Rest assured, the females in this offering aren’t the only ones carrying his service. Statement Day’s mother and several other key sows were mated to Cry Baby…at this point, we’re all in.
TRICKLE X RIP (324-6) X STAND TALL
The keeper boar pig from the first crop of Trickle’s. His mother (324-6) sold this summer in the BTB Sale for $6,000 and her sister (324- 8) is the leadoff red sow in this offering selling as Lot 6. This boar represents the continuation of our effort to combine the two original sows that started #HHMX - 24-6 Brake Lights sow on the top side and 48-9 Feel the Burn on the bottom. His first crop of pigs are on feed and we’re anxious to see them hit the show ring this winter.

LION SHARE X TOP GUN (374-10)
Often referred to as 308 or the ‘white-legged boar’, ROAR is the result of our first attempt at lining up Top Gun. His mother is the highly decorated show gilt ‘Tequila’ for the Col Family that sells as Lot 1 in this sale. Her first mating to Lion Share was ‘swinging for the fence’ and there’s no doubt, ROAR is everything we expected and everything his picture represents. This is one powerful herdsire and we’re hopeful he can fill the void after losing Lion Share.
HANDS DOWN X TOP GUN BRED BY: TRU GENETICS | OWNED WITH: HI POINT GENETICS
Tru Value was the $65,000 Class-winning boar from TRU Genetics that we purchased with Hi Point Genetics. A son of Hands Down, his dam is a Top Gun daughter that was Champion Hampshire Gilt at ‘21 San Antonio and was TRU’s selection at the farm after purchasing our ‘Pick of the Hampshires’ lot in the ‘21 Exchange. He himself is a great #HHInfluence story and after watching Hands Down work well here - especially on Top Gun daughters - we were anxious to put him to work, and we did.
TOP GUN X HOMEBOY (54-9)
They say timing is everything and in our program, there has never been a better time for one quite like this one. His look upfront, skeletal build and pattern from the side is impeccable - certainly the kind of sire that can generate Hampshire females for the show ring. He’s backed by a sow that was in production here for at least 10 parities, a span that is virtually unheard of for any breed around here and yet she always contributed quality - the same expectation we have for him.

• Maternal sister to 379-12, the matriarch of our Berkshire program of late. • If we could go back, we’d use Two Tone substantially more than we did. His daughters were generators and can be found on the bottom side of many of our recent Berkshire wins. • She sells bred to MAMA TRIED , a Berkshire sire with close ties to our program and even closer ties to this sow. Mama Tried’s mother is a Family Jewels X OTL (379-12) X Two Tone (39-7).
You might remember this one from the ‘22 BTB catalog. Like a couple of others, her price on sale day was far less than the litter she was carrying and she didn’t let us down. • Mother of the 318’s sold as Lot 58 in the ‘21 BTB Sale, a sow that was originally purchased from Derrick Moore as a young gilt to acquire a daughter of 59- 9, one of the Shotgun Wedding sows that Derrick bought in the ‘17 BTB Sale. • She’s a maternal sister to Lot 17 (377-8), the littermate to the Family Jewels gilt we offered up for the Team Purebred Fab 5 Sale at the Fall Classic and her sister that sold in the ‘20 BTB Sale to Boysen & Wolf who became a potent producer for their Berkshire effort • Visually, 318-10 is as impressive as any Berkshire sow on the farm and she generates that way. • She is carrying a litter sired by SECRET STASH at PBG with a prime time due date.

• One of the older Berkshire sows on the farm but one that still brings her A game every time. • Direct daughter of a 59 litter Shotgun sow. The 59’s were a huge part of all things Berkshire around here for a long time. • Produced the Champion Berkshire Barrow at ‘22 National Western and a sister that sold in the ‘22 BTB Sale for $4,750, sired by House of Cards. • Produced a $9,000 boar prospect in the Spring Showcase sired by Line Up. • She sells bred to MAMA TRIED , a mating that will result in a lot of the same.
• Littermate sister to the gilt we offered up for the Team Purebred Fab 5 Sale at the Fall Classic a couple years ago and her sister that sold in the ‘20 BTB Sale to Boysen & Wolf who became a potent producer for their Berkshire effort. • Maternal sister to the 318’s, three of which sold in the ‘22 BTB Sale and Lot 14 in this sale. • Mother of the uber impressive Lot 219 open Berkshire gilt in this sale sired by House of Cards. • Mated to MAMA TRIED , an effort to compound all the good Berkshire blood we’ve had around here. Extended pedigree of this mating will be fun to study.

• There were several key High Country daughters in the Fecke acquisition but few were more impressive than 23-9, the mother of this sow. • We worked through several Renaissance daughters and the three represented in this sale have passed all the tests for performance and generating ability. • We’ve made more blues and white crosses than purebreds with this one, however, she’s bred for Yorkshire success this time with her mating to HOT TAKE 47-3 , the Lance Ryan boar that is now at Drake Hook’s.
• Beast of a sow to leadoff an impressive foursome of Yorkshires. Admittedly we don’t work near hard enough to push and promote the Yorkshires around here. • Struck a Nerve is directly responsible for her skull, arm and shear density - she is stout! • Mother of a Yorkshire barrow at the Exposition this summer that we liked way more than the judge. • We’ve admired the Chad Day Yorkshire program from afar and place a lot of trust in his mating advice. She sells bred to PERFECT DAY 45-4 , a complimentary mating that should be ideal for barrows AND gilts.

• The 333 litter was one of the very best Renaissance litters farrowed here and it was an easy decision to retain the gilts. • Both of these 333’s are high performing sows that haven’t disappointed. • Her summer litter sired by Big Paw was very good and they found great homes. • She sells bred to HOT TAKE 47-3 , the Lance Ryan boar that is now at Drake Hook’s.

Mama Tried is a boar we committed to as soon as he was settled in and available at Southern Superior SIres. His mother was one of our all-time favorites as a baby and a show gilt and his grandmother (379-12) is currently our most influential sow. Mama Tried is quickly building an impressive resume as a sire. He sired the Reserve Berk Barrow at ‘22 IN State Fair, the Reserve Grand Barrow at ‘22 CO State Fair - both for Goss and just sired the Reserve Berk Barrow at the ‘22 American Royal - bred here. We’ve continued to use him with confidence and firmly believe he adds value as the service sire to the sows offered in this sale.

58-8 SIRE: DIRTY SECRET DAM: 164-4 :: DISTINCT X DROPPIN’ SWAG • The belted sister to Goosebumps! Her mother sold in the ‘19 BTB Sale and as we look back, it would sure be fun to have access to Distinct again. His daughters have had a very profound impact on the industry, especially over the last few years and it’s easy to see his influence in this sow. • If we were keeping track of MLI on our crossbred sows, we’re pretty certain she would rise to the top and reign supreme over all the rest. Through 4 litters, she has farrowed 52 live pigs and weaned 46 of those herself. Quantity did not trump quality. • Last summer, she farrowed an incredible litter sired by No Introduction. That was a standout litter in the Fall Showcase, the weekend when we ultimately decided ‘Houdini’ (18-6) needed to stay intact. Three barrows showed at San Antonio - the best one was 2nd behind another HH-bred barrow and the other two were both 6th in their respective classes. • Litter #4 was sired by Trenches and headlined the Spring Showcase. Look at Lot 106 from Rogers Livestock, the most accomplished gilt from this mating also sells! • She is carrying a litter sired by MISCONCEPTION , the popular sire at Purple Power that the Danner crew bought from us at Perfect Timing. Misconception semen was in high demand all season and we used every dose we could get. • Offering 50% ownership, possession negotiable. Buyer can double down for full ownership & possession.

DIRTY SECRET X DISTINCT X HAMP STAMP BRED BY JD SHOWPIGS
GOOSEBUMPS X SECRET WEAPON (234-8) X KMS (240-12)
Very happy to have Gangster back on The Hill. Several of our best and most popular prospects this fall were sired by Gangster and with each crop, we’ve gotten closer to the sweet spot in our approach to using him. We’ve relied on the sow family behind him for a very long time and because of that, we’re confident his daughters will be a big part of our future sow herd. He still has a place and looks more impressive than ever.
We purchased Anthem from JD Showpigs at the ‘21 Lackey Spring Sale. He’s a maternal sib to Trenches and a full sib the Reserve Cross at FTW and the sows that are working at JD’s & Cantrell’s. The full sib sow at Cantrell’s produced the Supreme Champion Commerical Gilt at ‘21 OYE and is the mother of ‘No Other’ at Coulson’s. We’ve learned a lot about Anthem’s tendencies as a sire and as we’ve narrowed our focus, we’re still very optimistic about his future. There are currently lots of Anthem-sired litters in the crates at HH as this catalog goes to print.
NO INTRODUCTION X BLURRED 40-2 X HIGH COUNTRY BRED BY COOPER FLASH
WHO MADE WHO X PROVOKED (23-10) X DIRTY SECRET (96-7)
His mother is one of the sisters (23-10) to Carole that brought $35,000 for half interest in the ‘22 BTB Sale, maternal sisters to this boar, sired by Snooze, brought $26,000 each in the same sale. Mate barrow was 3rd Overall Hamp at the Revival and Reserve Supreme at the Chowchilla Show, both in California. An outlier from the start and sired by a boar that’s off the beaten path are just two of the many reasons we’ve been using this one. One of the neatest litters of pigs we sold this fall was out of this boar and he’s getting more opportunities.
26 2022 | SHOWCASE THE INFLUENCE Purchased at Perfect Timing last fall from the Cooper Flash crew. He was an attractive, shapely boar at PT time that looked like he had boar quality. Review his extended pedigree: No Introduction X Blurred 40-2 X High Country X Blurred Vision X Trigger X Swagger X Super Monster X Spud. That pedigree, void of Dirty Secret but stacked with many of the all time greats was, and still is very attractive. We liked him then..we LOVE HIM NOW! He matured into a beast of a boar. Incredible appetite, amazing conversion and off the charts in all fertility categories. His sister was a $22,000 outlier at OYE and after selling his first crop of pigs, there’s no doubt he’ll get more chances going forward.
KOH X DIRTY SECRET (278-9) X SWAGGER (9-2)
Kingpin wasn’t an accident. In fact, he is the result of one of the first double-bred Dirty Secret matings we made. To this day, we still consider his mother our favorite Dirty Secret daughter, the mate sister to the Grand Overall at Denver in 2018. Over time, he has sired his fair share of highly competitive barrows and a handful of sons are scattered around the country. Those achievements are trumped by his knack for siring females and that reputation seemingly grows stronger with each new crop of pigs. Kingpin daughters have found the backdrop as show gilts at every level but they’ve securely established themselves industry-wide as incredible generators. This year alone, and just in our program, Kingpin daughters have been on the bottom side of many of our best and there isn’t enough space on this page to acknowledge what Kingpin daughters are doing for others. Kingpin won’t last forever and his inconsistent fertility has been a never ending battle. It’s certainly the reason we don’t have a surplus of daughters in the pipeline and it might be the reason the industry isn’t saturated with his influence. However, for a few weeks this fall, he decided to make good semen and we used every drop. We’re sharing a few of those matings in this offering and we hope you recognize the opportunity to farrow a litter for your own program or invest in an open daughter to build around.

• It’s fun when power and performance go hand in hand. This one is as stout featured as any on the farm and she’ll outperform most in the crate. • Sired by In the Rough, a boar from Warner that was a mate to the Supreme Gilt at OYE. • Really good old school stuff on the bottom side. • She’s already worked well to JoJo, Blindside & Crickets. • Her spring litter (29’s) sired by The Disciple was a standout litter (15 born). • She sells bred to KINGPIN , an opportunity that should appeal to anyone who’s serious about making progress.
• In the ’19 BTB Sale, our good buddy Hilty invested in ½ of 28-8 when she sold as Lot 1. She had just produced the Grand Overall Barrow at OYE and we were pumped to have a partner like Will to take her to the next level. She ended up going to Pennsylvania and over the next several years, she rewarded both firms with sellable barrows and lots of keeper gilts to split. • This sow is a mate to the calico Hilty sold in his bred sale this summer and 41-8 that sold in the ‘22 BTB. • Produced the Reserve Heavy Dark Cross Barrow at ‘22 San Antonio sired by Wags. • One of the last daughters of 28-8 (52-8) on the farm is sired by Kingpin and her resume is growing. • A Kingpin daughter out of 41-8 brought $14,000 in the ‘21 BTB Sale. This litter will be full sibs in blood. • We love our BKS sows and we KNOW this mating to KINGPIN will be great!

• This calico Dirty daughter is a full sister in blood to 275-9, one of the high sellers as Lot 9 in last summer’s BTB Sale, selling to Cantrell, OK. • The mother of the 266-10 is a littermate to 22-10 that also sold as Lot 10 in the ‘21 BTB Sale. That pair of 22 litter KMS sows were very impressive individuals and their mother, the 13-34 Full Strut sow also sold in a previous BTB Sale. • Yes, she sold in the ‘22 BTB Sale and the peanut gallery on the deck thought she was a steal so they scooped her up. Naturally, they’re well into the black and hoping to triple their money to invest in another one! • All jokes aside, this is another tremendous opportunity to get a piece of KINGPIN for your own program.
• Goosebumps daughters don’t have the national acclaim like Kingpin’s but around here, they don’t belong in the backseat. • Lots of good old stuff on the bottom side of this pedigree. Chaos was a purebred York that we’d love to use again right now. • Her first litter out of Honcho was very marketable, but she really established herself in litter number two sired by Curly; the 5’s that sold in the Fall Showcase. • We’ve never been able to understand or predict Kingpin’s sporadic fertility. At this point, we’re thankful it was good enough to use again for a minute and we hope you see value in the opportunities in this offering. Sells bred to KINGPIN !

61-4 KINGPIN X DIRTY GOOD (143-10) X ANTE UP (143-12) She sold in the 2021 BTB Sale as Lot 201, the lead off open gilt. We offered 50% interest, no possession or the opportunity to double down and own 100%. Excerpts from her footnotes in the catalog: • We will argue that her upbringing at the slat barn is far more beneficial than any show ring accolades • She defines what ‘next in line’ looks like for an elite, game changing female relative to the path her sisters have paved.
THE REST OF THE STORY: Robbie Phillips Showpigs & Peter Smith bought her and after several days of thinking, talking and discussing, they ultimately elected to double down and purchase 100% of 61-4 for $44,000. They were patient and bred her to Tricked Out for a July litter. After the dust settled, they sold 7 males for a total of $126,000, including a pair for $60,000 & $30,000 respectively at Major League Pig Sale. Even better, they are wisely holding onto the gilts. Congratulations to Robbie & Peter on their success this fall and best wishes as they continue their quest to make 61-4 famous!

His sister (59-15) sold as Lot 101, the lead off bred gilt in the ‘22 BTB Sale and we farrowed three other mate sisters that contributed prospects this fall. • She’s bred to DASH 8 , a mating that could cover all the bases for gilt, barrow AND boar prospects.
• 245-14 is another direct daughter of 154-7, THE Gone Viral sow that sold as Lot 11 in the ‘20 BTB Sale to the Fort Girls, TX. • Much like her maternal sister (132-8 / Lot 30), this sow is wagging a big tail and does not generate sissies. • Shadow was a direct Dirty Secret son, the result of a repeat Dirty Secret x 225-6 (Verbatim x Roxy) mating. His semen quality struggled a bit early and it prevented him from a fast start but we’re very grateful for the handful of daughters we were able to make. • This sow is the mother of 105-12, the open gilt sired by Circle Back that sells as Lot 210 in this sale. • Mated to the very popular ROLL CALL at PBG and due to farrow when it counts.

• You don’t have to look very far to find Never Before on the bottom side of a pedigree. We don’t have very many and this one, mated this way is one we really should be keeping. • The KMS sow on the bottom side is a maternal sister to the Grand Barrow at ‘18 National Western and his sister, the mother of Kingpin. • Her daughter sired by Hidden Treasure sells as Lot 213 (30-11). • We are still very bullish on Anthem as a sire and the crates around here are already very populated with Anthem-sired pigs. We’ve learned a lot about his tendencies and if you painted a picture of the perfect sow for him, she’d look awfully close to 221-12. She sells bred to ANTHEM .
• We bought this one from our good friends at C&C Showpigs when they offered her in the Fall Showcase a couple falls ago. She wasn’t fluffy, but her look, build and maturity looked ideal. • A few months later, she instantly became a little more famous when her sister was the Bronze Commercial Gilt at ‘21 OYE. That gilt sold to Team Sloan and produced the Grand Barrow at ‘22 WI State Fair • We’ve retained daughters from her first litter sired by JoJo and her recent litter sired by For the Good. • We used Disciple across a wide range of sows in the early going and he consistently very good on Kingpin daughters.
