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.
