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.
