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.
