When Jesse called with the invitation to offer a special female on this sale 40-4 was the one I knew we needed to share. After Swagger had passed Max took me up the stairs of the guest house to show me the Schlipf Design carving recreation of their iconic herdsire. As I read Jesse’s dedication I told Max the way his father believed in that boar and saw the good in him was special. Max replied, “Kirk, Swagger was special and had some unique qualities but he wasn’t perfect. What I think is so neat is that God put Swagger and Hillbilly on the earth at the same time. They complimented each other and made pigs better, that is what I think was special.” Max’s words define 40-4. She is a coming third parity daughter of JoJo, the Never Before son on a granddaughter of Hillbilly Bone. Her dam is 51-9, a sow purchased by Wyoming State University & Curtis Doubet for $10,000. Her dam the 66-10 Genesis 22 (Isaac x 5-1 Hilton aka Red Opt) x 7-3 Let r Eat, brother to arguably one of the best, the 108-4 Hillbilly Bone x 43-4 Super Beast sow. The grandma of Red Opt is a full sister. 66-10 is the best littermate to the 4K female sire Rothschild, and was a $8500 dollar purchase by Aces High Showpig’s. Bred to Day Drinking the impressive My Intentions son at Winner Circle has seen much use here at 4K Farms this fall. His mother, a Kingpin daughter, helped drive that decision. She was the Justin Day purchase of the trio of sisters that sold for 55k at OYE. Bred on 9/8/22. Note from HH “So many things to say in this space about our good friend Kirk, his approach to breeding livestock and the value of his genetics. He has remained steadfast in his beliefs about the kind that function, the kind that perform and the kind that generate - all of which have served him well. The well in Red Oak is far from dry and we’re excited that he chose to share a JoJo daughter in this sale. JoJo was certainly more Kirk’s speed than many of the boars we use around here and this female truly represents their program and will contribute positively wherever she goes.”
Offering Prime Cut’s mother (17-2) bred to the Purebred Hampshire boar, Viper, took a lot of thought and discussion here at Hi Point. 17-2 is a daughter of The Boss (sired by $45,000 Lil Bro son purchased from HH) and out of our foundation 42–1 Cowboy sow. Carrying her 4th parity, this sow is in the prime of her career. We decided to offer her to bring attention to a decision that we made this fall here at Hi Point; a commitment to breed our 10 best crossbred sows to Viper, and that’s exactly what we did. Viper is a littermate to Ice, a pair of boars sired by Lion Share (HH), the same sire as our Champion Hampshire & Reserve Overall Gilt at NJSS this summer. A lot of people have doubts that this will work, and that’s ok, but chances are, most of those people with doubts have not laid eyes on Viper every day of his life. We have. Note from HH “The crew at Hi Point is rejuvenated and after a strong summer and fall, we’re thrilled they agreed to consign a sow that exemplifies their commitment to progress. For years, Hampshires have played an integral role in the success at Hi Point and once again, Brent and crew are determined to prove that Hampshires matter.”
