For our lot in TPPA’s Certified Texas Best Sale, we are offering a guaranteed spot to have a top 5 pick in this year’s lottery. The winner of this lot will draw at the beginning of the lottery to see where they fall in the Top 5. The purchase price of this lot will be the final cost of your spot in the Top 5. No additional costs will be required. From then on, we will continue to draw the rest of the picks for the remainder of the lottery!

IDK GENETICS

Pick of gilts out of the first June group

We want to start by saying thank you to the TPPA for working hard to give us and our fellow breeders another platform to market our livestock, and more importantly always inventing ways to support and give opportunities to the youth of Texas!

We did not take this consignment lightly, and honestly the only way I like to offer gilts of this quality is through a setting like this, usually because an event such as this calls for something you aren’t necessarily comfortable seeing leave the farm. This lot gives the buyer the chance to come in and select their choice out of all the gilts born in this first of June Group. The set of females in this set stem from the heart of the sow families we are building around here in Amarillo. I would say there is a healthy balance between proven sows and promising gilts that make up this group of sows.

Look through the breeding list in this lot, they are here and on the ground and I can honestly say I have a tremendous amount of faith in these and it will be hard to let any one of them go.

*All females farrowed the first 3 days of June.*

LOT 8

Choice of 78-6 and 78-8 or double the hammer for both

78-8

78-6 service sire Big Sky

Burner Phone x Facedown

Due July 14th

78-8 service sire Squeeze Box

Burner Phone x Facedown

Due July 15th

This pair of 78s are out of deep litter from last fall. We kept all the gilts out of this litter if that tells you anything. The 78-6 and 78-8 due dates just happen to fit perfect with the timing of this sale. The 78s are out of one of our key Chester sows. The Facedown sow would be a littermate to the Champion Chester Barrow at San Antonio in 2019. She has raised numerous sale making barrows over the years but more importantly she has raised several replacements gilts for us. One of those being the mother to the 3rd overall Chester gilt at the Texas’ Elite Showcase in 2022, Class winner at San Antonio in 2023, along with numerous sale makers. 78-6 is bred to Big Sky which is a Big Screen son we kept out of our fall crop. He is out of one our very best young sows. She herself would have been 3rd overall Chester at San Angelo gilt show in 2022. We have already had a few litters out of him and they have us really excited. 78-8 is bred to Squeeze Box, a Perfect Fit son we kept a couple of springs ago. He has really clicked with our stuff making this a very predictable litter. Take your pick or double down for both and look real smart come September but it wouldn’t hurt our feelings farrowing the other here.
