The Source | A Genetic Opportunity - Vol. II

First and foremost, thank you for taking the time to read through the catalog and ultimately show interest in not only the sale offering but our program. Raising livestock is something this operation and family takes very seriously and we hope that’s noticeable as you flip through the pages.

I tried to get my point across last year at the inaugural sale that the idea of an offering of this magnitude has always been in the back of my mind. Last year I finally felt like we were in a place to make it all work. Fortunately, last year’s sale was a huge success and we will forever be thankful to the bidders and buyers of our first ever live auction. I knew it would be very difficult to assemble a similar set quality and depth wise just one year later, but we have dug deep and been committed to this sale in an attempt to gain the attention of the most serious breeders.

I truly believe all of the lots in the offering could either be a great building block for anyone to start a program or a strong addition to anyone’s current arsenal. These lots have not only produced dollars and champions along the way, but several have generated stud boars or daughters that are making the next generations even better. We have strongly focused on just a few breeds and crosses over the last several years and been fortunate to have success in all of them. We hope this offering brings forth a wide variety of options for our customers and potential buyers.

As stated in last year’s catalog, there’s no doubt these females are shiny in their photos. Rest assured, they’ve been tested in the toughest environments, know how to do their jobs, and have a legitimate chance to carry on those traits to their new homes.

There’s no question the last couple of years have been very rewarding for our operation and the females being offered have played a strong role in that story. There’s never been more excitement within the swine industry than there is at this current moment. You never know what the impact one female or one bold decision can have on your herd. The time is now and the opportunity is here!

Thank you for taking the time to check out The Source.

Many delivery options across the country will be available following the sale. A majority of these routes will be made by Team Sloan and therefore will be free of charge. We will also work with third party trucking companies when needed, buyer will be responsible for this cost.

Lot 1 is as impressive visually as you could ever ask for and brings forth a resume that’s hard to ignore. She’s bred to what I truly believe is still one of the absolute best in the business and there’s no reason she shouldn’t spark the interests of the most aggressive buyer. Bid with total confidence!

It’s never easy to dip into the heart of the herd and find a Lot 1, but it’s always necessary for the success of any sale. 1820X has been a special female from the start and her contributions will never go unnoticed. Her first litter generated big yields, highlighted by the $17,000 prospect we sold at Kings of the Hill in the fall of 2019. From there on, the flood gates were open and it seemed as if every pig she cranked out was a “high seller.” She generated over $200,000 in total sales, and a very long list of winners and boar pigs. More importantly, she’s made daughters that will carry on her tradition, including 2024X, which most recently made our $140,000 boar prospect who sold to Crossroads Genetics at Perfect Timing.

GRAND

The spotted breed has been good to us over the last few years, but this sow, her daughters and their impact on our operation is what makes raising showpigs fun. 1812S’s dam originated from Rash and was one we absolutely had to have after she was Top 5 at Expo and Springfield. Lot 2 has not only generated big-time dollars, including her daughters, who have averaged over $6,000 and are already proving to be generators, but she’s also the mother of Van Wilder at Upperhand Genetics, who is quickly changing the spotted game siring winners at a very fast pace.

Lot 2 is incredibly stout featured, square built and agile off either end of her Skeleton. Her unique combination of bone, build and structural integrity will never go out of style. She’s legitimately a highlight within the spotted breed and this mating should be an absolute home run.

1813C is without question one of the most proven and influential sows within the Chester breed. Not only have her offspring been profitable but they have gone on to feed, win banners, and ultimately work for other Chester enthusiasts and boar studs. Lot 3 was a very successful show gilt but realistically, that was only the beginning. She’s responsible for champions at Expo, Springfield, Louisville, Phoenix, Oklahoma Youth Expo, and many more. Better yet, her daughters are following suit as they yielded the Champion Chester Barrow at all three major shows this summer. We think she’s far from done as her summer litter was highlighted by a $15,000 male pig and a gilt that’s already won several banners.

Simply put, Lot 3 is a unicorn and should never be for sale. Her impact on Team Sloan and the Chester breed will always be remembered. This is not your ordinary Chester sow nor an ordinary opportunity!

LOT 4 1901X

This painted-up sow has done a very consistent job at raising large litters of sell-able pigs that are fault-free and feed well for our customers. Her litter mate brother was one of our favorites in the summer of 2019 and won his division in the open barrow show at the MO State Fair. Her mom was one of our favorites for the time and was actually a litter mate to Money Talks who was at Moyer’s for several seasons.

1901X represents everything we try to assemble in our females in terms of build, maturity and structural integrity. Not only does her skeletal makeup provide mating flexibility, there’s no doubt in my mind Young Love is the perfect match for her new owner.

BRED SOW

It didn’t take long to get an awesome photo of this particular sow. She’s a daughter of Throat Punch the Dirty Deal son we had for a few seasons who was a mate to the Division 3 champion Cross at San Antonio in 2019. Additionally, her mom is the Sharp Dressed Man sow that’s found in several pedigrees at our place. Here’s one of the younger females in the sale that’s already put together a stout resume! She’s made several jackpot winners, but her most notable win was the Reserve Market Hog at the 2022 Dixie National for Jadyn Sanford. As a bonus, Lot 5 usually farrows large litters with ease and milks like a Holstein cow.

Lot 5 is a wide built, broad chested female with good extension off both ends of her skeleton. Dropkick had a great run this past summer and this litter will be bred very similar to the Dixie National barrow. The expectations are high!

BRED SOW

We have dug deep to make sure this isn’t your average bred offering and we think Lot 6 is proof of that. 1838C is not only a National Champion but she’s a litter mate to Custom Made. Correct, this female is the Jackson gilt from the summer of 2019 that was Supreme Champion at Expo and Reserve Supreme Champion at Springfield. The Made to Order mother that Yantis bred is still one I’ll never forget for her outlier pieces and Lot 6 mirrors that same image. She’s been a strong contributor here at Team Sloan and we’re now willing to give someone else the opportunity to own one of the best in the breed.

Visually, this female is crazy stout, broad from every angle and has proportions like elite show hogs should, regardless of breed. Here’s a chance to tap into an incredible animal that comes with an awesome story!

BRED SOW

If Lot 7 doesn’t spark your interest, we may not have what you’re looking for. I absolutely love this sow and what she’s done for us during her career in Cameron. 1817X was a successful show gilt for the Mabry family in Iowa a few years ago and has been a “never miss” type female since. Her litters have been wildly profitable and fortunately, have experienced success on the big stages along the way. Her daughters are quickly becoming some of our absolute best. One in particular generated the Grand Barrow at the Missouri State Fair, the Fifth Overall Barrow at Minnesota Youth Livestock Expo and the Champion Open Barrow at the North Dakota State Fair this summer.

The belted LIU sow is a unique specimen and has all the extras you could ever ask for. Realistically, she should be able to stick around the farm as long as she wants. The ceiling is incredibly high here!

BRED SOW

2035S is a young sow that comes from the heart of our spotted program. Her mom is the famous Polka Dot female who’s arguably as proven as any sow in the breed. She’s responsible for a very long list of winners across the country as well as Big Stack at Premium Blend. Lot 8 is a litter mate to the Champion Spot Barrow at Expo in 2021 as well as a full sib to the Champion Spot and Reserve Overall Gilt at Expo in 2020 who sold to Platt for $15,500. This particular sow raised one of our best spotted gilts this year that was purchased by Wintex.

The Loud Mouth sow is moderately framed, proportional in her build and has a flexible hip and hind leg. We have had several Speak Up sired litters over the last few seasons and think this mating could be a perfect match.

BRED SOW

The Secret Society sow was bred by Cantrell and was our pick of the gilts at the 2019 OYE Night of Stars Gilt Sale. She has been a fun one to have on the team and certainly one we would love to hold onto. She has consistently generated pigs that the most crucial evaluators can admire, fortunately they have found their way to the backdrop, including OYE and Houston. Her summer litter, sired by No Stranger included a $5,000 barrow that found an awesome home in Texas.

1962X has monster feet, giant legs and a front end that is to die for. We weren’t one bit conservative when we mated her and pushed all the chips to the middle of the table. FAAFO on Lot 9 could be a home run!

BRED SOW SALE

MULTI-TIME GRAND CHAMPION GILT MYSPC ‘22

LOT 10 1834X

The Teen Spirit sows always seem to surface to the top of the pack and can be labeled as true generators here at the farm. Not only have they been productive in the crate but their progeny have been well received by the public, both equally as important. Lot 10 produced a $15,000 boar pig at Kings of the Hill a couple of seasons ago and is the mother of “Skippy” the Keithley barrow that was Reserve Overall Barrow at the 2020 MO State Fair. Additionally, one of her daughters just generated the 4th Overall Cross Gilt at the 2022 NAILE for Emma Sims and Miller Show Stock.

1834X has a massive blade, back, and hip yet brings forth a wild look up front. Dash 8 is on a hot streak to say the least and I truly believe he’s just getting started. This could be her best yet!

BRED SOW

FOURTH OVERALL CROSS GILT NAILE ‘22 GRANDDAUGHTER OF LOT 10

RESERVE GRAND BARROW MOSF ‘20

This belted sow along with her two mates have been building blocks for us over the last few years, yet she’s still been my personal favorite of the trio. There’s no doubt the Dirty Secret daughters have made a positive impact on some of the industry’s top programs and if you have been around them, it’s apparent why. They are productive, know how to be mothers, and their offspring win at the highest level! 1831X is the mother of “Boss” the Copenhaver barrow that showed in the summer of 2020 and still is one of my all time favorites. She’s also the mother of our $10,000 Chosen Ones gilt that went on to get a piece of her division at the IN State Fair for the Jackson Family. Lot 11’s daughters are beginning to hit their stride so we feel comfortable offering her.

The Dirty Secret sow is square built, stout headed and has an awesome set of feet and legs. Regardless of your goals, she could be a valuable asset to any operation.

BRED SOW

The blue sow’s pedigree and striking image from the side should be hard to ignore. Her mother is the Automatic sow that was a monster piece of the puzzle for us for several seasons and sold as Lot 2 in The Source a year ago. This sow’s litter mate barrow was Reserve Lightweight at the American Royal a few falls ago for Brylee Williams. Lot 12’s last litter yielded big time dollars and we retained a gilt we look forward to breeding.

1955X is beautifully headed, long necked and has very large feet. Being bred to Make It Happen with an early January due date should provide a quick return on investment for her new owner.

1824X originated from Ottenwalter and was one we felt we had to have when she sold at the American Royal a few years ago. She didn’t waste any time in becoming a key sow here at the farm. Her litters have been popular and ultimately paid a lot of bills, but more importantly, they have found success for multiple families. Her most notable daughter Jazzy is becoming one of our very best young sows and generated an $80,000 litter this fall that was highlighted by our $45,000 lead off, at The Established purchased by Premium Blend.

This painted up sow still looks like an incredible show gilt. She’s unreal in terms of her look and balance with perfect feet and legs. She’s bred to one of the very best out there in hopes of creating something special.

BRED SOW

CHAMPION 4H CROSS GILT MOSF ‘20

DAUGHTER OF LOT 13

FOURTH OVERALL BARROW MOSF ‘21 SON OF LOT 13

TRUTH HURTS GRANDSON OF LOT 13

CHAMPION DARK CROSS GILT OHIO POINTS ‘20 DAUGHTER OF LOT 13

LOT 14

Up next is one of my personal favorites of the offering and a sow that’s made a large impact on our herd over the past few years. She’s responsible for Make It Happen, the Next Intention son at Premium Blend Genetics, who seems to be gaining momentum with time. Additionally, her large selection of daughters are quickly becoming reliable sources for genetic progression. Juggernaut daughters have played a large role in the success of our operation over the last several years

Lot 14 represents everything we like to see in our sows. Here’s one that’s wild looking yet stout headed. She’s wide built yet square, proportional, and mobile. As a bonus, she’s bred to one of the most impressive boars in the country.

King Of The Hill X Juggernaut

This King of the Hill daughter is a uniquely built one that offers stoutness yet extension and is backed by one of our very best sow lines. Not only is she a litter mate to Chief the $50,000 boar we sold Premium Blend Genetics a few seasons ago, but her mom was Lot 1 in The Source a year ago. In the past her pigs have been bloomy, easy to market, and fun to sell. There’s no doubt King of the Hill daughters have been some of the very best in the country and this one here is in her prime.

2002X has a stout mug with a long neck and knows how to utilize her hind leg with athleticism. She’s bred to the Genter/Perry boar that’s created quite a stir in hopes of creating big time results.

1755X is one of the older sows in the offering but has stood the test of time and checked all the boxes. Tuxedo was a Sharp Dressed Man son that we sold to Showtime Sires a few years ago that darn sure did a solid job. The mother of Lot 16 is the Automatic sow, which was offered as Lot 2 in The Source a year ago and can be found in the pedigree of many sows at Team Sloan. This female still breeds, milks, and generates like they need to in order to stick around here. Matter of fact, she produced a $6,500 male pig at The Established this fall that found an awesome home.

Lot 16 is stout headed, functional in her skeleton, and looks like she’s got a pile of pigs in her. The service sire here is off to a great start and has been utilized by some of the very best in the business.

BRED SOW

Lot 17 was purchased from Platt and originated from the highly successful Knauth program. If that doesn’t grab your attention, her ability to generate dollars and produce competitive show pigs along the way should. Her most notable win was the Grand Barrow at the 2021 Missouri State Fair for Connor Keithley. He was one we will always admire for his wide, flexible, skeleton and striking appearance. 1840X seriously only gets better with age and looks like she could win a pig show today.

The Rule 21 sow is way shaggy haired, proportional in her build, and good on her pasterns. When mated to stouter boars in the past, it’s been incredibly successful and that’s exactly what Dare To Compare is!

BRED SOW

Lot 18 was a successful show gilt for Renee Conklin here in Missouri, grabbing several banners and ending her career as Champion Chester in the Open Show at the MO State Fair. She comes from a very deep litter that included Fifth Overall Chester Gilt at Springfield and the Reserve Chester and Tenth Overall Gilt at the OH State Fair. Her mom is a younger sow that was a very successful show gilt herself, she raised the Reserve Grand Prospect at the Indiana Stock show last fall for the Hendrickson family. The best part of this female is the fact that her grandmother is Lot 3 in this auction… the famous Jack In The Box sow.

BRED GILT

Here’s a bred gilt with an incredible story and sow line that’s been like no other within the breed. 2176S comes from an awesome litter including the Champion Spot Gilt at San Antonio and Houston as well as the Reserve Spot Gilt at Breeders Cup. Polka Dot is the mother here and one we could talk about for days due to her impact on our herd and the success she has created in a short period of time. The fact that she’s bred to the $50,000 Zimmerman boar is just icing on the cake here.

The Speak Up daughter is massive from every angle and offers the right kind of balance to not only make competitive show pigs but breeding stock to build around moving forward.

BRED GILT POLKA

Lot 20 and 21 are a pair of litter mate bred gilts that stem from one of our very best sows on the farm. We kept 5 of these litter mate sisters last fall, so we’re willing to turn loose of this pair with hopes of adding depth to the auction. These gilts’ litter mate brothers were popular at live sales last fall to say the least, selling for $45,000 and $80,000. The King Size mother of these has been as profitable as nearly any sow we have ever owned, generating over $250,000 in her first 3 litters. Time will tell, but it appears that her daughters are going to be key components in our program moving forward.

Lot 20 is simply my kind, she’s impeccable in her build, structure, and look. Shame On Me could provide the extras here necessary to win on the big stage!

Time will tell, but it appears that her daughters are going to be key components in our program moving forward.

Lot 21 has the advantage within the pair when discussing rib and spread up high. We have continued to use Young Love in our program due to his ability to inject stoutness. This mating should click.

BRED GILT

JACKPOT WINNER SUMMER ‘21 MATERNAL BROTHER TO

The belted No Introduction daughter is a fun one to admire for her overwhelming mass and brings along a proven pedigree with her. The sow line here has been as consistent as they come and includes Lot 14 from last year’s sale, the Juggernaut sow that yielded the Reserve Cross Barrow at the 2021 Wisconsin State Fair. TRU Genetics bought a boar pig from Top Shelf this spring from this same sow line that’s currently getting lots of attention. Litter mates to him were sale makers at Tulsa as well as the Champion Cross Gilt at Duncan. 2182X had a litter mate sister that was shown last winter by Kade Jackson and ended up second in a very competitive class at Breeders’ Cup.

Lot 22 is massive in her rib, big in her chest, and fleshes with ease. She’s still got the structural integrity to produce the kind that feed and last in the toughest conditions. Soul won 3 State Fair barrow shows this year and he may be just getting started!

BRED GILT

LOT 23

61-5 comes from one of the better litters of barrows we have ever provided here at the farm. Her litter mate brothers were Grand at the at the MO State Fair, Fifth Overall at the MN Youth Expo, and Grand at the ND State Fair Open Show. The mother here is a litter mate sister to the Reserve Heavy Dark Cross at San Antonio in 2021 and the grandmother is Raven which is Lot 7 in this auction.

End Game X Never Before

Lot 23 is not out there in any area but she’s fault free and has a very rectangular build. She’s round ribbed, has an awesome hind leg, and comes from an incredible litter. The possibilities are endless.

LOT 24

91-5 is a Backdrop daughter out of Lot 11 in this auction. Her mom and her mates have served viable options for genetic growth over the last few seasons here at the farm. There’s absolutely no doubt Backdrop has been one of the very best over the last few seasons and this gilt represents what he’s done well.

Backdrop X Dirty Secret

Lot 24 is short backed, muscular, and offers a neat look ahead of her blade. She has a dense hair coat and dark skin pigment while being square toed and upright on her pasterns.

OFFERING ONE-THIRD SEMEN INTEREST

What better way to spruce up the sale offering than a boar prospect out of Cinderella. It took $95,000 to own the undeniable Champion Cross Gilt at the 2021 Expo and we couldn’t have found a better partner to do it with. Cinderella has been far from normal. She’s not only been productive, but her offspring have been highly sought after and made it to the backdrop as well. Her first 15 pigs offered have grossed $245,000 and 152-2 is left in the chamber. It took twisting William’s arm

152-2 is wildly stout, dense, and has hair hanging off of every body part. He’s short backed, crazy necked, and is accompanied with a hip and hind leg that has no quit.

At triple the hammer price, the buyer becomes the sole owner of the pig, barrow or boar!
