CKL Louie x CKL Duggie

We appreciate Brown Spot Farm for selecting our first Louie daughter for $2,000 at Austin. We believe this one is a changer and was hard for us to let her go. This one found a great home and we look forward to seeing what she can do within the Brown herd.

BIG NEWS

Introducing Major Move

SEMEN AVAILABLE AND A SELECT SET OF BRED GILTS MAY BE OFFERED

Major Move — RKK7 HILL Hit The Rd Jack 86-1 x AG6 Salary Cap x Ante Up 86-1 x Direct Hit We received several phone calls during the 2019 Missouri State Fair, letting us know that a Chester White boar was being shown who needed to be considered for the Schminke Genetics’ program. After a few short conversations to inquire a little more about his phenotype and genetics, we said, “Let’s get him bought!”

We call him Major Move and he was bred in the herd of Black Gold Genetics. This Missouri champion is certainly our kind of boar. Stout, tremendous rib shape, muscular, big chest, extra sound and he has a true herd boar look.

His semen quality is excellent and everything about Major Move since his arrival at the farm is ideal.

With an impressive set of boars already owned by us, we feel truly honored that Major Move is our perfect step to a great 2020. Stay tuned.

Thanks to the McCrorys for the opportunity to land this one at Schminke Genetics.

Show pigs and breeder-quality boars and gilts always available!

THANKS OLD and NEW Here at Team Loos, we truly appreciate all the kind words and positive sentiments we received from a very successful 2019 National Barrow Show®. In the past few years, I have had folks from outside the Spot business tell me, “If I could find a Spot that looks like that I would own one.” That is exactly what happened in Austin—we put new people in the Spot business. We will continue to prove our hogs are structurally correct and performance based followed by a beauty pageant view a strong last.

Linebreeding old genetics to find new, satisfied friends . . . that is what we will continue to do.

Thanks to Jim and Monica Reinfeld from North Dakota for adding this son of The Rookie out of a LOOS Queen Bee daughter.

LOOS Sarge

Thanks to Greg Harder from Nebraska who has been talking to me all year about getting into the Spot business and when came to Austin, he simply said, “She is the one!” I agree, sired by LOOS Harvest Moon, she is the one and we look forward to what this breed-building female will produce.

Semen is available $100/dose

CPS Viewpoint

The world is changing Byline: Jack Wall

CPS Chief Executive Officer

Turning on the television, radio, or turning pages of the newspaper keep us informed of the world’s happenings. So do social media sites and coffee shop discussions in nearly every town and city in rural America.

How we adapt to this changing world will most likely determine our short-term success or failure. Do we select a politician and agree with every issue he or she brings forward? Do we believe every weather forecast that our favorite weather person or meteorologist tells us? Do we believe every word we see posted on the Internet or social media? Does every product advertised on television work as described?

The business of livestock breeding, and in our case swine

It really is pretty simple to do the right things . . . every time. breeding, is also deeply into change. Some may not like some of the changes, trends, or results from these developments but the sun comes up the next day.

Who would have ever thought that Pseudorabies, PRRS, PED, African Swine Fever, or Foot and Mouth, would take on the devastation it has. Unfortunately, these challenges have forced too many people out of the business. We applaud all of you who have been able to stay the course.

Changes have also mandated that breed associations have confronted. From nine office buildings and nine breed executives, now down to three. From single breed type conferences to holding them all together and pedigrees typed on memory typewriters to computers smaller than a shoebox capable of producing genetic records that have years and decades of ancestry attached to them. It’s frightening what the next decade will bring.

I had the pleasure (and I mean that) to attend numerous state fairs in the Midwest. Judges from across the country were used to evaluate these hogs and one I highly respect made a couple of comments to me that I challenged real quickly. He talked about “minor breeds” (I think I knew

12

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2019

whom he was addressing) and after he completed his thoughts, I quickly told him if we are talking about numbers, the 2019 Summer Type Conferences, held at two locations, saw more hogs exhibited at Springfield than the other location. For the hard-working men, women, and children who have and continue to labor with purebred swine, they do not need to be insulted with these comments or thoughts. Being old school, I have grown up with the purebred pride mentality. That has not changed for 50+ years but the strengths and weaknesses of all breeds certainly have taken on changes.

Sire evaluation tests, progeny tests, test stations, and carcass competitions have all taught us in unbiased form what truly are the genetics and the highest degree of predictability in profit traits. Do we get paid fairly in today’s market system for these elite genetics? Definitely not, but progressive breeders still saw the need to make herd advancement.

Show ring competition still remains vibrant and entertainment worthy. Who would have thought that we would be selling pigs on the Internet, with flashy photos at 60-80 lbs. for unheard of prices? Who would have thought there would be 30+ people in a photo backdrop of a champion somewhere in America that perhaps all had an active part of making this one a champion? Who would have thought that we have to utilize DNA to determine the sire or dam of a litter? Who would have thought that a 10-12-month-old pig could still be a major part of a junior participant’s show string and being highly competitive for elite honors?

Hog breeders are still hog breeders and takers are still takers. Integrity, ethics, morals, and doing what is right will always be the proper channel I prefer to deal in. Mistakes— made a bunch of them throughout my life and will no doubt continue to. Serving people and trusting the process will continue to be my guide. It really is pretty simple to do the right thing . . . every time. ✓ Tell the truth ✓ Be kind and respectful ✓ Be sympathetic ✓ Help others ✓ Say please and thank you ✓ Be the best you can be ✓ Value each day ✓ Hug your wife and kids ✓ Be adaptive to change

Herd Boar Headquarters

A huge thank you to Jerry Masters, ASI Showpigs, along with Mclayn Musick for selecting the 2019 Poland China Hog College Boar at Austin, for $5,500. This negative Sledgehammer son, out of an outstanding Sugar Ray daughter is one of the most unique and exciting Poland China boars to surface in recent years. The first Poland to capture a bat at the NBS® Home Run Derby, as the Chairman’s Choice, this guy combined function and look about as well as you can. Sound, heavy boned, powerful, clean fronted, big middled, productive and attractive. If you’ve got females left to breed, don’t wait! He has been collected and is ready to go. Contact Jerry Masters for a chance to get something special. Hit your own Home Run in 2020 with Bearcat.

Thanks to Breeder’s Choice for choosing this RRG7 Final Look x Rain Dance son. This March-farrowed boar comes from a very strong litter. His momma is a littermate to Sitting Bull. Talk about power in a correct package. Made for the times, he is called Mahomes because he is exciting and he can make you better in a hurry. Don’t miss out on sampling this powerhouse soon. Give Tony a call today!

Oh my, what a BEAST! Our thanks to Rusty and crew at Lean Value Sires for their confidence in Tonto. this $5,000 of-the-farm purchase was a standout from day one.

This is one of the biggest volumed, stoutest, fastest-growing young hogs we have ever seen. Rib shape, bone size, style and mass in a moderate package. What’s not to love?

His mother is a littermate to Sitting Bull and a full sister to Crazy Horse, the 2019 The Exposition Champion Boar. Power and predictability in this one. Contact Rusty to get in on this deal today.

Still more thanks goes out to our good friends, Randy and Jan Allen, for their off-the-farm purchase of CPC9 Ball Pein 10-7. He is another Sledgehammer and a littermate to the Hog College Boar. A little bigger, a little longer, a little taller and perhaps a bit bigger footed, this is one great hog. Named, The Answer, he can check a lot of boxes and fix a lot of problems. This firm will know how to put him to work making better Polands. Check with the Allens next spring so you don’t get left behind.

Association News Notes Don Resler awarded Spotted Hall of Fame Award The dedication, genetic support, and futuristic ideas of Don Resler and family of Owatonna, Minnesota, were recognized by the National Spotted Swine Association Board of Directors and its members at the 2019 National Barrow Show® in Austin, Minnesota.

Since 1935, Mr. Resler and his family have bred Spotted hogs who have worked successfully for hundreds of commercial customers and now show pig customers who value his judgement, honesty and knowledge. This is a true family enterprise that has worked hard to make a better purebred swine industry and Spotted breed. There is no doubt that Don Resler and the “DR” prefix is a model of excellence, stability and pride for the Spotted breed.

American Berkshire Association makes change to registration requirements This summer, the American Berkshire Association (ABA) held its 144th Annual Membership Meeting, in Springfield, Illinois, in conjunction with the Summer Type Conference. The ABA membership voted to amend the ABA By-Laws with the following changes to the ABA Registration Requirements.

Changes to Registration Requirements Update to Constitution and Bylaws – goes into effect with pigs farrowed January 1, 2020, and after.

ARTICLE XIX - Markings and Identification Requirements Section 1. Color. The ideal color pattern is black with six white points (face, four socks, tip of tail). Less desirable, but acceptable, are sandy colored hair in the areas where white and black border.

Color Qualifications for Registration (boars, gilts and barrows must meet the following color requirements in order to be recorded): A Berkshire must have white on the face and tail, unless the tail is docked. Three of four legs must be white. A Berkshire must not have a spotted or mottling pattern – an intermixture of black and white and/or red hair that is larger than a contiguous 93.5 square inches area anywhere on the body of a mature pig (approximately

a 8 ½ x 11 square inch area, on a 50 lb pig, this would be equivalent to 15 square inches, or a 3 x 5 area). A Berkshire must not have an area of white skin that exceeds 93.5 square inches of contiguous solid white skin on the upper 2/3 of the body (15 square inches on a 50 lb pig). A Berkshire cannot have white skin or hair that continuously encircles the body anywhere between the base of the ear and the base of the tail. From the base of the ear forward, a Berkshire cannot be solid white. A Berkshire cannot have any skin color besides black and white (includes red or sandy colored skin).

Section 2. Ear Carriage. The ideal ear carriage is ridged and tight. Less desirable,

but acceptable, ear carriage is: a) ears that are larger than astatically pleasing and b) ear carriage that lacks rigidity.

Section 3. Identification Requirements. No animal shall be eligible to record unless it is distinctively ear-notched at farrowing time. All pigs from the same litter must carry the same litter notch. When individual ear-notches are used, the right ear shall be used for the litter notch and the left ear for individual notch, in accordance with the official Berkshire earnotching system. Official ear-notching system available on request. No two litters on the farm shall be ear-notched the same during the same farrowing season, which

may be interpreted as being between January 1 through June 30 and July 1 through December 31 of each year.

Section 4. Disqualification for Registration of Breeding animals. The presence of one or more of the following are disqualifications for registration: a) less than 6 functional teats on each side b) the presence of one or more swirls on upper half of the body, c) total blindness, d) rectal or uterine prolapse, e) hermaphroditism, f ) atresia ani; g) cryptorchidism or monorchidism; h) scrotal and/or umbilical hernia, and i) ear carriage that “breaks” to the point in which ears are continually directed in a downward angle.

This change will go into effect for pigs farrowed January 1, 2020, and after. Please note that the American Berkshire Association Show rules require 6 functional teats on each side to be eligible to exhibit. Making animals born prior to January 1, 2020, still ineligible to show at ABA and Team Purebred national and regional shows.

As unique as they come, combining an extremely tall front end, is long fronted, sound, immature and really attractive from the side with enough product, structure and muscle. A private treaty purchase from Ken and Austin Lane, Iowa.

A home-raised son of the powerful Juice Box, this guy is a full brother to the 2019 NBS® Champion Boar, bred here. Extra good on his feet and legs, tall shouldered, long and level in his rump and bred and built to make the next generation better.

The 2019 NBS® Hog College Boar from Kolb Genetics, Illinois. The dam of this breed improver was the 2018 NBS® Reserve Champion Gilt, bred here. We love the heaviness of structure, muscularity, width, soundness and build in this boar. Owned with Randy and Jan Allen, Illinois.

SEMEN AVAILABLE ON ALL BOARS PICTURED

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2019

When this guy came available to Smith Farms, it was a quick phone call to Dave Bloch, Minnesota, to tell him we will take the boar!

A littermate was the 2019 Minnesota State Fair Reserve Champion Overall Gilt. We love the rib, center blade, width and athleticism in this powerful and uniquely bred Berkshire boar.

Bred by the Behrends Family and raised by Luke Prill, we selected Juice Box at the 2017 WPX. Simply put, he might be the very best generating Berkshire boar ever to reside here at Smith Farms. He makes show boars, outstanding females and elite show barrows.

Slump Buster x Full Circle x Never Mind

The 2019 NBS® Champion Poland Boar, bred by Tucker’s Polands, Iowa. A&D Polands is thrilled to team up with the Center Prairie crew to bring this guy to Illinois. Impressive for his muscularity, rib shape, foot size, bone and body mass, we are offering a limited amount of semen on The Dark Knight. Call Tom Olson, Center Prairie Genetics at (815) 303-4625 to get headed in the right direction with your Poland enterprise.

Stress Negative Polands with Style and Performance

he progression of our long-standing, consistent and productive Poland China herd has gone yet to a new level. With the purchase of IXL8 Jailhouse Rock 1-10 (IXL Scorcher 3-1 x RAIN3 Kankles 13-3), the Scheller program has seen increased growth and increased breed character with an ample amount of muscle and he has certainly helped on bone, length and soundness.

We love the aggressiveness and breeding habits of Jailhouse Rock and are confident that his daughters will maintain the production level we insist Scheller Poland China females attain. We are extremely pleased with Jailhouse Rock’s phenotype but more importantly his progeny.

We have a featured litter out of the 2017 NBS® top-selling boar 7 Kankles 22-4 that have some unique and top prospects included. You can have quality, style and performance in a stress negative package at Tonganoxie, Kansas.

BRED FOR SUCCESS Missouri State Fair Reserve Champion Gilt

Beatdown x Bada Bing

As sound and correct as you can make one, we were honored to have this one named reserve champion.

We think Brandon Spears made a great selection in taking this one to Oklahoma where she will have a great chance to prove her worth. Additional thanks to Keegan and Kendall Brewer for their purchase of the second place littermate to this gilt.

NBS® Reserve Champion Gilt Beatdown x Trading Favors

Thanks to Charles Pence for bringing this one back to Missouri. We thought she was special, and look forward to seeing what she generates next year. We retained a littermate and are excited about the potential she has as well.

Missouri State Fair Grand Champion Boar

Beatdown x Bada Bing

A littermate to the Missouri Reserve Champion Gilt, this guy came from a strong litter with four littermate barrows taking breed champion or reserve honors at multiple county and district fairs. Thank you to Carolgene Romans for selecting this big, rugged, sound, and fast-growing champion to go to work in her Spot program.

We have retained some excellent Beatdown and Time Hop-sired gilts who will fit right in with the sows who generated these champions. Look for their offspring to be strong competitors Semen Available on in 2020 and give us a call to discuss breeding stock or show pigs any time.

CW S SPOTTED

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

Austin continues the year’s Spotted success Byline: Jeff Morris The 2019 National Barrow Show® worked under a new schedule, condensing down a day with the open breeding stock shows and sales all being held on Tuesday. Combine that with yet another year of growth in the junior show, a well-attended judging contest along with the Home Run Drive and truckload show, these all made for a full four days in Austin, Minnesota. As the curtain closed down Tuesday evening, we believe we concluded a successful 73rd National Barrow Show. The Spotted show was a big part of that success.

Congratulations to Fee Farm,s Ackworth, Iowa, for having our Spotted Hog College Boar. Eric and Rod Fee were humbled to be bestowed with this honor. This was even more special as the Fee family celebrates 100 years of recording purebred Spotted hogs. Rod believes this boar and his litter are the very best ever produced by the Fees over those 100 years. Talk about a litter!

18 born and 14 weaned. One gilt was retained and the other 12 were sold as show pigs this spring with 11 reported banners or trophies won. That is impressive. Sired by Get Down and an Icon sow who has raised 65 pigs in 6 litters. The boar is sound off of both ends. He is truly impressive in his width of chest and has a muscular rump and stifle. He is stout structured and has a big ditch down his back. “Freight Train” sold to David Fay, Iowa, for $1,000.

Congratulations to Team Loos, Litchfield, Nebraska, for having our Spotted Hog College Gilt. Trent and his family have a passion for making Spot females who will come in heat, conceive, farrow large litters with ease, wean healthy and growthy pigs, and then rebreed for multiple parities. College Queen 23-1 appears to be one who will do all of those things. Sired by Harvest Moon and a granddaughter of Queen Bee, their foundation sow who has over 40 daughters and granddaughters contributing to their program. The gilt is flawless in her skeleton being flexible and athletic. She possesses an excellent underline and vulva size and has grown well. She will make an excellent foundation sow for Greg Harder, Nebraska, giving $3,000 to own her.

After Judge Steven Resler, Minnesota, had evaluated three classes of boars he landed on the winner of class 3 as his champion. Triggs Show Pigs, Iowa, showed a son of Emancipation who was tall fronted, attractive, heavy boned, and sound with a good amount of muscle. Ryker Johnke, South Dakota purchased this guy making him second top-selling at $3,300. The reserve boar topped a deep class 2. Shown by Gary and Jeb Hellebust, Kansas, their boar was heavy boned with an expressive top. Not to mention that all in attendance ringside saw a real breeding boar attitude. Miller Farms, Illinois, selected him at $400.

Raasch Farms, Missouri, won class 1 with a Jack Black son who was tall fronted and heavy boned with a big rib cage. Niehaus & Feldman, Iowa, was second in class 1 with a son of Beatdown. The boar excelled in extension and stride and foot. Going second in class 2 behind the reserve boar was Burkhalter Show

Hog College Gilt Team Loos, Neb. BREEDERS DIGEST

Pigs, Indiana, with a boar out of Head Strong. This one is tall at the point of the shoulder, wide chested, and has a show pig look. Sharber Family, Oklahoma, will put him to work for $500. Our top-selling boar at $5,000 landed third in class 2. Consigned by Team Loos and sired by The Rookie and purchased by Monica Reinfeld, North Dakota, he was bold in his rib, ultra sound, heavy muscled and sat on excellent foot and bone. Placing second behind the champion in class 3 was the CKL Spots Body Guard boar. The huge centered, flexible, stoutstructured boar was purchased for $1,000 by Yates & Behrmann, Illinois.

At the conclusion of the four gilt classes, the Miller Triplets’ class 2 winner was named champion. The Colonel-sired gilt was balanced, structurally correct and feminine appearing. She brings $2,500 selling to Duane Fortney, Ohio. The reserve gilt placed second, right behind her in class 2 driven by Oaks Livestock, Missouri. The Beatdown gilt was youthful and bold ribbed, sitting on a big foot.

She brings $650 going to Charles Pence, Missouri. Placing third in class was Kevin Yates, Illinois, with a popular Loud Mouth gilt bringing $1,400 to Ryker Johnke. She was long strided, muscular and heavy structured. The fourth-place gilt was a well-designed, wide hipped, good hindlegged Beatdown from Niehaus & Feldman. Rourke Sisters, Iowa, showed a Full Throttle daughter who went fifth, selling to Eric Anderson, Minnesota, for $300. Joel Olson buys Greyson Tedrow’s sixth place Wheels And Deals gilt for $300. Winning class 1 was Brock Rohrs, Ohio. Brock’s gilt, sired by Mute, possessed a good underline and vulva size and was sound. Raasch Farms placed second with a Harvest Moon gilt being very maternal in her look. CKL Spots placed third with a powerfully built, big bodied daughter of Louie selling to Mike and Ron Brown for $2,000.

Winning class 3 was Albertson Brothers, Iowa, with a Blind Luck gilt. She excelled the class in foot, bone, body and rib. It took Terry Butler, Iowa, $800 to take her home. Oaks Livestock, Missouri, goes second with a rugged, durable gilt sired by Loud N Proud. Albertson Brothers placed third with a Maximum Torque gilt who was muscular, heavy boned, and big middled. Terry Butler also took her home for $900. Jeff and Brendon Peters, Illinois, placed fourth with a gilt sired by Iceman. She sold for $300 to Aaron Schroht, Minnesota.

The Klecker Family, Minnesota, drove an attractive and moderate Jump Start gilt to fifth place and also sold to Schroht for $300. Class 4 proved to be the most popular class of the day in the buyers’ eyes with three gilts bringing four figures. Winning the class was Derr Farms, Missouri. The Emancipation gilt was very sound, wide based and had an immense amount of internal dimension.

Wetovick Swine Farm, Nebraska, purchased her for $1,000. The Miller Triplets went second with a Big Town gilt. The gilt was the outlier of the show in regards to bone. Those legs were huge. Levi Meuer, Illinois, was the successful bidder at $2,500. John Bodine, Indiana, showed an attractive, well-designed gilt to third and brought $1,500 selling to Burkhalter. The fourth-place Team Loos gilt was well-balanced and possessed strong maternal traits selling to Dakota Gold, South Dakota, for $550. The Risius Family, Minnesota, earned fifth place with a gilt sired by A-Marek-As Choice. She was moderate and had a show pig look, selling for $425 to Hunnter Bloch, Minnesota.

I would first like to thank Steven Resler, Owatonna, Minnesota, for an excellent job of judging our show. His family has a rich history in the Spotted breed as his grandfather received The Spot Distinguished Service Award at this year’s NBS®. Steven has established himself not only as a good hog man but as a leader serving in many leadership capacities. Keep up the good work, Steven.

Thank you to Julie Olson and Rhonda Armstrong for your work in the office.

Thank you to Dale Richey for your assistance all week long. We appreciate Ernie Barnes announcing our show and working the ring at our sale. Thank you to Dallas McDermott for scanning. Thanks to all who helped run boards during the show. Thanks to all consignors and buyers. We sincerely appreciate your support. I look forward to seeing up at an upcoming event.

X CROSSBRED GILTS

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

Crossbred gilts high in quality at Austin Byline: Jack Wall Although small in numbers, the three crossbred gilts who made the trip to the 2019 National Barrow Show® certainly had quality to add to the next generation of modern-day show pigs.

The CPS staff selected Kelly Sheets to sort this top-end set of crossbred gilts.

It was certainly a pleasure to watch Kelly confidently, professionally and accurately place the gilts at Austin. Certainly no stranger to elite hogs, it was the first time we witnessed Mr. Sheets on the big stage and as expected, he knocked it out of the park. I would guess quite a few more venues will see Kelly grabbing the microphone. Good job, Kelly, job well done.

Selected as champion was a many-time champion shown by Denver Nordman of Chancellor, South Dakota. This Lock It Up x Wedding Night daughter was heavy skeletoned, big footed, robust in her rib cage, muscular, and powerful in her design. She was popular on sale day, selling to Ottenwalter Genetics of California for $5,500. Reserve honors went to the Oulman Family. This Stones daughter had plenty of muscle, bone, and was feminine in her skelton and extremely sound.

She sold to the Preston Girls of Illinois for $250. Ashley Jensen stood third with a Muddy Waters x Visionary gilt who was really good in her rib, foot and bone. She sold to Don Alstad for $250.

The National Barrow Show® is always a great place to see friends, talk about the world’s problems, and also exchange genetics. I think 2019 was a great year for that and we certainly encourage more participation in future crossbred gilt shows and sales in Austin, Minnesota.

C CHESTER WHITE

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

High-quality Chester Whites at NBS® Byline: Jeff Morris For many, the National Barrow Show® continues to be their favorite show of the year. The history surrounding the event, the more comfortable temperatures, and a chance to catch your breath before a busy harvest season are some of the reasons that make Austin, Minnesota, special. Hog College Row continues to be an important part of NBS®. Jack and I take seriously the task of selecting animals who proudly represent our CPS breeds. The Chester gilt chosen was owned by junior member Ryan Fruge of Lincoln, Illinois, and bred by Bob Chalus of Tonica, Illinois. She is truly an elite Chester female. At the 2018 Summer Type Conference, Bob Chalus purchased the champion gilt. Bob bred her to a fourth-place boar purchased by Twin Oaks Farm at the same event. The total investment in those two animals was $1,050. The result yielded an impressive $8,000 top-selling gilt for Ryan. During the Hog College Home Run Drive, the college students selected her as the very best. Seeing Ryan proudly holding his bat is a memory we won’t soon forget. Arnett Bros., Illinois, purchased this stout but feminine, flexible, thick-made Chester female. Our Hog College Boar selection was from Malone Show Pigs, Victoria, Illinois. The Man Power-sired boar was from a large litter of 14 born and 11 weaned. His dam has been the cornerstone for the Malone’s program, producing multiple champions at NBS® and beyond.

Landon Behrens, Illinois, appreciated his flawless design, abundant muscle and well-balanced look, purchasing him for $450.

We were honored to have Neil Albertson, Fremont, Iowa, step in the ring to judge our show. Neil is usually driving elite Chester females at our events and is known to be one of the most successful breeders of our time. Neil will undoubtedly tell you he is more comfortable making Chesters than talking about them on a mic. Thank you, Neil, for an outstanding job of analyzing the offering. The champion boar came out of class 1. Exhibited by Hannah Marzahl, Wisconsin. The Who’s In son was attractive, stout, and wide based. Marzahl Prospects will make semen available on this really good boar. Reserve honors went to M.D. Ideus, Illinois, with a fast-growing, big outlined, muscular son of Rum Runner. The Brown’s of Missouri know performance and productivity and it made for an easy decision to buy M.D.’s boar. Randy Schmidt, Iowa, placed second behind the champion with a Fireworks son. The boar was extra shapely while being sound, wide, and set on a good amount of foot and bone. The Lamee Family, South Dakota, will put him to work for $400. Armstrong Genetics, Illinois, were second and third behind the reserve boar. The second-place boar, sired by Rum Runner, was heavy boned, bold ribbed and balanced. Michou & Perry selected him for $500.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2019

Hog College Gilt Ryan Fruge, Ill. BREEDERS DIGEST

brought us another winner with one being functional, wide based, and big centered, with extra stoutness. David Light, Ohio, was the successful bidder making the Who’s In daughter second top-selling at $1,000. The reserve gilt, shown by Christina Creager, Illinois, was very feminine, sound and had a show pig look. Judge Albertson kept stressing females should be pretty and she exemplified that to a tee. With the champion gilts coming out of the first two classes, the final class was won by Armstrong Genetics with a Twisted daughter. Long necked, long strided, big bodied and hipped best describe her. David Light, Ohio, purchased her for $850. Placing second in class 2 behind the champion was Smitty’s Chesters, Illinois. Sired by Bluegrass, she had a great underline and excelled in base width. Second in class 1 behind the reserve was Steven Resler, Minnesota, with a gilt sired by Wally. Jordan Parker, Illinois, placed second in class 3. The Jameson-sired gilt was tall shouldered and sound with exceptional reproductive traits. The Lessen Family, Illinois, brought us the third place gilts in class 1 and 2.

Both sired by Trust Me, they were big footed and muscular.

On behalf of the CPS staff, I would like to thank everyone who helped with the shows at the 73rd National Barrow Show®. Thank you to Julie Olson and Rhonda Armstrong for your work at check-in, catalogs and sale results. Thank you to Dale Richey, Nathan Arnholt, and Reese Frohling for your help all week with a variety of tasks. We appreciate Ernie Barnes for announcing and working the ring.

Auctioneer Chad Day did his usual solid job and I wish everyone a safe fall season and look forward to seeing you soon.

H HEREFORD

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

Welcome back to the NBS® for the Hereford breed Byline: Jeff Morris With much anticipation and excitement, Herefords made their return to the 2019 National Barrow Show®. With a fresh new sign on the wall of Crane Pavilion, it was an honor to be a part of the show. Before the open breeding stock show, 17 Hereford junior exhibitors with 20 barrows and gilts participated in the NBS® Junior Classic. The next day, Don Geer & Family of Clint High Farms of New Vienna, Ohio, represented the Hereford breed in the truckload competition. We look forward to many more National Barrow Show® events for Herefords and being part of the breed’s continued growth and popularity.

Being the first time back after a long absence on Hog College Row we knew we needed two special individuals to represent the breed. I think all will agree we hit it out of the park. The gilt representative was from Bona Vista Farms of Farmersville, Ohio. The Michaels’ contacted us early, expressing what an honor it would be to have one of the Hereford Hog College animals.

After videos and pictures, Jack and I agreed their gilt nomination was the one.

The gilt sired by Imposter and out of a Fireworks dam is loaded with banners won from Summer Type Conference, Indiana State Fair, and Ohio State Fair.

Analyzing the gilt one must admire her unbelievable rib cage, underline quality, muscle, and breed character. D&H Stock, Indiana, are the proud new owners at $3,000. The boar was represented by Bombei & Sons of Delta, Iowa. I had the opportunity to view this boar three different times over the summer. I knew from the first time I saw him he needed to be our Hog College Boar.

After a family discussion, they nominated the boar and then proudly accepted the honor. The first time I saw the boar it may have been the hottest day of the year. After a chocolate malt, Heather dropped the boar out of his pen and started walking him around the yard. Matt and I began discussing the boar.

We talked quite a while when I realized Heather was still driving the boar.

He never missed a step and had not gotten gassed or worked up even in the extreme heat. He was that comfortable. He is sired by Pipefitter who is having an awesome run siring banner-winning Herefords. The boar’s Red Garter mother had an awesome run herself being shown in Oklahoma and making the top five at OYE. The boar is tall fronted, has a long and extended front end, and abundant bone and muscle. Combine that with his skeletal correctness and overall balance, add in his dark color and breed character and this is one impressive Hereford boar. Sugar Creek, Clint High, and RRG partnered to own him at $3,000.

Ben Schmaling stayed in the ring after the Poland show to also judge the Herefords. Ben and his brother have had success with their Hereford program and he was a great choice to line them up for us in Austin. Thank you, Ben, for a job well done. The champion boar was exhibited by Steven Resler, Minnesota, with a War Cry sired boar.

He was wide-based, heavy boned and big backed. Tom Rake is the new owner at $850. The reserve boar was from Toad Creek & Rauert, Neb. The Zorro boar was wide-based, correct and muscular. Rounding out the boar show was Parker Farms, Illinois. The Parkers drove a solid set of hogs across multiple Hog College Gilt Holly Michael & Family, Ohio breeds at this year’s NBS®.

Hog College Boar Bombei & Sons, Iowa

Carter Calmus, South Dakota, drove a Never Back Down gilt to champion honors. Huge ribbed, big centered and attractive with extra bone separated her from the pack. Andrew Foster purchased her for $475. The reserve gilt from Rourke Sisters, Iowa, won class 2 with a Say No More. She was moderate and had an exceptional show pig look. Croy Polands buy her for $1,000. The other class winning gilt was from Iggy’s Piggy’s, Minnesota. The New Adventure gilt was big-footed, heavy structured and sound. Crump Farms, Illinois, selected her at $400. Placing second in class 1 behind the champion was Steven Resler with a Taco Truck gilt. Functional with a good underline and good vulva will make her a good sow for the Oaks at $300. Placing second behind the reserve in class 2 was the Smith Family, Ohio. Sired by Raw Emotion, the gilt was bold ribbed and big centered with an expressive top. Alecia Miller bid $1,000 to own her.

Thank you to everyone who played a part in making the Hereford’s first appearance back at the National Barrow Show® a success. From our judge to office help to ring help to our auctioneer, it takes several to run the show smoothly. We are fortunate to have so many give 100% to make our shows run so well. Thank you to all consignors and buyers. We look forward to seeing numbers grow in years to come.

Honored, humbled & committed to the breed A huge and humbling thank you to C&HF Polands (Clothier and Hyland Farms), for their $7,000 purchase of “Sweetie” at the 2019 National Barrow Show®. It was indeed exciting that veteran breeders who we have tremendous respect for, appraise our efforts with high regard.

Keegan and Kendall Brewer and the entire Reid family are honored to have had this incredible 10-9 (Hot Pursuit x Jackpot) gilt selected to represent the Poland China breed on Hog College Row. Building them like 10-9 has always been our goal and when you combine properskeletal correctness with great angles, a long hip with muscle, a great underline, growth and disposition with a feminine yet futuristic design you’ve really got something.

2019 NBS® Poland Hog College Gilt The Brewer kids and the Reid families are humbled with the acceptance, honored with the award for the 2019 Poland Hog College Gilt and committed to continuing to make the next generation better for the breed.

When discussing this female with Wilma Mende, she kept mentioning how the gilt looked like those great Poland females from years past——long sided, well balanced, attractive with muscle, bone and an undeniable Poland look!

Simply said, “THANK YOU Poland China friends for all of the positive comments on this gilt and if we have to haul the next one in the trunk of the car, we’ll do it!”— J.R. 46

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

Polands’ quality deep at Austin Byline: Jeff Morris The National Barrow Show® has a rich history of being one of the events where elite Poland China’s surface. This year was no exception as the Poland representatives on Hog College Row proved to be of that quality. Beyond those two, several other outstanding individuals were shown. With another year of growth in the junior show and another strongly attended judging contest, the National Barrow Show® is alive and well.

The Hog College Poland Boar honor was awarded to Croy Polands Gallatin, Missouri. Dennis had shared with me early in the summer that he believed he had a special boar on feed. As the summer progressed, we stayed in touch and Dennis shared with us that the boar continued to get better and better. Through pictures and videos, we could see why Dennis was excited and when we laid eyes on him at Austin we were convinced we had found the right one. During the Home Run Drive, the judges agreed, naming him the best on Hog College Row. Congratulations, to the Croys for winning the bat! Sired by Sledge Hammer and out of the Pet sow, the boar is powerful, ultra sound, attractive, moderate, and heavy structured. The boar was top selling at $5,500 going to Masters, ASI Show Pigs, and Croy. The Hog College Gilt honors were awarded to Keegan and Kendall Brewer of Sweet Springs, Missouri, along with proud grandma and grandpa, Jerry and Tina Reid. The stress negative gilt was sired by Hot Pursuit, bred by the Reids, and out of a Jackpot first-litter sow. She was purchased at the 2018 Illinois State Fair after she was named champion. Purchasing high-quality females is nothing new for the Reids and this is exactly the kind of gilt they had in mind. They now shared an elite gilt out of an elite sow with the public being given the opportunity to own her. One has to admire her extended front end, show ring look, balance, and design. The gilt checks all the boxes of what a Poland sow should look like. Several tried to own her but in the end, Clothier & Mende were the successful bidders at $7,000.

The champion boar was consigned by Tucker Polands, Iowa. Sired by Slump Buster and the winner of class 2, the boar was big bladed, attractive, and heavy structured. A&D Polands teamed up with Center Prairie Genetics, Illinois, to purchase him for $525. The reserve champion boar, sired by No Love, was second behind the champion for Michou Polands, Texas. He was stout while being long hipped and muscular. Class 1 was won by Earl and Lori Skaar, Minnesota, with a Cold War son who had previously been champion at the Minnesota State Fair.

Wide based, good looking with a long stride convinced the Miller Triplets to own him for $600. Placing second in class 1 was Roger Waller, Iowa, with a big-footed, heavy muscled, big bladed son of SFL First Sight. A unique boar went third in class 2 from IXL Breeding Herds from Iowa. The boar was extreme in blade, base

After three competitive gilt classes, the winner of class 3 took home the hardware for Vegas Show Pigs, Iowa. Kelly’s gilt, sired by Unplugged, was purchased by Evan and Nash Aurthur, Indiana, for $2,500. Judge Ben Schmaling talked about her comfort level while being tall at the point of the shoulder and heavy structured. The reserve followed our champion in class 3, shown by the Miller Triplets. This First Aid daughter had an excellent profile and was square and good footed. Kane Austin, Illinois, purchased her for $800. A&D Polands, Illinois, followed those placing third and fourth with a pair of gilts sired by the premier sire, I Told You So. The gilts were thick, powerful and big centered. The third-place gilt sold to Mason Hartman, Illinois, for $1,300 and the fourth place gilt sold to Tony Nye, Ohio, for $600. Placing fifth with a First Aid gilt were the Rourke Sisters, Iowa. Sixth was Emma Holst, Minnesota, with another I Told You So gilt. She sold for $600 to Kimber Moody, Illinois. Winning class 1 was Bruce Schulz Family, Wisconsin, with a Nirvana-sired gilt. She was bold in her rib and big centered with abundant muscle. Zukowski’s of Wisconsin purchased her for $500. Center Prairie Genetics, Illinois, was second with a youthful, complete, well balanced, very sound daughter of I Told You So. Bruce Griebel, Iowa, was the successful bidder at $600. Shott Family Livestock, Illinois, placed third with a correct and wide chested Critical Mass gilt. She went to Roger Waller for $300.

VW Show Pigs, South Dakota, placed fourth with an attractive, muscular and moderate gilt out of Casino. Twin Maples Farm, Illinois, saw the good in her at $400. Schulz also won class 2 with a gilt sired by their 2018 Hog College Boar, The Graduate. Being excellent in her hind leg and heavy structured, she brought $900 to Alan Denoyer, Nebraska. The Shott Family placed second with a Rolling Thunder gilt who was bold in her rib and attractive with a good underline.

Keegan and Kendall Brewer selected her at $850. Rourke Sisters’ feminine, good profiling daughter of Black Bear placed third, selling for $400 to Michou. Nathan Arnholt picked the fourth place Twin Maple’s gilt for $850. She was extra stout with a big rump.

A huge thank you goes to our judge, Ben Schmaling for doing a fantastic job of placing our Poland offering. First though, a big congratulations go to Ben and his wife on the birth of their second child the previous week. We are thrilled everything worked as planned and he was able to do our show. He truly is one of the bright young minds in our industry and I look forward to seeing him judge more shows in the future. Thank you to all who helped with the Poland show. I must mention the excellent job of scanning done by Dallas McDermott. Also, thanks to Julie, Rhonda, Dale, Nathan, Reese, Chad, and Ernie for all their efforts.

Thank you Poland breeders for bringing us your entries and a sincere thank you to all the buyers. Good luck with your purchases and we appreciate your support.

Accurate data derived under very practical conditions will ensure very practical hogs on a most consistent basis. We take great pride in that all pigs produced meet our high standards for structural correctness, maternal traits, growth rate, carcass characteristics and meat eating quality traits ( i.e. tenderness, juiciness and flavor). This is enhanced by our 47 years of complete data collection on the afore mentioned traits and the development of our 6 inbred lines. In addition, the use of STAGES since its inception in 1985 and the National Progeny Test for meat eating quality have further afforded the distinctions mentioned. We aim to continue this very high level of performance through continued selection for the traits mentioned. Pictured is our oldest sow (11 years old) who is still very functional and continues to play a very strong role in the genetic framework of our herd. Please let us know if we might help you in the development of your Berkshire herd. Performance is assured.

Big Time Poland Recruit

When I saw the promotional information on the 2019 Poland China animals, my mind started racing on the possibilities of breeding elite Polands. Of special interest was the Poland China gilt that certainly caught my eye for lots of reasons. We loved the “old school” length of body, eye appeal, muscle and feet placement but also gravitated to her excellent underline, breed character, clean frontend and general quality.

With our new partnership of C&HF Polands, we determined that she needed to be owned and make the next generation better at our houses. Joining the STC champion from Schulz, the popular duo will take us into 2020 and beyond with the top two recruits available in the country this season.

Thanks to Keagan & Kendall Brewer and Reid Polands for allowing me to own Sweetie.

No order too large or too small.

Let our experience and our Berkshires help you develop your Berkshire herd and program.

ABA Viewpoint

Forged in fire Byline: Alex Conover ABA Director of Operations

If you were to turn on the television today and flip through the channels, you would find an abundance of competition series that pit four contestants against one another. Typically, throughout the one-hour time slot, the contestants get whittled down through a series of elimination rounds that keep viewers, such as myself, on the edge of their seats. The final minutes of the episode always feature a showdown between the last two contestants to decide who wins the grand prize. Recently, I came across one of these competition shows on the History channel, titled “Forged in Fire”.

This particular show features four bladesmiths with varying levels of experience. Some are professionally trained while others are self-taught. However, they all have common respect for their craft. Over three rounds, they

I challenge you to not be afraid to compete. compete to make bladed weapons. As I watched the first episode, I was fascinated at how the contestants turned pieces of seemingly scrap metal into magnificent works of art and lethal weapons. While the contestants work in their forge, you can visibly see the sweat and blood each bladesmith pours into his or her weapon. You watch as the metal is heated, pressed, hammered, ground, shaped, sharpened, and polished. The process is extensive and takes place under the most grueling conditions.

After each round, a panel of judges evaluates the work of each bladesmith and puts each weapon through a series of tests. The tests are designed to assess the balance of the blade, structural integrity, and overall functionality of the weapon. In some instances, the weapons perform remarkably well, while in other instances the weapons fracture or break under the stress inflicted on the metal or simply do not meet

the prearranged criteria for that challenge.

Going into the first episode, I knew little about the science or technique associated with forging metal.

Admittedly, after my interest peaked, I watched four episodes back to back. After each episode, it became more evident to me that the principles and philosophy the bladesmiths used to design the ideal blade could easily transcend to the traits you as breeders select for when forging the next generation of purebred swine.

Every breeding season, breeders all over the country gear up for their very own episode of “Forged in Fire,” and let me tell you the competition is fierce. Are you set up to be competitive and make it to the final round? First, be mindful of the criteria set forth by your respective breed associations. Ensuring you meet the registration requirements guarantees your time in the competition will not be cut short. Second, take the time to evaluate your raw materials. It is your challenge as the breeder to “forge” or mate the best possible genetics to help you achieve what is in your mind as the “ideal pig”. To each of you, this endpoint will be different and your designs will vary. Lastly, keep in mind that the judges and buyers will be looking for balance, structural soundness, and most importantly overall functionality.

I challenge you to not be afraid to compete. Each time you can get out in front of a livestock evaluator or prospective buyer, you will gain valuable tools and feedback which will help you build a stronger foundation, leading to continued success. Inevitably, as we all know, not every mating will produce the desired results. This is the perfect time to reflect, make adjustments and be ready for the next round of competition.

Just like the metal used by the bladesmiths, you will be heated, pressed, hammered, ground, shaped, sharpened, and polished. Trust the process. Only those strong enough to stand in the fire and endure the flame will be able to make it to the final round.

“Dreams are born in our heads, but they are forged and perfected in the fire of experience.” — Carol Tice

National Barrow Show® Show & Sale Report

NBS wraps up the summer show season Byline: Jan Allen For many in the seedstock business who live in the Midwest, summer sees us travel to major shows offering our genetics to fellow breeders or laying in new genetics for our enterprises. Expo and Summer Type Conference are over, we’ve been to the county fairs and the state fairs in the Cornbelt are a wrap. Austin and the National Barrow Show® (NBS®) are the last opportunity for many to talk hogs before they get in the grain-farming mode. For those in the High Plains and the East Coast maybe things are just getting underway. Regardless of where you call home, Austin was still an exciting place to be for the 73rd National Barrow Show®.

Since 1927, NBS® has set the standard for excellence of breeding stock shown.

From the beginning, the Austin atmosphere has been unique. Each of the nine breeds represented by the National Swine Registry, Certified Pedigreed Swine and the American Berkshire Association select a boar and a gilt as their Hog College animals. These are the animals who most closely exemplify the breed standard and are in a head-to-head competition for the crowning of a champion, a truckload show is held and youth judging contests too. The Hog College animals were paraded for all to see, while a committee of judges selected the champions.

The livestock judging teams also selected champions amongst the Hog College animals. It is always an exciting part of NBS® with a lot of cheering and rooting for favorites. Berkshires were well represented with the Hog College Gilt honors going to Ritter Family Berks, Indiana, on a Shattered daughter. This up-headed, powerfully built gilt was purchased by Wolff Family Genetics for $950. The Hog College Boar was bred by Kurtis Kolb, Illinois. He was a Fence Post out of a Juice Box daughter and walked out like he owned the place. He brought $3,000 from the Jeff Smith Family, Alliance Genetics and Kimber Moody. If you have never been to Austin to see the truckload show, it is a reason to go. This is the only show I am aware of where this competition exists. The animals are divided into light and heavy weight classes for a purebred division and a crossbred division. I am delighted to tell you the lightweight division was won by the Berkshires, exhibited

by AJC Berks, Iowa. Congrats to all!

The Junior Classic kicked off the 2019 edition of NBS® with a large number of entries for both barrows and gilts. Berkshire entries were the second largest breed exhibited. A Berk barrow, shown by Wyatt Martin and bred by the Beaman Family, was the champion Berk and the reserve grand champion purebred barrow.

Open hogs arrived during a cold, windy, rainy spell. Sunday and Monday had all of us scrambling for sweatshirts and jackets. With a change to an over-all shorter NBS®, all shows and sales were held on Tuesday. The day dawned sunny and warm and was welcomed by all. The Berkshire show was the largest of the open shows and began with the youngest class of gilts. Judge Kane Austin selected an April

Hog College Gilt Ritter Family Berkshires, S.D. BREEDERS DIGEST

1st Class 1 & Champion Boar Smith Farms, Ill.

1st Class 6 & Champion Gilt Drew & Tate Welch, Mo.

1st Class 2 & Reserve Champion Gilt Smith Farms, Ill.

Trojan Horse daughter shown by AJC for the top spot in class 1. This very young, very fresh, very attractive gilt was very feminine, and very sound with a terrific underline. A familiar face and a familiar pedigree won class 2. Smith Farms and a Juice Box daughter claimed this honor with a gilt who was pretty from front to back and commanded the ring. The blue ribbon in class 3 was awarded to Frank Parrish and Family. This Fresh daughter was a lean, fast-growing, ruggedly constructed gilt. Tanner Calmus and his Barstool daughter were first in class 4. Pretty ladies were the order of the day for Judge Austin and class 4 was no exception. A fancy Black Out daughter, driven by Chase Bowen, was showcased in class 5. Rounding out the gilt show in class 6 were Drew and Tate Welch driving a One More Round daughter that set the bar high for depth of body, muscle and soundness in a pretty package.

As the gilt show concluded and we rolled into the boar show, quality was still the word of the day. Smith Farms took the lead in class 1 of the boar show with a March Juice Box son that put a look, soundness, power and growth in the same package. Brady and Braxton Gill followed with the winner of class 2. This Barstool son walked to the first pen with confidence on plenty of bone and foot. He was big-topped and sound and solid from front to back. Brice Conover drove a Fresh son for the blue ribbon in class 3. This boar had a big outline, a lot of body and was ready to go to work. Rounding out the boar show was another entry from Brice Conover in class 4. This mid-January entry was also sired by Fresh. He was a very complete boar being sound, tall fronted, and deep sided. As the championdrive began, Kane Austin talked about his love for good hogs and especially good Berkshire hogs. He commented on the depth of quality in every class and how important it was to find what would improve your own herd and take it home.

The champion gilt honors went to the winner of class 6, shown by Drew and Tate Welch. She was a One More Round on a Keep Talkin’ daughter. The reserve champion gilt banner went to Smith Farms, from class 2. She was a Juice Box and Whatever It Takes. Smith Farms doubled up on banners, taking the champion boar win with class 1. He was a Juice Box on a Heat Stroke. The reserve champion boar was the winner of class 3 for Brice Conover—a Fresh son and a Game On daughter.

Following the completion of the CPS breed shows, buyers filled the seats for the Berkshire sale, cried by Howard Parrish with Dan Naughton providing commentary on the sale block. Before the sale began, premier sire honors were awarded to ASF7 Fresh 62-2, owned by Brice Conover and Upperhand Genetics.

The reserve premier sire was AJCS7 Trojan Horse 3-1, owned by AJC Berkshires, Adam and Al Conover.

Swine Genetics International paid $4,500 for the Brice Conover boar who won class 4. The second high-selling boar was the Hog College Boar from Kurtis Kolb.

He was purchased by Smith Farms, Alliance Genetics and Kimber Moody for $3,000. Third high-selling boar was Smith Farms’ reserve champion at $2,100 and going to Steven Resler. Fourth high-selling boar at $2,000 was the winner of class 3 for Brady and Braxton Gill. His new home is with Wynn Farms and Top Cut Genetics. There were 13 boars who sold for $17,675 for an average of $1,359.62.

Judge Kane Austin took home the high-selling and champion gilt from Drew and Tate Welch for $2,200. The second-high-selling gilt was the winner of class 3 for Frank Parrish and Family. She was purchased by Wolff Family Genetics for $1,400.

An Exciting Fall & Many Thanks We are thankful for our success and those who believe in our program Thank you Tom Rake and Wisconsin Boar Store for their purchase of our Champion Hereford Boar, Warrior at the National Barrow Show®.

Sledgehammer x Sugar Ray 2019 NBS® Hog College Boar – Stress Negative On Labor Day, I made the trip to Gallatin, Missouri, to lay my eyes on Dennis Croy’s 2019 Hog College Boar. The minute he walked out of the barn I knew he was the next addition I needed to put into my program!! This guy is so athletic and moves with ease. Bearcat is opened up, front to rear, with a big rib cage and center body. He has a big, thick, shapely top that is so hard to find in a stress negative package. A big thank you to Mike and Diana Ingram, Mclayn Musick and Dennis Croy for partnering up with me on Bearcat!

Sugar Ray x Flawless Stress Carrier Sugar Daddy sired the 2019 STC Champion Boar. If you want the show ring presence with the show ring look then you need to use Sugar Daddy!!
