Yorkshire an irene Queen

Choice of a proven generator OR pick of summer bred gilt.

In Awe X Big Step

It’s with a great deal of hesitancy that we offer this 287-8 sow. True generators just don’t “happen”, and not very often, so letting this generator go isn’t all that easy. Especially considering that her upcoming July litter will be sired by INSTANT AWE, the most exciting and high demand stud we’ve ever owned. Recently at the OYE, his littermate brother was the extra popular Reserve Yorkshire. Also, INSTANT AWE is a full sib to: WHY NOT US (Beaman), Grand Overall Gilt MN Youth Expo, Champion York Barrow MN Youth Expo, many time Grand Overall IA Points Circuit and 5th Overall York Barrow NJSA Exposition. I consider this upcoming 8th litter of 287-8 as the most far reaching and most valuable thus far (linebred to her grandson). Quite a statement, taking into account that she’s produced four herdsires BRO, WHISKERS, IN AWE (SGI) and KATMANDU (Thompson Bros) who sired the Champion gilts at BOTH the Exposition and NJSS last summer. 287-8 has directly generated in excess of $90,000 of breeding stock and produced champions at both the State Fair and National show levels. Most importantly for us are the eight direct daughters we have working in our herd. We don’t lease gilts, so no telling how many more champions we could have claimed. Production wise in her first seven litters, averaged 11 born, 10 born alive and 8 weaned with a 115# 21 day wt. Few sows are worth messing with till they die, but this one is.

If you’d prefer to have a first parity female, we’ll offer your choice of any York bred gilt that’s due to farrow this summer. 25 to choose from, due June 4 thru August 13, all bred to INSTANT AWE.
