King Kong x Gunslinger Bred by Brice Conover Stress: Neg

EN: 14-1 Reg#: 130779001

PBG is proud to introduce GODZILLA - STC Champion & $26,000 Top-selling Berkshire Boar from Brice Conover.

GODZILLA is a King Kong x Gunslinger son that resembles his Grandsire SuperFly as much as any boar we have seen and is out of the mom of the 3 tremendous females that Brice sold last fall @ NBS for $28,000.

Cool, extended front end with a massive chest, tons of shape and tracks true and wide as he goes away.

If SuperFly worked for you, we feel GODZILLA offers a great option to deliver like his grandfather. He will be used on many of our best females.

Bottoms Up!

WTX 1 UP x Walk The Dog son Bred by Mauck Show Hogs Stress: Neg

EN:5-3

Reg#: 124669003

BOTTOMS UP! is our WTX 1 Up x “Walk The Dog Son” - $30,000 Top-Selling STC purchase from Mauck Showhogs. Like Perfect Storm, this was a purchase we knew we had to make or we would have to be calling someone else to order a large quantity of semen on him to breed our Berkshire sows.

The entire crew was very passionate in their agreement that BOTTOMS UP! was as unique in putting his gorgeous design together with INCREDIBLE muscle shape and has a huge place we think not only in our Berkshire sows but in a large % of the Berkshire females in the country.

Bottom’s Up sired the 3rd & 4th Overall Berkshire gilts @ Team Purebred Junior Nationals as well as the WPX 5th Overall Berkshire Barrow . He also produced the Reserve Grand Overall Gilt Fayette County (IN) 4H.

EN: 4-8 Reg#: 131828008

Prodigy is our $3000 Youngest class-winner from Gentry Genetics at the 2015 STC. Border Patrol x Mount N Dew which offers a great out-cross option.

Blown way open in a VERY cool show hog package. Tons of top shape, barrel ribbed, deep bodied and look in a very sound package.

Mid-February boar that we strongly believe will be a beast by the fall-breeding season.

Cadillac

Different Strokes x Making History Bred by Larry & Janet White Stress: Neg EN: 14-3 Reg#: 114486003 PBG is very pleased to announce the purchase of Cadillac from Brice Conover. Cadillac is a Different Strokes x Making History son bred by Larry White / Nathan Day who was the $12,500 2012 Fall Classic Champion boar.

The record he has put together has been very impressive as summarized by Brice - “ He has sired 5 National Champions and 7 State Fair Champions this past year. Including the Grand & Reserve Champion Gilts at National Barrow Show where 4 littermate gilts stood 1,2,3, and 5th and sold for $28,000 including one for $13,000.

He sired the Reserve Champion Gilt at San Antonio and many more Champions�.

Cadillac joins the proven sires of National Champions - SuperFly, Shotgun Wedding, & TNT - already housed at PBG along with the young guns, Bottoms Up! Wedding Crasher, So Fly, & Too Fly to continue to allow us to offer an elite Berkshire sire to fit all your needs.

Lots of folks are looking for a great outcross to the Superman, SuperFly line and from our litters here and reports from customers are very positive that Cadillac is a great option.

Shotgun Wedding

Kentucky Lovin’ x Dead Or Alive x What Else's Littermate Bred by Mauck Showhogs Stress Negative EN 23-2 Reg# 118957002

Kentucky Lovin’ x Dead or Alive x What Else's littermate sister from our Mauck bred gilt purchase. Just a mid-February,

the bone this one has already is incredible and as you can see from the video he absolutely floats around the yard. May have the best set to his pasterns we have on any boar of any breed. That draws you in and THEN HE TURNS AND WALKS AWAY - and that is when the Oh My #$^**^&%^ comments start. JUST MASSIVE BONED & MONSTER WIDE with his tail head jacked way up in the air and he just walks and walks and walks. This guy is just flat out a blast to walk in the yard and admire. We believe the Mauck’s have once again created a Berkshire masterpiece and we are thrilled to have him our gallery of Berkshire sires. Shotgun’s list of winners in one season can do the talking for him.

Summer 2014 wins included: WPX Champion , Reserve, & 4th Overall Berkshire Barrows. 5th Overall Berkshire Gilt - 3 Class-winning Gilts.

Team Purebred Nationals - Champion Barrow, 3rd Overall Berkshire Gilt, 4 Class-winning gilts.

Wedding Crasher

Shotgun Wedding x Bar None x Man In Black Bred by Heimer Hampshires EN - 3-1 Reg #12497001 Stress Negative

Like many in attendance at the Indiana State Fair, we thought Lilly Jackson’s Champion Berkshire Gilt who went on to be named 6th Overall was pretty special. When we asked about purchasing her, we found out there was a littermate boar. We quickly got word from those that saw him as a weanling that he was the clear “stud” of the litter. When we talked to Jesse he told us that he thought the boar was pretty special as well and that the litter also included the Champion AOB @ California State Fair and several gilts being retained.

When we saw Wedding Crasher in person we were glad we made the quick trip over as we feel he is absolutely a very unique Berkshire boar. He combines a flawless / athletic design with tons of shape and a powerfully jet-fronted head/neck. Big-legged and comes at you wide & true.

Shotgun Wedding has been rolling up huge wins all summer, winter, & spring and we are thrilled to be able to offer a tremendous son to run alongside his dad.

Full sibs to Wedding Crasher were recently named Champion Berkshire @ Denver & Reserve Gilt @ San Antonio.

Hitched

Wedding Crasher x SuperFly

Bred by Preston & Triston Kennedy Stress: Neg EN: 4-4 Reg#: 130902004

HITCHED is our 2015 WPX purchase from Preston & Triston Kennedy. Wedding Crasher x SuperFly son that we think combines the look and design of Wedding Crasher and the power and stoutness of SuperFly. Shotgun Wedding on Superman / SuperFly has been a deadly combination and we believe HITCHED is another great product of that mating.

Barrow-maker supreme is what we read into HITCHED. Wide, square, moderate, loaded with shape.

30 DAY GUARANTEE SETTLE All semen purchased @ In-Season Full List Price will be guarantee settle IF reported within 30 days of semen ship date. Up to 2 re-breeds will be provided and must be consecutive breeding cycles. If desired to pay FULL IN-SEASON PRICE to obtain the guarantee settle insurance, let us know at time of ordering. All semen must be paid for in full to obtain the replacement semen. There will be NO EXCEPTIONS to the 30-DAY policy.

Heat Stroke

Different Strokes x Hattie (All You Want) Bred By PBG Stress Negative EN18-3 Reg# 113329003

Heat Stroke was a February boar we did not do justice to in the hustle to get the stud started. We did him

a disservice by not showing him at the open house but those that saw him later loved him and used him on some really good females. The most massive Berkshire we offer with a tail set and set to his rear two that is ideal AND it is all wrapped up in a perfectly marked jet-black package.

As we have discussed elsewhere, most of the boars in stud have some great females behind them and he has our best 2 Berkshire sows directly behind him on the bottom side – Hattie – Grand Gilt 2010 InSF & Miss Hathaway the 2008 Team Purebred Foundation Female who is the basis for everything in our Berkshire program.

Pictured is Trenton Jenning’s 2015 Indiana State Fair 4H Class-winning gilt.

Lift Off

SuperFly x Shotgun Wedding

Bred by PBG Stress Negative EN 4-4 Reg# 130902004 PBG is proud to introduce Lift Off our home-raised son of SuperFly on the 6th Overall Gilt @ 2014 Indiana State Fair that we purchased for $20,000 from Heimer Hampshires. Two powerhouse parents sit behind this guy and put SuperFly and Shotgun Wedding together in the first generation. It gets even more fun when you go back to the next generation and see Superman, Miss Hathaway and Heimer’s famous Man In Black sow that has produced numerous champions in her 1st 2 litters.

We believe Lift Off will fit a large majority of Berkshire females as he brings power, mass, extension, and look in a big massive package. Where we think it gets really fun is when you see the Shotgun Wedding impeccable rear leg structure laid under him with a pastern set that is not very easy to find in the Berkshire breed.

Lift Off ’s littermate gilt was shown by the Norris girls to Reserve Champion Gilt honors at the Team Purebred Junior Nationals.

We have great faith that Lift Off can cut a wide path in the Berkshire showring!

So Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand- Superman’s Dam) Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires Stress: Negative EN: 6-3 Reg#: 120804003 So Fly is our SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Superman’s dam - 2011 Houston Champ) son from Jones & Bennett Berkshires. So Fly combines the best of all of Superman, SuperBad, SuperFly & Big Gulp.

Massively wide like all Superman’s but what makes him very unique is the extension and look that he brings. So Fly is the TOTAL PACKAGE putting together the best of many of his ancestors as we have seen.

It has been very fun to see how good things have gotten as we have lined up Superman genetics. Predictability out of this line is growing with each generation. Many have asked where to go to replace SuperFly. SO FLY is our strong recommendation!

SO FLY SIRES CHAMPION BERKSHIRE BARROW HOUSTON, 2nd PLACE TO THE CHAMPION, CLASS WINNER @ SAN ANTONIO & 2 DISTRICT CHAMPIONS IN OKLAHOMA!!!

Too Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand - Superman’s Dam) Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires Stress: Negative EN: 6-7 Reg#: 120804007 Too Fly is our SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Superman’s dam - 2011 Houston Champ) son from Jones & Bennett Berkshires. Too Fly is the boar most like his Grandfather Superman as far as being as wide as you would ever want to make one but the best part is he has the best hip laid in him of any Superman son we have seen. Monster topped, monster ribbed, blown way open and can go & go & go.

It has been very fun to see how good things have gotten as we have lined up Superman genetics. Predictability out of this line is growing with each generation.

Too Fly has had a very good summer producing the $6750 Class-winning boar @ STC and the Champion Berkshire Barrow @ the Ohio State Fair 4H Show

Stone Cold

Rush Hour x Heartbreak Bred by Shaffer’s EN 22-3 Reg #145809003

Stone Cold was our $16,000 Fall Classic Top-selling Chester White purchase from Shaffer’s. We thought Stone Cold combined stoutness of bone, width, mass, and structural correctness as well as any Chester White boar we had seen in a long time and believe he can have a huge impact in the Chester breed. Out of a Rush Hour on a Heartbreak daughter - he offers a great out cross option the vast majority of Chester White females.

Stone Cold has been very well received and we appreciate all the positive comments.

Shiftin’ Gears

Changing Lanes x Classic Steel Bred by Mench Showpigs EN - 10-1 Reg # 145165001

PBG is very proud to introduce Shiftin’ Gears our Changing Lanes son - Private Treaty purchase from Mench breeders of Changing Lanes. We think we have filled our Chester slot with an awesome son of the Chester sire that has been lighting it up: Grand Overall Barrow Arizona National, Champion Gilt American Royal, Champion & Reserve Chester @ NAILE, Champion Mature Chester Gilt @ Duncan.

Shiftin’ Gears is Changing Lanes on littermate sister to the dam of the NAILE Champion.

Very extended and cool with plenty of power in a SOUND package that REACHES and GRABS on his rear 2.

Shiftin’ Gears has grown into a very impressive mature boar. We have great faith in him and think he can make an awesome impact in the Chester breed.

Shiftin Gears sired the 2015 WPX Champion Boar.

Class Act

Slats x Challenger Bred by Norman Bros & Ripberger Stress: Negative EN: 15-8 Reg#: 362258008

We are very pleased to introduce CLASS ACT our $30,000 STC Champion Duroc Boar purchased from Norman Bros & Ripberger. Slats x Challenger his dam is the $18,000 2014 STC Gilt purchased by the Normans.

CLASS ACT offers power, look and design in a very impressive package. What we believe sets CLASS ACT apart from the rest is the extreme flexibility and reach on his rear 2. His reach forward and his extension behind his hip is as good as we have seen.

From an extremely deep litter, we think CLASS ACT offers a great opportunity to continue to make better Durocs!!!

Spitting Image

PSSS BR549 x Big Rigg Bred by Day, Guyer, Preston Stress: Negative

EN: 19-2 Reg#: 363594002

SPITTING IMAGE is our $30,000 STC Reserve Champion purchase from Day, Guyer,& Preston. SPITTING IMAGE is a PSSS BR549 x Bigg Rigg son and it the product via cloning the 2014 Denver Grand Overall Barrow.

Everyone knows how important that "first look" is in today's showring and we think SPITTING IMAGE comes at you with one of the more powerful but clean front ends we have seen and carries his head high with a tremendous showring presence. Feet and legs are square and true and can get out and go all day. Tons of shape and power, we think he is the total package to make killer showpigs.

If you are walking behind a barrow that looks like SPITTING IMAGE, you are very likely going to be in the running for BIG BANNERS as SPITTING IMAGE's clone-mate proved by being named the 4th Overall Barrow (Reserve Duroc) @ WPX & NJSS

LIGHTS OUT ranks WAY up on our list of the Durocs we have seen in a while. Show Hog Look, Power, Structure, Wheels - ALL AWESOME... - Comes at you like a beast.

LIGHTS OUT’s dam is the $27,000 2013 NJSA WPX Reserve Grand Overall Gilt shown by the Caldwell family. Dam’s littermate was the 2013 NJSS Grand Overall Barrow shown by the Guyer family.

Lights Out comes from a tremendous litter with his littermate barrow winning Reserve Grand Overall @ American Royal, a littermate gilt selling privately for $7500 & Mike retaining several gilts. The purple behind this guy continued this spring as his dam produced the Reserve Grand Overall Gilt @ OYE. Tremendous boar - Incredible genetics behind him - Awesome litter. We think LIGHTS OUT has a truly great shot to make a huge impact.

Beyond

Bone Thug x Creature (Creature 205's Littermate Sister)

Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative "BEYOND" is our Bone Thug x Creature (Creature 205's littermate) purchase from Steve Cobb & Family. The Thug son of the $500,000 3/4 interest Thug - Collector pair purchased privately from the Cobbs.

The best Thug son we have ever seen. Beyond what we thought was possible in combining power, mass, rib, body, bone, structure, and athleticism. Like nothing we have seen ever!!! Beyond & Visionary have us as excited as ever about what is possible in breeding showhogs.

Beyond has had an incredible year highlighted by WPX Grand Crossbred Barrow, Reserve Grand Overall California State Fair ,WPX 5th Overall Division 1 Barrow.

In addition he has sired numerous Grand Overalls @ Jackpots and County Fairs across the country.

Beyond seems to be a chameleon with the color he is throwing as he seems to strongly follow the sow. It looks like he will be a great option to make those “appearing� barrows for the Southwest!!!

Visionary

Bone Collector x Super Monster Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative Visionary is the Bone Collector x Super Monster son of the $500,000 3/4 interest pair of boars purchased from Steve Cobb & Family. When he walked out of the Cobb's boar barn the first thing that hit us was his tree-trunk back legs that truly look fake. Then you see his hip which is the longest and best hip and makes him one of the most athletic boars we have seen out of Collector or Thug. Then you see his barrel rib and absolutely massive flank. Then the real topper is one of the most uniquely-powerful but extended head/necks you can imagine.

Visionary has been on an absolute terror this summer siring the Grand Overall Gilt @ Indiana 4H, the Reserve Cross Gilt as well as 8 class-winners; Grand Overall Gilt Illinois 4H, Grand Commercial Gilt Ohio 4H, Champion Cross & 3rd Overall (Top-placing Gilt) Michigan Livestock Expo. At WPX he sired the Champion Gilt, Reserve Champion Gilt, & 5th Overall Gilt in Division 1 & Champion & 3rd Overall Gilt Division 2 as well as the 4th Overall Div 2 barrow. Champion White AOB Barrow California State Fair He has sired several Grand Overalls @ Jackpot & County Fairs.

In addition to those winnings, he has placed over 20 boars in stud around the country. Truly an incredible first crop of sons & daughters!!! Visionary has carried on his father’s legacy of stamping showpigs that have a naturally high head carriage and a look-at-me strut that is critical in the showring. Like Beyond, Visionary will generally follow the color of the sow which could make some very cool “appearing” showpigs.

Cartel

Visionary x Outta Hand 235 Bred by Weisinger Farms Stress: Negative

CARTEL is our Visionary x Outta Hand 235 purchase from Weisinger Farms.

We read Visionary all over this guy. Monster legs, huge deep rib and flank, and an ideal hip and rear leg design.

This guy just flat out floats across the yard and can go all day long. Impeccable structure laid under him. Add to that his dad’s giraffe neck and naturally high head carriage on his moderate build and we think - like his dad - that he is an great example of where the next generation is headed.

Exclusive

Visionary x Yetti Bred by Weisinger Farms Stress: Negative EXCLUSIVE - Visionary x Yetti son from Weisinger. Those that have seen this January son of Visionary have commented to the Weisingers that he is certainly in rarified air of truly unique breeding pieces.

When you see EXCLUSIVE you know instantly he is a Visionary as he bring his dad’s structure, unreal extension, and massive legs on an ideal frame size. What sets him apart in our minds is that he is made as wide and true as you could want and has incredible mass and top shape that carries back into a HUGE stifle.

Outlier

Bone Thug x Shoot Em Bred by Jeff Ramsey & Family Stress: Negative OUTLIER - The Thug son that is COMPLETELY different than any we have ever seen. Bone Thug x Shoot "Em x (Big Step x Fatal) son bred by Jeff Ramsey & Family.

Combines monster bone, excellent flexibility, angles at every corner that you dream for, huge top and rump shape & tops it all off with one of the most impressive head and neck designs we have seen.

The term we think best describes Outlier is simply- HE IS A MAN. Just has a look and presence that endures any time frame. Outlier would be impressive no matter the decade. When you can put this much mass, rib, top shape and look into this kind of package - you just have to admire it. There are very few females we would not recommend Outlier to be a great fit.

Outlier is off to a tremendous start including the Reserve Middleweight Cross @ San Antonio, Reserve Lightweight Hampshire @ Houston, Reserve Heavyweight Cross @ Houston, 3rd Heavy Class Cross @ Houston, Grand Overall Gilt Northwest (Woodward) District OK, Grand Overall Western Bonanza, Champion Hampshire Oklahoma Circuit, Grand Overall Red Wave Classic (CA) Grand Overall OBK Jackpot (CA).

Outlier has continued his great run this summer with several Jackpot & County Grand Overalls.

Walks Alone

Droppin’’ Swag x Shoot “Em (Outlier’s Dam) Bred by Ramsey Showpigs Stress Negative PBG is very proud to introduce “WALKS ALONE”. Bred by Ramsey Showpigs (breeders of Outlier) this beast is Droppin’’’ Swag on Outlier’s mother.

Truly massive everywhere you study him - MONSTER legged - HUGE Stifle -HUGE ditched top laid in him - SQUARE and great hocked coming and going - AND he can handle it.

We get lots of calls looking for outcross options to the Bone Collector, Bone Thug line and we feel we have added an incredible option who provides a complete outcross.

Brings the very popular Watje-blue color in as massive a package as we have seen. This guy ranks way up on our list of boars in the stud and will be seeing use on some of our most elite females.

Side Show

Outlier x Bone Collector Bred by Lane Mai Stress: Negative

PBG is proud to introduce SIDE SHOW our Outlier x Bone Collector WPX purchase from Lane Mai. If you saw SIDE SHOW at WPX we’re pretty sure you will remember him and think you will agree he is definitely one very unique breeding piece. Mix Outlier - who stamps them uphill and freaky-necked on Bone Collector who stamped his off-spring with an incredible show-ring presence, and it is no accident SIDE SHOW looks just as he does.

Everyone loves the up-headed look and the ones that do it naturally are hard to ignore when they hit the ring. We are extremely confident SIDE SHOW offspring will bring a natural look-at-me style that can deliver the BIG BANNERS.

Top Shelf

Outlier x Supermonster Bred by Hoge Livestock Stress: Negative PBG is very proud to introduce TOP SHELF, our Stress Negative Outlier x Super Monster x Spud purchase from Hoge Livestock. Outlier continues his tremendous run and we are thrilled to get a beast of a son to stand beside his dad. Take Outlier’s look, structure, and design and add even more extension to his front third by mixing in the Super Monster bloodlines and we think the result is just a blast to study. Extreme in the mass and crispness of his top shape. Like we have said when describing Outlier, TOP SHELF is just a MAN and would be a great one in any decade you wanted to land him.

Great genetics lay on the bottom side of the pedigree as the Super Monster x Spud dam of TOP SHELF is a littermate to the dam of Colt 45. From a very deep litter which includes 2 extremely impressive gilts which adds to the predictability that TOP SHELF will breed true to his phenotype.

Ice Man

Creature 63-11 x Bear Bred by Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Carrier ICE MAN is our $60,000 Maverick full-sib On-Line purchase from Steve Cobb & Family. Ice-Man combines cool & power with rib, top-shape and muscle and comes backed by one of Cobb’s premier females (pictured).

"Showhog look" may be hard to define but you know it when you see it and we think ICE MAN has it in spades - one cool cat. Visitors come ready to be impressed by the Thug & Collector pair from Cobbs but many have commented they are surprised how impressive Ice Man ( and his littermate Top Gun) are. Power and style combined in an incredible package. SHOWHOG, SHOWHOG, SHOWHOG the best way we know to describe him.

Ice Man is siring like he looks being massive topped with a huge rib cage and blown way open.

Ice Man has had a very good summer including the WPX 3rd Overall Div 1 Gilt.

www.PremiumBlendGenetics.com

Top Gun

Creature 63-11 x Bear Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Carrier TOP GUN is our $50,000 Maverick full-sib On-Line purchase from Steve Cobb & Family.

When you see his mom (pictured) you feel really good that Top Gun is bred to look like this and will pass his look along to his off-spring. Like his littermate ICE MAN, TOP GUN combines cool & power with rib, top-shape and muscle. "Showhog look" may be hard to define but you know it when you see it and we think TOP GUN & ICE MAN have it in spades - a pair of very cool cats.

Probably the most flexible of the pair. Steve Cobb commented as they loaded him onto our trailer that he thinks TOP GUN may have as much to offer to breed to their females as any of the 3 Maverick full-sibs that were auctioned. They backed that up by purchasing back interest in both full-sibs to breed some of their best to them.

Top Gun babies are big backed, big middled and stout.

Ballistic

Gunsmoke x Nuke Bred by Jackson Showpigs Stress: Carrier PBG is very proud to introduce BALLISTIC our Gunsmoke x Nuke son purchased from Jackson Showpigs.

MASSIVE legged, big soft rib, comes and goes true and square with a HUGE stifle, and tons of shape.

Top it off with a powerful but extended head/neck and tie it all together in a moderate package and we think he has a shot to throw some tremendous show prospects that can hang banners Thanks to the Jackson Family for working with us to bring BALLISTIC to PBG.

Beyond x Shockwave Bred by JD Showpigs Stress Negative

PBG is proud to introduce INFINITY. Beyond x Shockwave son from JD Showpigs.

Beyond's structure and build in a more moderate package. Power, mass, shape all laid on a structure that is ideal.

Franchise

Creature 205 x Supermonster Creature x Bear x Supermonster x Vintage X Supermonster x Vintage x Space Monkey Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress Negative Franchise is our Creature x Bear x Supermonster on a Supermonster x Vintage son bred by & owned with Steve Cobb & Family. Franchise’s structure is impeccable, he has the classic Supermonster look to his front end, and he is loaded with soft pliable muscle, has monster back feet with pasterns way up off the ground.

We agree with many customers who have commented they don’t even need to see a picture of the boar, the pedigree and the picture of the sow is enough to know FRANCHISE better be in serious consideration for your breeding list. BUT we have the pleasure of getting to see the boar and he is one of the most impressively built hogs we have seen.

Franchise babies have been very well received and are getting it done in the showring as he produced the Grand & $9500 Cross Gilt @ the SWTC (Belton), placing 2 gilts in the San Angelo CTBR sale., OYE Sale of Stars gilt selling for $7000 to Rockin’ G, & 2nd place barrow NWSS.

Ghetto Cowboy

Bone Thug x No Fare x Daytripper (Grimm Yorkshire) Bred by Goss Showpigs Purchased from Goss & Gustafson Farms Stress: Negative

PBG is very proud to introduce GHETTO

COWBOY- Bone Thug x No Fare bred by Goss Livestock & purchased from Goss & Gustafson Farms. We had been talking to the Goss Family about the pair of Bone Thug sons they had out of littermate No Fare sows. When we lost Thug we knew we had to get this pair snapped up and we are thrilled we did.

Ghetto Cowboy is off to a great start as he sired the Reserve Grand Overall Barrow @ Ft. Worth Stock Show & Rodeo; Reserve Grand Barrow Florida State Fair; and Kenninger’s $11,000 Belton Boar.

If you like what Thug did, we still recommend Ghetto to sire offspring the most like his dad.

Change Up

Changer x (Grimm’s Gem x Head On) - Full Strut’s Dam Bred by Heimer Hampshires Stress: Negative Change Up is backed by one heck of a cool pedigree. Point Maker x Swagger on Full Strut’s momma. That is what got us interested in him but then when we went and looked at the boars, we became very interested!

Change Up brings an awesome hip and rear leg design to a very powerful, soft and moderate package.

This guy is just flat REALLY GOOD everywhere and it is very hard to put a hole in him ANYWHERE. He wasn’t anywhere near the most expensive boar we purchased last summer and his semen is priced way below others because of that.

One of our primary objectives all spring & summer was to lay in boars that we think would complement the Collector / Thug line and we think Change Up does that very, very well.

Change Up sired Class-winning Crossbred Barrow @ the Indiana State Fair.

Smoke Show

Monster Stick x WarFare x Square Deal Bred by & Owned with Goss Showpigs Stress Carrier

From the Dam & Grandam that brought us Bone Thug, PBG is proud to introduce our latest addition to the Exotic

line-up. Monster Stick x Warfare x Square Deal. Bred by Goss Showpigs. When the Goss’s hesitated in how they would rank Thug vs Smoke we knew we better pull the trigger - real fast.

Same square design as Thug in a very “Showy” package.. Monster legged, huge stifle, tail set way up in the air!!! The most frequent question we got on Smoke was - “What color will he throw?”

On the all important color question it seems to be he will throw color similar to a chrome/belted boar on white crosses with belted, blues and whites reported on half Yorks.

Smoke Show has started with a 2nd place & Premium Sale Yorkshire Barrow @ San Antonio & the Champion Yorkshire Barrow @ Northwest (Woodward) District(OK), Champion York @ NM State Fair, Reserve Grand Central TX Jackpot, Reserve Light Cross KS Stat Fair, 3rd in class Yorkshire Barrow @ OYE & 2nd in class to Reserve Grand York @ San Antonio.

Massive everywhere with a huge crisp top and loads of shape sitting on monster legs. Freak on a leash but complete and can handle it.

Hitman had a very good run on the circuits this summer.

Thug Nation

Bone Thug x Solid Monster Bred by & Owned with Goss Livestock Stress: Negative THUG NATION - Bone Thug x Solid Monster son bred by Goss Livestock that we and the Goss Family are extremely excited about. ALL of the Goss family are unanimous in their belief that this is the very best boar prospect they have produced. With the results Thug has put up thru the winter, spring, summer, and now into the fall, we believe THUG NATION joins a very elite set of Thug sons already in place @ PBG to keep it rolling well into the future.

Thug power and mass blown way open front and rear in an incredibly powerful but extended package. Gorgeous design to his angles and a very correct hip design. What we think makes THUG NATION most unique is the flexibility and reach and impeccable set to his pasterns that he brings along with all of his power.

We greatly appreciate the Goss family for their dedication to making them better and better and working with us to bring THUG NATION to PBG.

Assassin

Bone Thug x Claim To Fame Bred by & Owned with Weisinger Farms Stress: Negative We were absolutely thrilled to be able to lay in the “Weisinger Gang of 4” Bone Thug sons who we have named Assassin, Hired Gun, Hit Man, & Sniper.

ASSASSIN is the Bone Thug x Claim To Fame son who comes from one of the Premier litters of 2014. First you have the Denton Sanders gilt who was the Champion Crossbred Points Gilt on the Iowa Circuit as well as 5th Overall Division 2 @ WPX. Next you have Carter Hoge’s gilt who was 3rd Overall Division 3 WPX as well as picking up Grand Overall titles in Illinois. Finally we have Sniper - his brother who is also in stud @ PBG. The rear leg design, set to his pasterns, and ability to reach up to his sheath and push off way behind his stifle is what sets Assassin apart in our eyes. To do that with tons of body, mass, & rib makes him a true breeding piece in our opinion Assassin has produced several overall & top-5 winners this spring & summer.

Sniper

Bone Thug x Claim To Fame Bred by & Owned with Weisinger Farms Stress: Negative We were absolutely thrilled to be able to lay in the "Weisinger Gang of 4" Bone Thug sons who we have named Assassin, Hired Gun, Hit Man, & Sniper.

Sniper is the Bone Thug x Claim To Fame son who comes from one of the Premier litters of 2014.

First you have the Denton Sanders gilt who was the Champion Crossbred Points Gilt on the Iowa Circuit as well as 5th Overall Division 2 @ WPX. Next you have Carter Hoge’s gilt who was 3rd Overall Division 3 WPX as well as picking up Grand Overall titles in Illinois. Finally we have Assassin - his brother who is also in stud @ PBG. Sniper is the muscle hog of the gang as he has as much top shape as any Thug we have seen.

Carrier-like muscle in a negative package. Like his littermate Assassin he brings a tremendous set of wheels with tons of reach and flex to his hocks. If you are looking for a Thug son to add shape, there is no doubt we will recommend Sniper as a great option.

Snap Back

Top Hat x Super Monster Bred by Kent McLemore Stress: Negative SNAP BACK - our 2014 $17,000 Class-winning Crossbred Classic purchase from Kent McLemore. We feel we have been able to lay in several great outcross options to breed to the “Bone” females that are filling breeding pens and very much feel Snap Back provides another tremendous choice. Being a Top Hat x Super Monster makes Snap Back about as outcross to the Hillbilly Bone lines as you can get.

We think Snap Back bares a very strong resemblance to his maternal grandsire but in a more moderate and powerful package. Snap Back definitely brings the patented Super Monster structure and athleticism that Super Monster has been able to transmit to champions across the country year after year.

We absolutely LOVE Snap Back for those power gilts to let their offspring handle those 30 to 45 minute drives it can take to win at the big time shows.

The Super Monster line has already proven to be a great match-up on the “Bones” with Visionary - Bone Collector x Super Monster - being a prime example of how lethal that combo can be.

Fortune X No Fare Bred by & Owned with Goss Livestock Stress Negative

TRUST FUND is our Fortune x No Fare son bred by & owned with Goss Livestock.

TRUST FUND's mother is the mother of the 2013 American Royal Reserve Grand Barrow shown by the Goss family.

Stout, wide, extended, flexible and as described by Blake Goss : "Sound as a 9 legged cat" which he explains means he is so sound you will never catch him.

As you may have noticed on many of the new boars, their littermates are going out and endorsing their quality by getting it done in the ring. That is true again with Trust Fund as the Goss family grabbed Reserve Grand Gilt honors @ Oklahoma State Fair with a litter-

OFF THE CHARTS' dam was the Hoge & Walters gilt that stood 2nd in Division 3 @ the 2014 WPX. Huge topped, big-legged, blown open with a powerful but extended head & neck. We believe OFF THE CHARTS offers a great out cross option if you need to mass them up in a soft, pliable package.

January may not be the most financially viable time to lay in a Hampshire but when a great one is available, we think it is always the right time.

Blown way open on both ends, fits together perfectly, gets out and goes and goes. Freak that can handle it is the best way we heard him described and we agree 100% with that description.

One of the most popular boars we show - HayMaker has been a hit with visitors.

Anarchy continues Mayhems ability to add structure and look in a massive Hampshire package. Anarchy is off to a great start siring the Grand Overall Gilt @ the recent San Antonio Livestock Show & Rodeo.

Incredible sow power laid into this one as the dam is mother of Home Cookin' @ Triple B . She is Homemade 45-1 x Homegrown x (Unreal x Black Oak) with her grandma being a littermate to Crouch’s Champion WPX gilt, her great-grandmother is Cook's Jane sow & her great-great grandmother is Mark Long's famous Black Oak sow.

Great Hampshire boar, out of a great Hampshire sow, a great Hampshire sire and from a firm that is on fire making great Hampshire breeding stock. We are very confident he can make Hampshires better.

She is Homemade 45-1 x Homegrown x (Unreal x Black Oak) with her grandma being a littermate to Crouch’s Champion WPX gilt, her great-grandmother is Cook’s Jane sow & her great-great grandmother is Mark Long’s famous Black Oak sow.

Anarchy & Madness both have the Mayhem structural correctness his off-spring are known for.

Madness is the more massive-legged blown apart of the pair.

We added Madness to PBG for a simple reason, we want to breed sows to him and we think he can help Hampshires make progress for our customers as well.

Madness sires the Champion Hampshire Barrow Michigan Livestock Expo as well as a Class-winning Barrow & Gilt @ the Indiana State Fair.

Outlook x Thor

Dam is littermate to That Guy and Apollo Bred by Vickrey Showpigs EN 9-8 Reg# 114775008

If you are in the hunt for a Landrace to make them stout, moderate and showy, we

are extremely confident BAD CAT is the best option we have seen for a long time.

MASSIVE topped , MASSIVE chest, MASSIVE as he travels away from you and yet his feet and legs are awesome and can motor all day long. This one truly shocks people when we walk him out.

Similar to the statement we made when we got Superman - If his babies take after their dad, you are going to be in the hunt.

We thought he could be an absolute terror in the Landrace breed - and that is proving to be the case.

Bad Cat got off to an awesome start 2013 winter / & 2014spring with Champion Barrow NJSA Western Regional, Greg & Susan Gonzalez’s Grand Overall Club Pig @ The Western All Breeds Show.

BAD CAT continues his domination of the Landrace Showring with Champion & 5th Overall Barrow & Champion Gilt @ WPX; Champion & Reserve Gilt @ NJSS & Reserve, 4th, & 5th Overall Barrow @ NJSS.

Heat Wave x Lockdown Bred by Jeff & Margaret Wingo Stress: Negative EN: 2-5 Reg#: 43622005 Perfect Storm is our $35,000 STC Poland China boar purchase with the Frank Sandall family-from Jeff & Margaret Wingo. With the private treaty purchase of Titleist - our negative Dang Good Hog son from the Sandalls we had decided we would only be interested in a Poland boar if we found one that was the most monster boned one we had seen.

We have never seen front toes this wide and square on a Poland and not on very many of any breed. Then we see the set to his front and rear pasterns and they are PERFECT. Then we see he is Stress Negative. Then we see him roll down the aisle in an incredibly athletic package. You will rarely see a Poland that reaches and grabs the ground with his rear pasterns like Perfect Storm. Then we see his rib, body & mass. Then we see his awesome top and rump shape. Then we see he is 3/4 outcross to PSSS Nom Nom Nom and an outcross to the Pretty Good Hog / Dang Good Hog / Done Deal lines and it hit us all as the PERFECT STORM. With his first season just wrapping up it is clear - Perfect Storm has helped take Poland Chinas to a whole new level.

Reports have been very, very good on Forecast so far. Making them monster stout. Forecast was a very young boar when we purchased him and semen was limited early and he has had a tremendous 1st season given the number of females covered.

Forecast sired Angel Boyd’s Reserve Champion Gilt Indiana State Fair 4H show. He also sired Hayden Sandall’s Class-winning gilt @ Team Purebred Junior Nationals and pulled off a sweep @ Randolph Co (IN) with Grand Overall Barrow, Grand Overall Gilt with a 3rd littermate being named 5th Overall Gilt.

Radioactive

Like No Other x Double Feature Bred by Lowdermilk & Hege Stress Carrier EN 4-1 Reg#152303001

RADIOACTIVE is our $10,000 Like No Other x Double Feature purchase from Lowdermilk & Hege.

Huge boned. Huge and powerful out of his blade. Huge ribbed. Huge topped. Dead square on all 4 corners. We think as square a rump as we have seen in a Spot boar with a tail head that is high as you can put one. We aren't going to profess to be masters of the Spot breed by any stretch but we certainly study them enough to believe that this is one UNIQUE Spot boar.

RadioActive has the ability to grab banners and make Spots better as his offspring are so structurally correct and yet have a very cool show-ring look.

Radioactive continued another great year with 3rd Overall Spot Gilt WPX, 5th Overall Spot Gilt Team Purebred Nationals, Reserve Div 2 Indiana State Fair, & Grand Overall Gilt Tippecanoe County (IN)

Cold Turkey

Smokey x Lost In The Hype Bred by CKL Livestock Stress: Carrier EN: 31-2 Reg#: 157644002 Cold Turkey is our $10,000 STC Reserve Champion Spot boar purchase from Listens. Smokey 5-1 on a Lost In The Hype dam.

Cold Turkey, like his sire Smokey, offers a great outcross option that we think combines look, flexibility, shape, and structure in a tremendous package. Brings a very unique extended but powerful head and neck carriage.

If you need to put structure and flexibility back into your Spots, we believe Cold Turkey can get it done.

Smokey

Splash x Fossil Bred by CKL Livestock Stress: Carrier EN: 5-1 Reg#: 154088001 Smokey has come to PBG as a mature and proven boar from CKL Livestock.

Smokey's track record so far for Listens on 5 sows is very impressive and includes the Grand Overall Gilt in the T.P. Junior show who sold in the Open Show Sale for a Spot Record of $23,000, Cold Turkey - the $10,000 Reserve Champion STC boar that we purchased & Cold Turkey's littermate that was the $2250 3rd top-selling gilt @ WPX. An outcross to a large percentage of the Spot females that makes them very good.

We are thrilled to have him in stud.

Ferrari

HRR 11 Lightning 1-3 x MG Dozer 2-8 Bred by Doug Loof EN: 15-2 Reg # 272211

FERRARI was our $4000 private-treaty purchase from Doug Loof. He is out of HRR11 Lightning 11-3 and the Reserve Gilt @ the 2012 Indiana State Fair Open show sired by MG Dozer 2-8.

Our goal is to offer the most elite genetics available in every breed and we are as confident that FERRARI fits that bill as any boar in stud. If he does not have a significant impact to help continue the improvement of the Tamworth breed, we will be very surprised. We purchased Ferrari very late in the season and he is very young but it has been a blast to see visitor’s faces when we roll him out. His back legs look like a FLUFFY show steer ready for the grand drive. Huge topped, cool fronted, huge ribbed, and perfect Tamworth breed characteristics.

Very unique and interesting breeding piece.

Ferrari continued his great run 2015 summer/fall with Champion & Reserve Gilts and Reserve Barrow @ Indiana State Fair 4H. He also sired the Reserve & 5th Overall Barrow & 5th Overall Gilt @ T.P. Nationals.

Red Alert

Junksberry x Junk N The Trunk Bred by Chris Lanham & Family Stress: EN: 29-2 Reg#: 150980 PBG is very proud to introduce RED ALERT! . Bred by Chris Lanham, RED ALERT is a Junksberry x Junk N The Trunk son. This makes RED ALERT! An outcross to many of the popular Hereford sires such as Yellow Jacket, Rusty Gold, Cotton Wood, Sycamore, Frostbite, Hickory, Fireman, Red Wave & Better Be Ready & his sons.

Monster legged, blown open with a barrel rib, excellent structure, and a very cool - stout , extended and clean head and neck. Wrap that all in an ideal Hereford marked package that is bred in and we think he can keep the Hereford train rolling forward at full speed.

Red Alert’s first offspring are off to a great start including the Champion Hereford @ TP Mid-South Regional, & the Champion Barrow & Reserve Gilt Weanlings @ Duncan. Red Alert added another very nice win with Reserve Overall Gilt Morgan Co (IN) 4H .

Invite Only

Shoot The Moon x WOW

Bred by Brandon Ogle & Ed Meers Stress: Negative EN:4-2 Reg#: 556795002 Invite Only is our Shoot The Moon x WOW son from Eddy Meers & Brandon Ogle. Saying you project a boar as a gilt sire used to be the kiss of death. With the NJSA program in place, great Yorkshire gilts are worth their weight in gold. SO, we will say proudly that we think Invite Only has big-time show-gilt maker written all over him.

The term “tree-trunk legs� gets thrown around a bunch but this boar has just enormous legs. Massive everywhere you study him yet with a gorgeous design. His hip design, the angles of his rear joints and the set to his pasterns are ideal.

Invite Only can make Yorkshires better by correcting their structure and fixing pastern issues.

As it seems with most boars in stud, White Rhino has an incredible female behind him as his mother was the $16,000 Reserve Grand Overall Gilt @ the 2013 Indiana State Fair 4-H show .

White Rhino had a very good summer including the Grand Yorkshire Female @ the STC Open Show and the

Jackson Family’s Crossbred gilt that won multiple Grand Overall and top 5’s on the IJSC.

The Godfather x Untouchable Bred by Malcolm Farms Stress: Negative EN: 10-1 Reg#: 570808001 Made Man is our $21,000 2015 WPX purchase from Malcolm Farms. The Godfather on an Untouchable dam, Made Man is built like a barrow-making machine.

Busted way open coming at you, moderate in his frame size, with an outstanding hip and rear leg design, with a massive top and huge stifle. We think Made Man has a major place to help Yorkshires in making them truer behind hip to ground We believe if you walk behind a barrow that looks like Made Man, you will be in for a fun run.

Premonition

The Prophet x Untouchable ( $36,000 Gilt) Bred by PBG & Sandall Show Pigs Stress: Negative EN: 61-3 Reg#: 567767003 PREMONITION is the product of mating The Prophet to the $36,000 Record-selling Untouchable daughter owned with Sandall Showpigs.

The Prophet has been hitting home runs with the Grand Overall Barrow NJSS & the WPX Reserve Overall Gilt (Champion York). We believe PREMONITION continues that trend and is one of the most unique Yorkshire boars we have seen.

Busted way open, with a monster top, in a moderate package, with a hip and rear leg that is ideal along with the patented Prophet head & neck carriage.

We are very excited to roll him out for tours and the Open Houses.

The Prophet

Slow Ride x Eclipse Bred by RW Genetics Stress: Neg

EN:4-1

Reg#: 558970001

THE PROPHET, our $130,000 Slow Ride on Eclipse son purchased from RW Genetics at the 2014 STC. THE PROPHET has been extremely popular with visitors and we are as confident that he will be a BANNER-GRABBING sire as any we have put in stud.

Some boars just seem to have an IT factor and we think THE PROPHET definitely falls into that category. THE PROPHET puts freak and complete together about as well as we have seen it done and are thrilled to have him in stud @ PBG. Combine his design with an outcross pedigree that provides an option for a large number of the elite Yorkshire females across the country.

The Prophet has had a great summer including the Grand Overall Barrow NJSS, the Reserve Grand Overall Gilt WPX, the 4th Overall Div 1 & 5th Overall Div 2 Barrows @ WPX.
