Premium Blend Genetics Spring 2019 Boar Catalog

SPRING 2018

Thank you for taking a look at our Spring 2019 Boar Book. We appreciate every purchase of semen, breeding stock, & showpig prospects as we know the significant financial investment involved but also the commitment of time that is put into each project. We understand that every order we send out is the start of a dream and we do our very best to do our part to make that dream come true.

We are extremely grateful to our customers for having faith in our sires and putting them in their best females; to the exhibitors of PBG-sired projects for doing the hard work it takes to present them at their very best; and to all of our boar suppliers over the years who have trusted us to care for and get their sires used on elite females. It takes all 3 of those working together to make it all work and we greatly appreciate it!!! We will continue to work to earn your business by providing the most elite genetics possible and by treating each customer a little better than we would expect to be treated.

It has been a very busy time putting together a spring class of 17 exciting new sires to offer to our customers. Without question the deepest set of new boars we have ever put in stud.

Thank You Ted, Regina, Mitchell Laird; Nolan & Kari Laird; Jacob & Elizabeth Laird; Adam & Morgan Jarman; & Garrett Cole To be successful at the highest levels it takes focus not only in the ring but in the entire process from the breeder’s selection of sires to breed to the correct females, the exhibitors, families and advisers countless hours and miles spent searching for the best prospects, through hundreds of ours spent in the barn feeding, washing, cleaning & walking. Every step must be done with extreme focus by everyone involved to attain the goal of a huge banner. However, the ultimate positive outcome of this effort and drive to be the best is the translation of this same approach to other phases of life. Hard work and dedication are the secret to success in any endeavor and we can think of no better place to teach those life skills than in the barn!!!

Square Deal x Visionary x Bear Bred by Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative

ABSOLUTELY UNREAL!!!

We had heard from several sources that Cobbs had a boar that they had nicknamed “Bad Cat” that was off-thecharts good and we knew we needed to make the trip to check him out. Aaron describes this boar “as unique as I’ve ever seen”! We made the trip to Cobb’s in 2014 and when a boar later known as VISIONARY came walking out of the barn, we knew we were looking at one that had the opportunity to have a tremendous impact on showpig history. We truly believe Checkmate has that same type of ability!

Incredible and very Visionary-like in his look, structure, extension, showhog presence and attitude but what we believe makes him truly futuristic is how blown apart and square he is coming and going and his absolutely massive top and upper rib shape. We think Checkmate represents a very futuristic sire!

An unbelievable boar with a very unique and exciting pedigree! It’s hard to put into words just how good we think this one is and we invite you to come and check him out! He has wowed those that have seen him so far.

Checkmate was in the “ALREADY NAMED HIM / NOT FOR SALE” pen and it took lots of negotiations and lots of cash to get it done. We are grateful and thrilled that Cobbs let this one follow in the footsteps of the many tremendous Cobb sires to Premium Blend!!!

The final move we have been wanting to make - CHECKMATE!

Never before

$600 List/ $400 Overrun /$200 Last Call

Dirty Secret x Red 7 Bred by Bobell Farms Stress: Negative Never Before have we seen one like this!! Truly an AMAZING animal that is built to leave a legacy! Never Before and his littermate, Classified were our $170,000 private auction purchases from Bobell Farms. This pair of boars is sired by Dirty Secret and are out of a Red 7 female that is a littermate to Red Alert. We saw the videos of these boars and immediately knew we needed to head over and see them as soon as possible. After viewing them, we got back in the truck and agreed that we were going to do whatever it took to bring them to PBG. We believe that Never Before has the opportunity to be an absolute LEGEND in the showpig industry!

Never Before is simply a stand out creature from every angle. He combines extreme traits never before thought possible and does so in a correct, functional package. It is hard to imagine a boar that can be this extreme in his ability to be incredibly heavy boned, big footed, and stout, while still being so elevated, attractive and unreal in his overall skeletal build and design.

Never Before is absolutely on fire siring an amazing number of the high-selling prospects of the spring crop.

Most impressive to us is that he has worked across numerous herds and absolutely stamps them with tremendous mass, look and structural correctness. Never Before has produced prospects selling for $19,500, $15,000, $11,000, $9000, $8750, $8000 with several more selling from $5000 to $7500. Great prospects who are landing in elite feeders hands is the recipe for an awesome summer & fall. We can’t wait to see what’s in store!

Dirty Secret x Dirty Secret’s Sister (Bachelor Party) Bred by Lackey Livestock Stress: Negative

OH MY!! Better buckle up on this one! One of the most popular young boars we have ever put on stud!

With the unreal demand and early success of Secret Society, we were immediately in contact with Jason about a return trip to try to buy another one of that caliber! We can say with extreme confidence that we have found one EVEN BETTER!! The siring career of Dirty Secret is nothing short of legendary, so when Jason told us he had a special young boar that was Dirty Secret x Dirty Secret’s sister, we couldn’t wait to make the trip to see him!

Thanks again to the crew at Lackey Livestock for the opportunity to purchase Family Ties. We have extreme confidence in his ability to follow in his sire’s footsteps and be an absolute legend in the showpig industry!

We have always found that it was difficult to adequately describe the truly special ones because they just have that “IT FACTOR” that separates them from the pack. Family Ties has about as much “IT” as anything we have ever seen. He offers such a unique combination of stoutness, extreme power and mass with a flawless skeletal build and a freakish look through his head and neck! He drives at you busted open and bold with a high head carriage that ties high into his blade. He explodes out of the backside of his blade, offering overwhelming shape and spread. He is a short backed boar, while still offering really good elevation and look and is also very long and level in the design to his hip which allows him to plant and drive with supreme athleticism and range of motion. When viewing Family Ties, the sheer density and proportions that made Dirty Secret famous are on full display. Family Ties is a truly special individual--HERE WE GO!!

Bred by Brinning Genetics Stress: Negative Curtain Call!! One of the truly INCREDIBLE boars we have EVER seen! While watching the Perfect Timing preview n the fall of 2017, Shane Brinning had a Best Man x Visionary barrow that we thought was very intriguing. We immediately followed Shane back to his pen to see if there were any littermate boars. Shane told us there was one that he thought was very special, but he wasn’t sure if he would sell him. Shane calls Curtain Call “By far the most amazing creature I have ever bred”. Curtain Call is one unique beast that we are thrilled to own!! LEGENDARY PEDIGREE – INCREDIBLE BOAR!!!

We were very excited to see what Curtain Call would do and he has delivered BIG TIME!!!

He is a GREAT ONE today, and he will be a great one regardless of year or trend. His skeleton is put together so well and everything fits and works to make one truly elite individual! He is huge legged and heavy boned, Secret Society reads so stout from every angle! Very loose, flexible and correct in his structure-he has a hind leg that plants and drives to perfection. It is hard to adequately describe one that does so many things right and does them to such a very high level. We definitely invite you to come see Secret Society for yourself!

V40 x V40’s Full Sister (Vendetta) Bred by Lindner Showpigs Stress: Negative

We have been on a serious hunt for an elite Exotic boar that would be the perfect genetic and phenotypic match for Dirty Secret daughters. We had seen several V40 hogs we really liked and had won at the highest levels so when we heard Luke Lindner had a very special V40 son, this search immediately led us to Lindner Showpigs and resulted in the purchase of this truly ELITE individual!

The V40’s have had a tremendous run this winter and after seeing the incredible amount of success Luke had with V40 x Vendetta gilts and barrows throughout the major show season, we are even more excited that we were able to purchase this boar!! Additionally, on the trip to Lindner’s, Luke showed us through the sows and young gilts that he had built his program around. We were absolutely blown away with the sow herd Luke has put together. After seeing this incredible depth of quality and genetic horsepower of females standing at the foundation of him, we are even more confident in NO MÁS’s ability to be an absolutely DOMINATING sire!!

NO MÁS is simply put a barrow sire supreme and is unlike any sire ever housed at PBG. He is an absolute monster in his back shape and spread up high! He is so bold and robust in his center body with awesome turn to his upper rib with incredible body mass. No Mas is so unique in his look with a stout, masculine skull that is still very sharp and attractive with a tight ear set. He is so impressive in the length and design of his hip, with a hind leg that functions with supreme comfort. This should allow his offspring to keep driving comfortably while the competition tightens up! When a barrow that looks like No Mas comes out of the gate and drives right at the judge, you can bet you will be heading straight back to the pen and driving for the big banners! We greatly appreciate Luke letting us pry this one away!!! An incredible specimen with a very unique pedigree!

This one is special!

Secret Society x HMB x Teen Spirit’s Dam Bred by Wintex Farms Stress: Negative

GUNS UP!!! Our $35,000 weanling purchase from Wintex Farms at Perfect Timing. Will had told us about this one very early on and was very excited about him. We thought this pedigree was an incredible blend of impressive individuals and were definitely excited to see him when he got to Perfect Timing. We absolutely loved him when we purchased him and he has been a truly fun animal to watch mature and develop. GUNS UP is an absolute BEAST! GUNS UP is made much in the same mold and pattern as his great sire! The first thing that strikes you is his absolutely enormous legs. He is truly one of the heaviest boned boars we have ever seen. What makes him unique in that regard is that he remains clean in his joints and is very athletic in the way he can plant and drive of his rear legs. GUNS UP is square made and proportionate in his overall build when viewed from the side.

He is boxy and short backed, yet still offers a great look from his blade forward and is very correct and flexible in his overall skeletal build and makeup. As he drives right at you, he truly gives you the look of a champion show hog, being busted open with supreme squareness blade to ground. His foot strikes the ground with a strong, sturdy set to his pasterns on square, evenly spaced toes. When you are looking to stand out and make a strong impression in the “big league” shows, it takes a truly unique animal to rise above the rest. GUNS UP offers all those extras in one dynamite package. Let’s ride!!

Ghost is our $25,000 weanling purchase from 2018 Perfect Timing! This is a sale we definitely look forward to each year as it brings together the most elite prospects from some of the best breeders in the country. Talking with the HH crew prior to the sale, and learning that they had brought a solid white full -sib to Weston Lackey’s 2018 San Antonio Grand Barrow and the 2018 Ft Worth Reserve Overall Barrow to the Perfect Timing, our interest was obviously very high. After looking at the boar, it became evident that Ghost had the phenotype to back up the incredible genetic opportunity he offered! We were pumped to watch Ghost develop and he has matured beyond our expectations!

Ghost offers an incredible look through the front 1/3 of his body, being elevated and extended with his neck tying high out of the top of his blade. He absolutely explodes out of his blade with unreal spread and width with a ditch running down his back. He drives at you with a very bold, square chest with power that he carries from the base of his chest floor down through his knee to the ground. For all his look and shape, he is still robust in his fore-rib and body shape. Ghost is so impressive as he tracks a way with a big, square hip that is absolutely loaded with product and mass. We are very confident in Ghost and his ability to sire the kind of elite level showpigs that made his full sib one of the most popular barrows ever shown! Whether you are breeding him to solid white ones for Southwest Yorks, or use him to make Belts/Blues on belted sows, we have very high hopes that Ghost will deliver big banners to our customers!

Not only does he have the legendary Dirty Secret as his sire, but the Bear 274 gets us pumped up as a unique twist on the bottom side.

Hush Money immediately strikes you as a BIG TIME boar as he drives right at you with his enormous chest floor that he carries from the base of his chest, through his knee, to the ground! From the side, he offers a striking profile, being tall shouldered, level in his build, with a unique look through his head and neck! When Hush Money drives away, he is equally as impressive offering tremendous base width, a big square hip, all while reaching forward and driving with supreme flex and range of motion! He is a truly three-dimensional hog that is SO stout from every angle you analyze him, while maintaining unreal showhog look and presence!

Hush Money is a special boar that is built and bred to make showhogs that win at the highest levels! He’s got it all! Come see this one in person-Hush Money is a big time boar!!!

Teen Spirit x Monster Square Bred by Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative

WHAT A UNIQUE CROSSBRED BOAR!! If you are needing to add true POWER, SHAPE, and WIDTH---look no further! Our trip to Cobb’s resulted in the purchase of three absolutely incredible boars!

We have been making the trip to Cobb’s for several years and NIRVANA struck us as one of the most different ones we had ever seen in Lake City! He offers an interesting blend and twist of pedigree being sired by the popular Teen Spirit and out of a Monster Square sow! NIRVANA is a true barrow boar in every sense of the word. He is shorter bodied with an absolute ditch running all the way down his back. He is so impressive when he drives right at you, being absolutely enormous in his chest width and spread. He carries this power throughout his entire body cavity, being extreme in the spring to his rib cage and depth to his body. He has a crisp turn to his loin edge, which should allow him to sire barrows that are absolute standouts from every angle!

We think that NIRVANA is ideal to bring to those bigger outlined sows that need muscle shape, expression. and base width without sacrificing the look necessary to win big banners! With all this power and mass, he is still very comfortable and athletic when in motion, with a running gear that is second to none.

A very unique boar that can make barrows and gilts that win big banners-NIRVANA!!

When we made the trip over to look through the set of pigs at Decker’s this fall, they were incredibly deep, pen after pen, in quality as it always is there! This blue belted Curtain Call son was an absolute standout along with his littermates who sold extremely well in that on-line sale as well! We knew instantly that we needed to buy OVATION and bring him to PBG! Big time Curtain Call son that has a VERY bright future!!!

OVATION is royally bred, being a Curtain Call son back on Silver Lining’s mother. That sow was Taylor Schuerman’s 2015 Indiana State Fair Grand Overall Gilt and has done an absolutely incredible job as a generator for Deckers. OVATION’s grandmother is the living legend, MOUSE sow, who has proven to be one of the truly great ones! Visually, OVATION is one impressive individual! Awesome in his skeletal build and looseness of structure.

He is bold and opened up with a lot of back shape and expression working throughout! As he tracks away, he plants a giant hind leg that functions and drives to perfection. He is stout skulled, yet still maintains a great showhog look and balances up extremely well when viewed from the side! As an added bonus, his distinctive color pattern makes them easy to sell early and will always stand out from the crowd in the showring!

FRONT ROW! This is our $18,000 weanling purchase from Brinning Genetics at the 2018 Breeder’s Best Sale. With the extreme popularity and early reports on Curtain Call pigs, it was immediately clear we needed to find a son to place along side him in stud. We wanted to find one that was truly elite and we talked to Shane early fall about the big time one he was taking to Breeders Best! We thrilled to find this one as a weanling this fall! He has matured into exactly what we set out to find-an elite Curtain Call son!!

Front Row shows some striking resemblance to his sire in term of his spread and crisp shape up high! He is blown apart with a ditch running all the way down his back with a crisp turn to his loin edge! He is opened up and square coming and going with tremendous mass and power throughout! Front Row is dead level in his design, offering really good look through his head and neck with a stout, masculine jawline. He is excellent in the amount of upper rib shape he demonstrates with really good depth of body. Maybe his most impressive trait is his near perfect hind leg that allows him to plant and drive with effortless range of motion and flexibility. We knew when we purchased Curtain Call from Brinning that he had the chance to be an absolute LEGEND and he is off to an absolutely incredible start to his siring career! We believe FRONT ROW has the ability to continue building upon the winning tradition Curtain Call has started!

Visionary

$300 List/$150 Overrun/$100 Last Call Bone Collector x Super Monster

Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative One of the most frequent questions we receive is how is Visionary doing? Visionary semen looks great, is holding very well and conception rates are tremendous.

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.

There is not a whole lot left to say about what Visionary has accomplished to date and we think he is as relevant today as he was the day we purchased him. Visionary continues to produce off-spring that can win at the Majors as he sired the Reserve Yorkshire Barrow @ Houston and the 3rd Overall Gilt @ Georgia Nationals.

Even more impressive to us is the job his daughters are doing in the crate. The number of elite showpigs having Visionary on the bottom side is truly impressive and reports of their mothering ability have been tremendous!!!

We have purchased several elite level boars from them over the years, and we think Money Moves We had the opportunity to see Money Moves as a weanling on a trip through Weisinger’s and could not wait to head back later that summer to see how he progressed!

Money Moves is a very heavy boned, big footed boar that reads with tremendous stoutness at every angle.

The Money Moves babies have been tremendous as they have his style and mass and are very cool colored but they are much sleeker fronted than Money Moves himself. The future looks very bright!

Dirty Secret x Full Strut x Black Onyx Bred by Lettow Showpigs Stress: Negative Our trip to Lettow Showpigs this Spring was one we were definitely anticipating and had very high expectations for. The Lettow firm has become synonymous with building elite showpigs that are impeccable in their skeletal build and design, and their ability to do this while piling on all the EXTRAS has been very impressive.

Nick and Tye had been in contact with us about a Dirty Secret son that they thought was very special. They believed this boar was a supreme representation of what they try to do at Lettow Showpigs and felt he was one that they thought could make a special impact. We are absolutely thrilled to bring Secret Agent home to Premium Blend.

This boar is built in the mold of the elite Dirty Secret offspring we have seen, but also offers some extremes in terms of his freakish look and extension through his head and neck, with loads of fresh back shape and a deep groove running from the backside of his blade to his hip. He is cracked open at the base of his chest and maintains this power through his center cavity! He is really impressive in the curvature to his rib and body shape.

Lock It Up x Sting Ray x Best Man

Bred by Brinning Genetics Stress: Negative

Initially, our trip to Brinning’s was completely focused on finding a way to convince Shane to sell us Curtain Call.

However, while walking back through the barn, we noticed an awesome younger boar in the pen next to him. Seeing STONES for the first time, we were blown away and we immediately knew we had to find a way to bring him to PBG as well!!

Stones is one that reads like a big time barrow sire! He is square and proportionate in his build and balance! He is opened up and square coming and going with really good shape and mass up high! Stones is very rugged and stout in his feature. For a boar that has this much stoutness and mass, he still presents a really trendy look and design from the side. He has a great running gear and can get out and go with great range of motion. Sired by the very successful Lock It Up and out of a Stingray x Best Man sow that was 5th Overall at Georgia National last year! Additionally, that Best Man granddam is a littermate to the great Wedding Crasher boar at Brinning’s!

Stones has a pedigree that is stacked with years of barrow dominance, strengthening our confidence in him to be an elite level sire!! Stones picked up a very good win as he sired the San Antonio Reserve Champion Div. 2 Other Cross Barrow

Kiss My Socks x Ante Up x Swagger Bred by Heimer Hampshires Stress: Negative Kiss The Ring is very unique in his overall build and construction. Most of the time when you get a boar that offers this type of look and design, they don’t combine it with this mass and spread on the topside of their skeleton. He is round and robust in his rib and body, with a big square back that offers great expression and shape. He is very heavy boned, big footed, and heavy structured. While Kiss The Ring does offer some extremes in his extension and elevation, he still reads with a masculine skull and is very stout in his feature. We have very high hopes for Kiss The Ring and believe he will prove to be an elite level sire on a wide variety of sows!

KTR is siring prospects that have a very extended and cool look to them. If you need to add extension but still keep body and mass, then KTR would be an excellent option KTR sired the OYE 21st & 50th Overall Crossbred Gilts as well as the very popular OYE 4th Overall Hampshire Barrow.

2) They are timeless sires that continues to be as predictable as any boars in stud to produce consistently high quality, elite, extremely deep litters of very salable prospects. In Exclusive’s case this is evidenced by his siring of Hoge’s 2018 American Royal Grand Overall Barrow

Blocked Caller x He’s The One Bred by Flaspohler EN:25-1 Reg# 395339001 Brake Check is our 2018 STC $20,000 purchase from the Flaspohler Family! While watching the Duroc show, we felt there was an incredibly unique boar. We weren’t really looking for another Red, but when one comes along that is so different, unique, and far reaching, we knew we had to own him! Brake Check is one that puts together a lot of extreme traits into a package that is still very sound, flexible, and structurally correct. In addition to all his phenotypic traits, Brake Check has a unique twist on the top side of his pedigree, making him a must use on several popular lines in the breed! This one can make the DIFFERENCE!!

Brake Check is unreal in his look and elevation through his front 1/3. With his extreme elevation, he still maintains proper angulation to his shoulder and curvature to his forearm. He reads with awesome stoutness of skull and feature. He has big legs, is very heavy boned with big, evenly spaced toes. When you get on top of him, he overwhelms you with his big, square back with a ditch running all the way back to his hip. As he drives right at you he is busted open from the base of his chest, through his knee to the ground, maintaining perfect squareness throughout this transition.

We have never seen a Duroc boar put together like Brake Check!

Duroc boar! BRAKE CHECK is built to make the DIFFERENCE!!

Stand Tall x Watch N Learn Bred by Jake Gossett EN:18-1 Reg# 397479001

Head & Shoulders is our off the farm purchase we made from Jake Gossett early this summer. We had heard about this boar from several people who had seen him early this spring and we made it a priority to stay updated on him and we jumped at the opportunity to purchase him on a visit earlier this summer! He combines the positive traits of his sire and his dam’s sire to a high degree to make one awesome Duroc sire that we are very excited to add to our lineup!

Head & Shoulders offers extreme bone, stoutness of feature, and is bold and thick throughout! He is very impressive as he comes and goes with width and power while exhibiting true squareness from the top of his skeleton to the ground. He has a big back that is packed full of muscle and product that is laid correctly across his frame. As you examine him at the ground, he stands on huge feet with giant, evenly spaced toes that all point in the right direction. When set in motion, he is very fluid and takes a long, comfortable stride off of both ends. Head & Shoulders is a boar that can make extreme changes while still siring hogs that are very comfortable and correct in their build and construction, which should allow his pigs to consistently rise to the top!
