Body Guard This Momentum son has created quite a stir around the CKL hog farm in the last month. Visitors have marveled about his elite skeletal make up and extreme correctness of feet and leg placement, not to mention his stress negative status with a huge rib and body and show pig look! Semen is booking fast, so don’t delay on this one and get ahead of the game. Many progressive Spot breeders have utilized him to this point and we are excited about what this guy has done since he has arrived in El Reno, Oklahoma. Give Collin a shout to make your next champion.

Multiple breed champion and overall grand champion wins! We would like to thank our National Barrow Show® buyers for seeing the breeding value in our two CKL Duggie sons in Austin. Our class winning boar from the youngest class, went to Brown Stock Farms and Raasch Farms—two great Spotted firms that have lasted through the long haul in the Spotted breed. Thanks guys! Also, thanks to Joel Olson for selecting the littermate to the class winner. He will get a great chance on one of the nation’s most productive sow herds. Great homes for these boars for sure!

CERTIFIED PEDIGREED SWINE www.cpsswine.com

Crossing the street Such a strange title for a swine publication editorial, I know. Yes, it has been a very long week as the moisture continues to fall, a bit of cold air has creeped in and politics have taken over the air waves. So what can we do about any of this? You are right, not a darn thing. In other areas of life, Jack Wall what if you don’t like Certified Pedigreed Swine what’s lying ahead of you? One way you can attempt to change course may be to simply venture across to the other side of the street. However, remember there are traffic signals to obey, oncoming traffic to watch for, fellow pedestrians coming and going, cyclists on the move and cracks in the sidewalk or curbs to maneuver as we cross that street. So, here is the connection we can draw rom when comparing crossing a street and pig breeding. ** If you don’t like the trend of show pigs being offered, selected or winning, give buyers another good alternative from your side of the street.

** If you believe that customer satisfaction combines a high-quality product, rapid transfer of ownership, and an accurate pedigree that represents actual date of birth, sire, litter size, and dam and her production level, then join us on our side of the street. It is easy to put accurate data on a litter application. Set your satchel down and grab a front seat, curb side. Believe it or not, there are a good number of people seeking your operation. ** If you believe in breed progress, where quality beats quantity, product beats advertising slogans and a person’s word is as good as yours, get a bench along the busiest street corner and stay awhile. ** Crossing the street sometimes takes you to places you really don’t want to go. The GPS transmission may take you to a destination you do not want to travel to and yes, they can be wrong. Don’t be afraid to ask for directions if need be. Sometimes two or three people’s opinions are better than one.

“If you believe in breed progress, where quality beats quantity, product beats advertising slogans and a person’s word is as good as yours, get a bench along the busiest street corner and stay awhile.”

** If you believe that litter size and sow productivity need to be addressed, cross the street and prove to the industry that there are alternatives to non-productive females.

** If you believe that good hogs start with the basics of soundness, length, growth, and balance, do not be afraid to tell people to take a walk to your side of the street to see another avenue of “quality”.

** Enjoy the journey. It is within anyone’s rights to do an honest thing differently than you do. Don’t be afraid to sample the goods, see what works, but remain committed to your goals and end destination. ** Don’t be afraid to assist a younger person across that street. Teach them right from wrong, good from bad, and ask questions of them. They likely will surprise you with their knowledge, talent and ability.

** The red lights and crosswalks are there for a reason. Slowing down and obeying the scenery and laws will allow for a more structured and successful journey. There are intersections and traffic along our travels. Enjoy the ride and have a safe and long-lasting trip to your destination.

Obituary Jacqueline “Jackie” Bauer

News from the Spotted Board of Directors The National Spotted Board of Directors recently addressed an inquiry and grievance submitted to them in reference to the legitimacy of the pedigree of a Spotted barrow exhibited at the 2018 World Pork Expo. After extensive research conducted by the Board of Directors and additional swine professionals, it has been determined by a unanimous vote of these Board of Directors that Spotted Barrow Registration # 16789907 could not have been farrowed on the date submitted on the litter application and not eligible for exhibition at the 2018 World Pork Expo. The Spotted Board and Certified Pedigreed Swine Association member organizations consider the accuracy and integrity of each pedigree to be of utmost importance, and will continue to address and or monitor any grievance or abuse of accuracy

No Welfare Mommas

Hogs inherently do a couple things very well—eat a lot of feed, grow fast and reproduce. Poor selection decisions in the industry have successfully eliminated what hogs naturally do best. At Team Loos, we stay with the basics: if they don’t perform, they leave, no matter how pretty they are. We have built a sow herd that works for us and not the other way around. Now boars like Loos Wheels & Deals are bringing the pretty to the equation without sacrificing profit potential. Meet 77-1, a maternal granddaughter of Loos Queen Bee 8-5, a real working female in the Spot breed. The kind we raise at Team Loos and the kind we can supply for the success of your operation.

Poland China

National Barrow Show®

Show & Sale Report Breed builders were shown at Austin by Jeff Morris

The National Barrow Show® has long been one of the cornerstone Poland shows throughout the year. Some of the most influential individuals in breed history have surfaced at Crane Pavilion. This year may prove to be no different. Brice Conover, Iowa, did a thorough job of selecting sound, muscular and structurally correct Polands. When the Schulz Family of Dalton, Wisconsin, asked me in late July to stop and look at a few boars they had on feed I was confident I would like what I would see. But the second boar out of the barn far exceeded my expectations. After a few steps in the yard I started asking the necessary questions to see if he was Hog College eligible. With all the requirements met and much discussion they agreed to make him available. After thoughtful consideration he was selected for that honor. Congratulations to the Schulz family. Flawless in his design and as balanced and complete as you can make one. As we talk about making them tall fronted and attractive with an incredible side profile and add to that acceptable muscle, width and bone while being stress negative, he has the makings of a great one. Sired by the 2017 Summer Type Conference champion boar FOOT6 Fear This 107-2 who has many banner winners in his pedigree going all the way back to Schulz’s first Poland female purchased from Adam Denzer in 2007. Breeders Choice, Ohio; Croy Polands, Missouri; and Tucker’s Polands, Iowa, paid $2,900 to own him. I am excited to see his offspring next year. No stranger to earning champion banners, Raymond & Sheryl Rice, Oklahoma, won the boar show with a KTB7 First Aid 15-1 son. A huge forearm, big outlined—yes that is a good thing—and an excellent side profile made this one deserving of the award. Reserve champion honors went to Mercedes Schulz, Wisconsin, with an impressive March boar. The boar was one of the widest and heaviest muscled boars in the show while being correct and good looking. Class 2 was also won by Raymond & Sheryl Rice with a boar sired by CFLK7 GRUS Flatliner. Stout and heavy boned and bold ribbed were the positives of this boar. Placing second in class 2 was Big River Polands, Iowa, with Reece Frohling carrying on the tradition of his grandfather, Lawrence Griebel, with a long bodied and heavy muscled boar. The Poland gilt show proved to be the highlight of the CPS side at Austin, Minnesota, with 13 of the 15 gilts exhibited getting new homes. The Hog College Gilt was bred by Tucker’s Polands, Iowa, and she represented the breed well in the grand slam drive. Sired by Flat Liner, the stress negative gilt had to be admired for her extra muscle, rump and excellent chest floor and combine that with abundant foot size and bone. Her extended pedigree includes some of the greats of the Poland breed. She will be a real generator for new owner Roger Waller, Iowa, and was second top-selling at $1.500. The champion Poland gilt was won

by Vegas Show Pigs, Iowa. Kelly has been on quite a run winning both breeding stock and junior shows. Sired by KPSC6 Time Of War, the gilt topped the field in femininity, soundness and look while being big ribbed and heavy boned. She was top selling at $2,000 going to Benny Culp, Indiana. The reserve champion gilt was consigned by Center Prairie Genetics, Lee Denzer and Andy Smith, Illinois. A daughter of 7 Harvey 13-1, this one is a solid, no holes gilt who looks to be a productive, long-lasting sow. Being well structured and big centered, Tucker’s Polands saw the value in her at $800. The remaining class winner was shown by Raymond & Sheryl Rice and was a Flat Liner sired gilt with a littermate placing second in the class. Mike Clark, South Dakota, selected the extended, bold ribbed gilt at $450. Class 3 proved to be the deepest class as four other gilts placing behind the champion found new homes. The Webster boys placed second with a 6 RSR Full Strut 20-1 daughter. She was an outlier in bone stoutness and base width. David Fay, Iowa, bid $950 to take her home. Vegas was third with a littermate to the champion, selling to Dwight Jensen, Minnesota, for $500. Heidi Benner, Pennsylvania, was in fourth with a high-quality gilt who exhibited an abundance of top shape and rump all in a correct package. Dan Wanous, Minnesota, was the successful bidder at $375. Rounding out the class was Mercedes Schulz with a Nirvana daughter selling to Tucker’s Polands for $300. Placing third in class 2, behind the Rice gilts, was Kyle & Cole Webster with a Full Strut gilt out of a strong litter that included a state fair champion barrow. Big River Polands purchased her for $575. She was big bladed, heavy boned and had an excellent top shape. Kimber Moody, Illinois, was second in class 1 with a L&C7 Full Deck 3-3 gilt ho brought $1,000 going to Tucker. As the sun sets on another National Barrow Show® I look forward to seeing what the genetics represented will do for the new owners. Thank you to Brice Conover for an excellent job sorting the Poland show. Fresh off of seeing him judge the Maryland State Fair, Brice is a huge advocate for purebred hogs and his positive comments are encouraging to hear. As always, it is important to thank all who make our events successful. Thank you to Peggy, Kassie and Amy who do so much prior to an event in the office. Our volunteers who run boards during the show are much appreciated. Our announcer, Ernie Barnes; our hog scanner, Dallas McDermott; and our auctioneer, Chad Day all make huge contributions to the outcome of our events.

National Barrow Show®

Show & Sale Report Hitting it out of the Park in Austin! by Jan Allen

As we changed the calendar to September, our thoughts turned to Labor Day, the final days of summer, harvest, and Austin, Minnesota, for the National Barrow Show®. Night-time temperatures dipped into the mid-20s in Minnesota just as exhibitors were loading trailers, but Austin-week weather was gorgeous. The days were in the 70s with night time lows in the upper 50s. It was sunny with a breeze and low humidity each day. The Berkshire show and sale were highlighted by our Hog College entries in the Home Run Derby on Monday night. Berkshire breeders were well represented with the Hog College Gilt from Kolten Knauth, Knauth Showpigs. KOLTS Ms Bison 36-4, came from the heart of the Knauth Berkshire line up. This female was heavy boned, wide underneath, with extra extension in her front-end. She was a Like Me Now x Drinking Class. Like Me Now was the $22,000 Knauth boar from the 2017 Summer Conference. Her grandmother is the dam of the reserve boar at the 2015 Summer Conference. 36-4 was shown by Braden Olson, Illinois, and was a class winner at the 2018 Illinois State Fair and was selected as the reserve champion Land of Lincoln Berkshire gilt. The Hog College Boar, AUST8 Ooh La La 20-6, exemplifies what the Lane firm believes progressive Berkshires should look like—tall shouldered, extended up front and most importantly, extremely square and athletic. This was a stout-featured boar who was wide-chested and square underneath. AUST8 Ooh La La 20-6's pedigree alone is packed with success as well. His sire was last year's champion boar at the National Barrow Show® who has sired many champions this summer. His dam, who is now referred to as the Phoebe sow, is a full sib to the $22,000 2016 Summer Conference Champion Gilt; $12,000 Juice It boar at Shipleys; $10,000 2016 Hog College Gilt; and Coattails, a herd boar on their farm. AUST8 Ooh La La 20-6 won the Home Run Derby, for the most outstanding boar on Hog College row as selected by the breeders’ panel and by the judging team coaches. Congratulations to all on the terrific Berkshire entries! Berkshire breeders gathered around as Judge Howard Parrish sorted through the gilts and boars. Each class featured high-quality breeding stock in every shape and size. Brice Conover drove a March 10 daughter of Game On to the top spot in class 1. She was a pretty girl that had plenty of body and top shape. The headliner in class 2 belonged to Eli Erickson and a Boardwalk daughter. She was stout and powerful in her design and came at you like a freight train. The blue ribbon in class 3 went to Smith Farms on their early-February gilt sired by Juice Box. This gilt had all the shape and muscle in a feminine package you could want. Brice Conover finished the day with the winner of class 4. This easy moving, deep-sided Family Jewels gilt went right to the top for Judge Parrish. The boar show was as long on quality as the gilt show. Juice Box sired the winning boar in class 1 for Smith Farms. This young March boar had the show-ring look you couldn’t walk away from. He was cool from every angle—he had the look. Smith Farms and Shaffner teamed up on another Juice Box son to capture class 2. This boar hit the ring like he owned it. He Hog College Boar was deep with as much bone and foot Austin Lane, Iowa

as you would want in a powerful package. The big outlined, rugged-made boar who stood on plenty of bone was driven by Brice Conover in class 3 and held the first spot. He was a PWC Rocket 2-1 son. Judge Parrish commented on the quality of the Berkshire offering and said every animal shown needed to go home with someone to make Berkshires better. Every type and kind had been represented in the show, from moderate-framed barrow makers to larger-scaled hogs. There were show pig pedigrees, meat quality pedigrees and those that offered both. Howard said this is an opportunity to move your program forward and urged all to take advantage of it. The champion gilt was the winner of class 1, shown by Brice Conover with a Game On daughter. The reserve champion gilt honor went to the winner of class 3, Smith Farms with a Juice Box daughter. The champion boar banner was awarded to the Smith and Shaffner entry that won class 2, sired by Juice Box. The reserve boar was from class 3 shown by Brice Conover and sired by Rocket. It was a sunny, breezy, 75 degrees on sale day. Many buyers had been out the night before looking through the sale offering, walking hogs and had their catalogs marked by sale time. Excitement surrounded the sale ring as the premier sire awards were passed out and the Hog College boar from Austin Lane entered the ring. The premier sire for the 2018 National Barrow Show® was AJC Galileo 19-1. The reserve premier sire was BTC6 Game On 90-4. After a flurry of bidding, Ben, Branden and Bryant Gill and UW Platteville took him home to Wisconsin for $10,500. Chuck Real purchased the popular grand champion boar, bred by Smith and Shaffner and was the second high-selling boar for $4,100. Top Cut selected the reserve boar from Brice Conover for $3,750. Thirteen boars sold for a total of $27,250 with an average of $2,096. Berkshire buyers actively bid on the gilt offering that was highlighted by the reserve gilt from Smith Farms. Kurtis Kolb took her home for $2,250. Chuck Real purchased the champion and second high-selling gilt from Brice Conover for $1,700. The Hog College entry from Kolten Knauth went to Andrew Foster for $1,600. The volume buyer was John Carroll, Austin, Minnesota. There were 25 gilts sold for a total of $18,725 for an average of $749. The entire sale grossed $45,975 on 38 head with an average price of $1,210.

BERKSHIRE

Game day This time of year, Friday night stadium lights mix with harvest lights in the field as communities gather together for the fall football season. It is the fall season that brings me back to some of my favorite memories with friends and family while playing or watching football together. I see a lot of similarities between “the Boys Alex Conover of Fall” and our own devoted American Berkshire Assn. breeders and youth who raise Berkshires. The passion and drive that fuels a high school and college football athlete is inspirational and often found in the most unlikely of places. Combined with fans cheering on the history and tradition of their alma mater, makes for an atmosphere like no other. This atmosphere is comparable to the thrill and excitement in the barn at our summer national junior show. Youth with different backgrounds and experience levels gather to exhibit the animals they have spent all spring and summer working on. The passion that our Team Purebred youth possess is evident as they compete in the show ring, and even more when you talk with them in the barn about their animals and the pork industry. Hard work and dedication are needed for any football team to have a successful season. The many hours of practicing plays

and drills, time in the weight room, or mental preparation are all essential in order to be ready for game day. This hard work and dedication are also reflected in our Berkshire breeders, who devote many hours in the barn getting animals ready for the next show, or planning matings to make the next generation of Berkshires better. The most important quality needed in any competitor is the spirit to achieve. I see this quality in our Berkshire breeders all over the country. The willingness to continually push the envelope and strive for success or the ability to persevere through a down market is unmatched in the purebred industry. Lastly, all great teams have a tried and tested coach to lead them on to victory. Like many of you, I also have been blessed to watch and learn from a tremendous group of mentors and coaches who have left a lasting impact on me. In the Berkshire breed, we have been graced with pioneers, who have come before us and paved the way for our success. They have passed the torch of knowledge to ensure we each continue to advance the Berkshire legacy. I challenge each of you, to find a new young person to mentor and pass your knowledge on this breeding season and into the coming year. Only through investing in the next generation, can we build a solid foundation to reach new heights.

“The most important quality needed in any competitor is the spritit to achieve.”

I firmly believe that any man’s finest hour, the greatest fulfilment of all that he holds dear, is that moment when he has worked his heart out in a good cause, and lies exhausted on the field of battle. – Vince Lombardi

Team Purebred

Eastern Regional

Show Report Aug. 31-Sept. 3, 2018 Timonium, Md. Judge: Issac Lewis

2018 event a success by Elysa Doherty, Wis. Each year near the end of summer, Team Purebred works with the Maryland State Fair to put on the Team Purebred Eastern Regional show. After the 16-hour drive from the central location of Illinois to Timonium, Maryland, the fun weekend could truly begin. Friday Morning started us off with the tedious task of set up and check in with both going off without a hitch thanks to the help from the state fair staff as well as several exhibitors. Friday night began with a grueling novice showmanship and the next three divisions only heated up with quality showmen from top to bottom in each division. The following morning began the sweepstakes contests, including the skillathon and judging. Sweepstakes concluded at 5 p.m. at which time the small, but fierce barrow show judged by Isaac Lewis began. The show progressed at a steady pace, with Grace Swope from Pennsylvania, winning the overall grand ghampion banner with her Berkshire barrow. In true East Coast fashion, we, and many others, finished our day with a seafood feast. Once again with Isaac Lewis as the judge, Sunday began the long-awaited gilt show. The livestock brought to the Eastern Regional did not disappoint. After sorting through the tough competition, Ryan Borer from Virginia won the overall gilt honors with his grand champion Chester gilt. Following the gilt show, the sweepstakes awards were given out to a big group of very talented exhibitors. Team Purebred is honored and thankful for the opportunity to work with the Maryland State Fair to put on this high-quality and competitive regional show. 36

Junior Classic

Show Report September -8, 2018 Austin, Minn. Judge: Jim Gibson, Iowa

A place of tradition Austin, Minnesota, is a place overflowing with tradition and prestige when it comes to the swine industry and we all show up with an unspoken excitement running through our body and an extra jacket or two as we get the first feeling of fall. Upon arriving at the Mower County Fairgrounds, we all began to set things up and prepare for the first set of pigs to arrive. Team Purebred and NJSA junior boards teamed up for the weekend to put on NBS® Junior Classic. On Saturday morning we arrived before the sun had come up to get all the final details in order, so we could start helping junior members

and their families unload and prepare for the day. Once we started check in the lined just continued to grow as everyone was excited to get checked in and signed up for showmanship. Saturday afternoon, Judge Jim Gibson stepped in the ring to begin working with a talented group of junior members during showmanship, and it was an amazing group to watch and help work through that evening. Once showmanship was wrapped up, NJSA and Team Purebred held a pizza party and corn hole tournament for junior members and their families. Sunday we all arrived ready for an awesome show and after the college meat judging contest awards were presented we began our day with the junior barrow show and had a great set of hogs for judge Jim Gibson to work with. Once we completed the purebred

barrows we dove into the crossbred barrows before we brought all the champion purebred barrows back for an amazing set for grand drive. Upon completion of the barrow show we jumped right into the junior breeding gilt show. The set of gilts came out on fire with awesome quality and we rolled through the gilts with the Spot gilts being named grand and reserve grand overall. The show was amazing; however, the most interesting part of the National Barrow Show® is to see the many generations in attendance and to walk through the barn and see the truckloads and the quality boars and gilts on Hog College Row. Thank you to everyone who attended and helped with an AWESOME event and weekend.

Why do we do it? People ask me all the time “What is it that you do?” After trying my best to explain exactly what my position entails, inevitably the next question I get is “Why?”. I have thought many times that exact same thing, “Why do we do what we do?”. At times it seems Dakota Moyers Director of Junior Activities like the single focus is on how to win the next banner or belt buckle; but the real focus needs to be the true product of pig shows: the kids. We NEED to do it for the YOUTH—they are the true focus of what we are trying to grow, develop, and support. The value of what a kid can gain from showing pigs comes from learning the quality traits of pigs and how to feed and care for a living animal. The valuable life traits that youth learn from showing swine are applicable to many other facets of life as well. Animal husbandry skills aside, the family time, the friend time, and the life lessons learned during the days of junior shows will always play a major role in their lives. I have spent a little over seven months working with Team Purebred. In this short time, the relationships I have formed with the junior board, adult board, and Team Purebred junior members and their families are relationships I will always cherish and hope to nourish. I honestly thought as I stepped into this new role I would enjoy the pig shows and events the most but the late-night talks with junior board members or adult board members about things that don’t even apply to pigs have been the moments that have meant

the most to me. At the Southwest Regional this past winter I helped a pair of little guys in the holding pens and later that spring I was at a pig sale and they both came up and introduced themselves again. We sat on a couple bales of shavings, ate some Oreos and drank Dr. Pepper. We talked about how much fun they had showing and all the things they had planned for the summer. These are the memories and the reasons we really do what we do. I encourage everyone to take a step back from time to time and really look at why we are doing this. It is so easy to only focus on how we can win the banners or the belt buckle and completely lose focus of the real values of raising kids and working with youth. “Children have never been very good at listening to their elders, but they have never failed to imitate them.”- James Baldwin This is a quote I challenge everyone to really study and apply to their lives because no matter how many times we tell kids what to do, they will always choose to follow our lead. Wherever we are, remember kids will always mimic what we do and say. It may be a challenge for the competitive spirit in each of us to take a step back, focus less on the banners and the wins and focus more on the kids and how we can help them grow. The banners will continue to fade over time but the one thing that will never stop growing and changing are the youth we work with daily. Make THEM the focus and priority, cherish the time you have with them as you are going to the barn, loading up for the next show, or if it is the next time you see them. Life is short, LOVE THEM, they are our FUTURE.

“It may be a challenge for the competitive spirit in each of us to take a step back, focus less on the banners and the wins and focus more on the kids and how we can help them grow.”

Crossbred Gilts

National Barrow Show®

Show & Sale Report

Consistent quality demands attention at Austin by Jack Wall

For some show pig producers in the upper Midwest, the National Barrow Show® has been a prime market to merchandise and purchase crossbred show pig mamas. The 2018 NBS® Crossbred Gilt Show featured 13 futuristic females who had a good combination of some production traits with muscle, rib, bone, and varying degrees of frame size with structural integrity. Tom Farrer, Indiana, was asked to give an official placing on these gilts divided into two classes determined by weights. As expected, Tom put priorities on soundness, rib shape, and female characteristics and made sure the important traits of being a future sow in check. Job well done, Mr. Farrer. Both the champion and reserve champion gilts came from the heavyweight class. The Chicos family continued their great NBS® (also had champion on-foot truckload) with the champion crossbred gilt. This one was an Oh Boy x Wedding Crasher and was level constructed, muscular, and sound, with an attractive phenotype. She brings $850 to JAB Genetics of California. Ashley Jensen from South Dakota showed the reserve gilt which was a Don’t Stop Believing x Hodor. Impressive in her stoutness, muscularity, width of hip and ribcage, she brings $500 to Dakota Gold Genetics. The lightweight champion was shown by Grant Giese of Wisconsin and was an End of Story x Gone Viral female. Impressive for being balanced, correct and lean with a muscular shape, she sells to Dakota Gold for $500. Additional gilts shown by Hunter Bloch (Hurricane x Sky Cam), Mclayn Musick (Oh Boy x Visionary) and Grant Giese (Patriot x 196K) all had multiple friends at sale time.

A CHAMPIONSHIP SUMMER Sincere Thanks

2018 Illinois State Fair Grand Champion Chester White Boar

Thanks to Flach Farms, Illinois, for purchasing this Unsocial x Sock It To Me son at Springfield. A truly heavy structured, wide skeletoned, big footed, muscular boar who will sire a great set of show prospects.

2018 Illinois State Fair Reserve Senior Champion Berkshire Boar

Thanks to Justin Howard for purchasing this Juice Box x Heart Attack son at Springfield. Extremely well bred and going to a good and productive sow herd, we expect big things from this guy.

A sincere thank you to all of our swine friends for making the 2018 show season the best one ever. We are not intending to miss any of our helpers but to our immediate family, Ken and Julene Shaffner, Paul Caldwell, Lee Denzer, Tom Olson, Dan Naughton, and our fellow breeders, we say THANK YOU!!!

Congratulations . . . 2018 Illinois State Fair Reserve Grand and Champion Land of Lincoln Tamworth Gilt

Built like a brood sow should be, we have retained this powerful and popular Tamworth female to build our herd around. Study the picture and think of the future this elite female represents.

This Juice Box daughter was successfully shown numerous times by Matt Miller, Illinois, at shows across the Midwest. A class winner at the 2018 Team Purebred National Junior Show and the Illinois State Fair Junior Show, she is just one example of what Juice Box progeny can do.

Herd Boar . . . Juice Box • Juice It x Texas Tea Introducing . . . LIGMA

The 2018 Illinois State Fair Reserve Grand Champion Tamworth Boar, bred by Quint Harnake, Illinois, LIGMA was easily our choice of the Tamworth boars we saw in 2018. If muscle, bone, look and soundness are priorities for your herd, LIGMA is your boar.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2018

Purchased at the 2017 World Pork Expo, this truly powerful Berkshire breeding boar has elevated our Berkshire program to new heights. He offers lots of positive traits but he simply makes really good hogs on a consistent basis. A different pedigree than most popular lines, we could not be happier with his success within our herd. His little pigs are easy to sell yet the maturity of his offspring is impressive at every step. Take a look at his progeny on the facing page that we showed at the 2018 National Barrow Show®.

AN AWESOME AUSTIN 2018 NBS® Champion Berkshire Boar

A huge thank you to Charles Real & Family, Texas, for their $4,100 purchase of this Juice Box x Godwin son at Austin. We truly believe there is a lot of breeding value in this boar. He combines muscle, structure, width, flexibility and show ring appeal. None of this would have been possible without our dear friends, Ken and Julene Shaffner for sharing their very best Berkshire sows with us. This championship win is as much theirs as it is ours. Congratulations and thanks to the Shaffners for their friendship, loyalty to the breed and faith in Andy and the Berkshire breed.

2018 NBS® Reserve Champion Berkshire Gilt

This gilt goes to the home of Kurtis Kolb, Illinois, for $2,250. The bulk, mass, soundness, stoutness, and correctness of this Juice Box x Fly By daughter will be a great addition to one of the most progressive herds in America. Thanks, Kurtis and crew, for taking this one home.

2018 NBS® 1st Class 1 Berkshire Boar Thanks to Brice Conover, Iowa, for securing this young March 15 Juice Box x Heat Stroke son. We will follow his progress closely as he goes to work in one of the country’s best sow herds.

2018 NBS® Reserve Champion Poland Gilt

Our inagural partnership entry in a Poland national show, this feminine, correct, sound and solid lady went to Tucker’s Polands, Iowa. A Harvey x Woo-Hoo product, she was a joint project for Center Prairie Genetics, Lee Denzer and Smith Farms. It’s just the beginning.

The Excitement Builds TIMBER

Sugar Ray x Tru-N Square We have travelled the country, been to two national shows and had eyes out at all of the major Midwest state fairs and quite simply, nothing compared for our herd like Timber does. This 2018 Missouri State Fair Champion Poland Boar does all of those things the young judging teams talk about. However, Timber actually has a true purpose and foundation. True and square in his skeleton, muscular and bold on his top side that carries back to a thick but square rump, Timber offers heaviness of skeleton, width and dimension with a masculine but clean head and jaw in a truly sound, flexible package. Yes, he is stress negative and no, we will not trade him for any boar driven in 2018. A limited amount of semen is available, and his biggest asset will be here in Sweet Springs, Missouri. This will be a fun ride as we watch Timber develop and prove his worth right here at the farm. This one is really, really good!!! New Herd Addition

10-8 • 2018 Missouri State Fair Champion Gilt

Sugar Ray x Tru-N Square This elite lady had lots of friends at Sedalia. The stoutness yet femininity of this one with her build and genuine rib shape and design will allow her to be productive, long lasting and be a generator of better Polands. This female will be fun to get in to production.

9-6 • 2018 Missouri State Fair Reserve Champion Gilt

Pipeline x Tru-N Square Okay, folks, tear this one apart. She is long fronted, perfectly balanced, has great toes, is tall fronted, feminine, muscular, shapely and built for the long haul. She is tailor-made for breeding to Timber. A typical example of what Polands from our operation look like.

2018 Ohio State Fair Supreme Champion Gilt – Junior Show

This Jackpot x What Now daughter outlasted all the competition at the Ohio State Fair. When we heard about this one at Columbus, it did not take us long to tell Jeff Morris to get her bought. The rib shape, structure, length of front, and total balance of this elite female will be fun to put into production in our herd. Building an elite sow herd has always been our goal and we have extreme confidence that this female will be a valuable resource to build with.

Critical Mass SFL8 Critical Mass 14-6 • Reg. # 49588006 • Negative RSR7 Night Sky 11-1 x 3DS5 Full Of It 3-1 2018 Indiana State Fair 2nd Class 3 Boar 1.89 WDA • .98 BF • 11.8 LEA

Critical Mass is the widest walking, heaviest muscled, thickest ribbed, deepest bodied, fastest growing, and SOUNDEST moving boar we saw this summer with a fresh, youthful appearance. And he’s bred to be that way. If you study his pedigree, one finds he’s intensely linebred to “Like No Other” a number of times on both his top and bottom sides. For five generations, the boars in his ancestry have been consistently described as broad in their chest, stout with powerful forearms, deep in the rib, full in the heart, heavily muscled with huge, shapely tops carrying that dimension and width back through a long rump in a very correct square and true package coupled with travel in a robust, sound, and athletic manner. Critical Mass is the catalyst we need to sustain, generate, and achieve continued performance, quality, and vitality in our herd. Thank you to Shott Family Livestock for putting him together—we, and the breed, need him. Feel free to inquire about semen or availability of bred females. 56

BREEDERS DIGEST

We have a

IXL BREEDING HERDS, a family livestock breeding operation for over a

century in North America, and the legacy continues—all with a functional balance of prolificacy, performance, and quality carcass composition—plus eye appeal. As Dad always said, “It doesn’t cost anymore to feed a good one that you like to look at, and you’ll probably enjoy chores better if you have some good ones to look at.”

Critical Mass will be bred to all of our sows. Pictured here after being home a week, he is as nimble as a cat, never missed a meal, and certainly has not crashed, or melted down.

2018 Iowa State Fair Grand Champion & 1st Place January Gilt Littermate boar stood second in class to the grand champion boar.

2018 Iowa State Fair 3rd Place February Gilt Daweyn and Kelly Sheets’ pick of our gilts.

2018 Iowa State Fair Reserve Grand Champion & 1st Place February Gilt Littermate boar placed third and a littermate gilt placed fourth.

Our sows are nearly all daughters of our 2018, 2017, 2016, or 2015 home-raised Iowa State Fair Premiere Sires. It’s not easy to have premiere sire when most of the other exhibitors’ pigs are sired by two or three popular AI sires. Ask CPS Promotions Director Jeff Morris what our sows look like in their “working clothes”. Our customers are primarily commercial producers, and our hogs are raised under commercial conditions. They, and we, expect our pigs to breed, farrow, and grow without much assistance. We don’t show much, except for at the state fair. The pigs we show come off the feeders on the finishing floors the night before the fair, and are washed, tagged, and loaded. No fancy rations, paylean, fitting, etc.—just a simple corn/SBOM ration. What you see is what they are—and they will breed on. The scrutiny of our eyes has earned us industry-wide admiration for functional underlines and sound feet and legs.

Notes: The breed’s largest state fair Spotted show in 2018 was held in Sedalia, Missouri. 19 boars and 90 open gilts made their way to the newly revamped Missouri State Fairgrounds swine barn and the enthusasm, quality, and atmosphere was first class. Congratulations to all of the exhibitors, sale supporters, and state fair staff for their accomplish-ments at this year’s show. A tremendous sale was held with a good number of these gilts and boars capable of making major contributions in future generations.

THINGS TO REMEMBER: Litter Registrations Be sure that you are the owner of the sow. If not, you need to include transfer papers. The ABA does not automatically transfer females. You need to have the registration number and the ear notch of the sire. DNA from the sire needs to be on record. A blood sample can be sent to the ABA office. The owner of the boar should do this. If we don’t have DNA, we can not register your litter. If you purchase semen from a boar stud, you will need to purchase an AI Certificate through that stud.

Spotted

National Barrow Show®

Show & Sale Report Quality is strong at Austin, Minnesota by Jack Wall

With the 72nd National Barrow Show® in the books, it appears to me that the Spotted breed will continue to be a strong force in the breeding stock and show pig world. Lots of positive things were attributed to the Spotted breed at the 2018 NBS®. Included were: *** Tremendous Spotted truckload shown by Western Illinois University *** Junior Classic Supreme Champion Gilt shown by Blake Risius *** Junior Classic Reserve Supreme Champion Gilt shown by Sophia Lentfer *** People’s Choice Hog College Gilt shown by M&N Showpigs *** Top-selling gilt of the 2018 NBS® shown by M&N Showpigs These honors and recognitions are great but even more rewarding was the positive comments echoed throughout the barns on quality and depth within the Spotted show. Job well done, breeders. Tom Farrer, Indiana, was given the assignment to discuss this year’s Spotted hogs and as one would expect, Mr. Farrer used common sense, easy to understand terminology and was progressive in his thoughts on which hogs he felt would more successfully move the Spotted breed forward. It is always a pleasure to watch Tom work and a true joy to have him as one of our own. Thanks, Tom, for a job well done and an entertaining Spotted show. The Spotted boar sale started off with one of the really good boars sold the past 24 months. Michaela Miller/Raasch Farms’ Hog College Boar checked about every box you wanted to invent. He is structurally correct, great looking from the side, wide chested, lean and shapely, proper frame size, aggressive and built for the long haul. This stress negative boar had an eventful NBS® but as it turned out, he will be remembered at Austin 2018 as a great representative of the Spotted breed. Roger Caltrider took him to Iowa for $1,700—a great buy on a great boar. The champion Spotted boar was Western Illinois’ first class 2 entry sired by Free N Clear 41-3. This guy had a great profile, was long sided and wellbalanced with excellent shape and design. This stress negative boar was the day’s top seller for $5,000 to Schwecke Genetics and Swine Genetics International. The reserve champion was a Dennis Jeffers entry that wins the oldest class. This TMG7 Seven Eleven 1-1 stress negative entry was a tall shouldered, long fronted, stout boned, thick rumped individual that offers grow power, muscle with look and dimension in an easy-to-like package. He sold for $400 to Dennis Fay. CKL Spots wn the youngest class with a sound, big footed, flat boned, immature son of DLM Duggie. Raasch’s second class 2 son of Loos Cowboy was an extra sound, big volumed, big footed, stout boned, loose structured individual selling to Dan Wanous for $400. Kuhlow’s second class 1 (April 1 farrowed) by Downtown 7-1 was attractive, wide chested, level with some look. Resler’s second class 3 son of Beatdown 61-5 was long fronted, level designed,

and muscular with bone. Chris Shynk’s third class 2 son of Double Time offered foot, muscularity, length of rump, and a breeding hog look. Crump Farms got a great $500 purchase here. If muscularity, top shape, rump design, and rib are your needs, M&N’s third class 1 son of Reaper 27-12 was up your alley. The Waddell Family from Missouri took this one home for $450. Raasch’s fifth class 2 son of JMO Luke 12-2 offered some unique pieces. This was a big footed, huge ribbed, stout structured boar with great flexibility. He sold to Mike & Ron Brown for $1,000. Watch these progressive breeders make him work. The final boar selling was Norman’s sixth class 2 son of Rio Bravo. On sale day he started to hydrate and has a great skeleton with flexibility, bone, and great angles. He sold for $1,000 to M&N Showpigs. A tremendously impressive set of Spotted open gilts was offered under the chant of Col. Chad Day. This elite set of females was started off with the 2018 Hog College Gilt, also selected as “People’s Choice” by the College Judging Teams. This 6 Downtown 7-1 daughter, consigned by M&N Showpigs, did so many things extremely well. We’ll start with soundness, look and profile from the side, underline quality, muscularity, bone, yet feminity, and balance in a stress negative package. Congratulations to Jeff and Brendan Peters for selecting her for $3,800 (the top-selling gilt of all breeds at NBS®) and to the Heins family for breeding and offering this one for the breed. She is truly an impressive individual. The champion gilt was Callie Brink’s first class 3, double-bred Loud Mouth female. Combining a fault-free skeleton, long spine, rib, width, foot size, and a brood sow apprearance, it should be fun for Roger Caltrider to build around this one. The next gilt hitting the sale ring was the Junior Classic Supreme Champion Gilt. This Bar Fight x Time Change daughter was extra stout, big bladed, muscular, and wide. She was consigned by Jerome Risius and sold to Jordan Tibbits for $1,700. Raasch’s reserve champion gilt was the winner of class 1 and sired by Luke 12-2. This was a real complete, well-balanced female who was tall shouldered, good in her bone with ample frame and structure. Caltrider made another top purchase on this one for $650. Niehaus & Feldman won class 4 with a stout boned, well-balanced, big ribbed, Beatdown stress negative daughter. Mike and Ron Brown’s first class 2 daughter of Blue Grass was a brood sow deluxe candidate. I loved this one’s length, bone, and fault-free skeleton. She sold for $700 to Ryan and Travis Peters. This was a good buy. Western Illinois’ second class 1 Free N Clear daughter was a littermate to the champion boar. This was a wide, shapely, level designed female with rib shape. Scott and Jayme Sieren bought her for $1,100. One of my favorite gilts was Brown’s second class 4 Seven Eleven daughter. There is still a need for bigger framed, easy growing, muscular, (10.40 LEA) sound brood sows and CKL Spots picked this one off for $900. Watch Bob and crew make this one famous. Armstrong’s second class 3 Roper daughter combined rib, bone, and a brood sow look, selling to Lee Denzer for $300. Nine additional Spotted gilts found new homes during the sale and several exchanged hands afterwards. Although the National Barrow Show® seems to have lost some of its luster and participation than in years past, it certainly is not for lack of quality, excitement, or exchange of ideas or genetics. A good many Spotted boars and gilts who will positively impact the breed hit the packed dirt in Crane Pavillion and will be used successfully by breeders across America. The National Barrow Show® remains my favorite national show and needs your support in the future. Step outside of the norm and plan a trip to Austin, Minnesota, on September 8-11, 2019. It will be a trip and experience to remember. As we close the chapter of the 2018 NBS® Spotted Show, we can brag on the breed’s success and look forward to the generating power of the 2018 Spotted hogs in Austin, Minnesota. It was good and hopefully will be even better in 2019. Thanks to the CPS staff, Hormel crew, and volunteers who made it happen.

Congratulations to all Chester White exhibitors on a successful state fair season.

Champion & Supreme Overall Boar R.J. Ellingson, Ill.

Financial Incentives for Chester White Southwest Barrow Exhibitors Chester White Association offers premiums for San Antonio and Oklahoma Youth Expo

The Chester White Swine Record Association will award $1,000 in cash premiums to the exhibitor of the grand champion Chester White barrow at the 2019 San Antonio Stock Show and 2019 Oklahoma Youth Expo, providing the exhibitor has an official Chester White pedigree transferred into that exhibitor’s name at the time of the selection of that honor.

The pedigree must have accurate sire, dam and ownership date plus pass all DNA requirements. The pedigree must be in the possession of the exhibitor at time of exhibition—this means not at home in a desk, not in the show box or not in a vehicle.

Additionally, the breeder of this qualifying animal will also receive $1,000, if all requirements are met. What an opportunity for Chester White breeders to promote their programs and win some cash.

Chester White

National Barrow Show®

Show & Sale Report

Light on numbers but heavy on quality by Jeff Morris

Perfect weather, good hogs and better people were a winning combination for an enjoyable National Barrow Show®. Seth Ebert of Benedict, Nebraska, was given the assignment to analyze the offering in Austin, Minnesota. Seth is doing a great at A Cut Above carrying on their successful program of offering elite boars and breeding outstanding breeding stock of multiple breeds. Seth stressed structural integrity first and foremost. Thank you, Seth, for a job well done—Ross would be proud. Chester White breeders had strong representation in Hog College Row. In the grand slam drive, a gilt bred by Parkison & Rodibaugh was in strong contention to win a bat, being one of four the committee pulled back out before making their final selection. Sired by last year’s Hog College grand slam winner, AG7 Bat Boy 42-6, she came from an outstanding litter that included the champion gilt at the Indiana State Fair and the top-selling gilt in their spring pig sale. With numerous extremely productive sows behind her, this long fronted, stout, muscular, bold ribbed, and flexible female has all the makings of being a true generator. Arnett Bros., Illinois, agreed, making her top-selling at $3,000. Parkison & Rodibaugh brought along a sidekick for their Hog College Gilt and the February daughter of 7 Heavy Duty 8-3 was named champion, selling for $1,300 to Mercedes Schulz, Wisconsin, to start her Chester program. A solid skeleton with even toes, big in her rib cage, and flexible made her a worthy champion. Armstrong Genetics took home reserve honors with an AG5 Banjo 55-9. This gilt had an excellent underline, was bold in her rib, and had a good, extended look. Schulz also bought her for $500. Welcome to the Chester breed, Mercedes. The class 3 winner was shown by Callie Mae Brink ,Riverside, Iowa, with a AJBL6 Bluegrass 265-6 daughter. She was loose spined, feminine, and had an excellent side profile. Placing second in class 1 behind the champion was Nathan Arnholt with a wide, long hipped, functional gilt with a good hind leg. Second place in class 3 was the Krebs Family, Wisconsin. This Jack In The Box gilt was stamped with his look of being a powerhouse with a massive center body. Class 2 proved to be the deepest class of the Chester division with two more gilts finding new homes. Ummel’s Bluegrass gilt sold to Paul Ahlden for $600. Placing second, she had good toes and abundant top shape. William Bartholomaus, North Dakokta, selected the Neil Albertson gilt recognizing the strong maternal traits bred in for many generations. Congratulations to Ummel Farms, Cooksville, Illinois, for being the Hog College Chester Boar selection. Rodney’s boar represented the best of what Chester White herd sires should do. This 6 Jackhammer 10-7 son is a beast. Combining two of the nation’s most successful recent sires in Hill Jack and First Take he is one stout and powerful individual. He possessed a huge muscular top and rump with big feet and forearm. Add that to his extended front end and attractive head, this is one solid herd boar in the making. Neil Albertson made him top selling at $1,500. The second class of boars proved to be the one with the heat as the champion and reserve surfaced here. Champion honors went to Armstrong Genetics with a 4 Hill Jack 19-2. Long strided, huge legs, and fat toes was how Seth described him. Travis Williamson, Iowa, will give

him a chance. The reserve boar was exhibited by Norman Bros., Illinois. The KASS6 Adios 3-1 son was tall fronted and long necked, giving him an excellent show ring presence. Combine that with a loose spine and superior soundness made him a worthy reserve. Kaufman Farms, Iowa, was the successful bidder on this one. Winning class 1 was an athletic boar exhibited by Randy & Becky Schmidt, Iowa. Good build and sound with muscle best describe this P&R6 Fireworks 15-1 son. M.D. Ideus, Illinois, had a big he-man boar in second with an impressive 1.93 WDA. Fast growing, big framed and stout and bold ribbed made him look the part. While light in numbers the show was heavy in quality. Thank you again Seth Ebert, you can judge for us again real soon. Thank you to all who helped in the ring. Thanks as always to Julie and Rhonda for managing the office and a special thank you to Team Purebred coordinator Dakota Moyers for running the Facebook Live. Good luck with fall breeding and we will look forward to seeing you at the Fall Classic.

Congratulations to all HEREFORD exhibitors on a successful state fair season.

PHENOTYPIC ACRES, INC.

Quality over Quantity

It has never been a numbers game at Hyland Farm. The Poland China breed has always been close to our hearts and quality is of utmost importance. We love to look at good animals and a Poland China who has great breed markings, is long bodied, structurally correct, and with extra muscularity, is stout boned, and well-built and sound gets our attention every time. Then, we tie in growth, reproductive efficiency, sow productivity, disposition and consistency—yes, that is the Hyland philosophy. If you want old school quality and professional service from a purebred breeder who cares about your success, give us a call.

As a method of looking into the future and developing the highest-performing Berkshires for soundness and durability, maternal characteristics, growth rate, carcass composition, and overall meat-eating quality traits over the last 20 years, we have concentrated on developing 6 genetic lines. These 6 genetic lines have all continued to improve in the above production area mentioned, with extremely high predictability and consistency in all the traits evaluated. This has all been made possible because of our 46 years of extensive in-herd performance testing and the use of STAGES and the National Progeny Test (NPT). In the meat-eating quality traits of tenderness, juiciness, and flavor, along with color and marbling in the NPT, boars from all 6 lines are all highly ranked and represented. In the STAGES program evaluation, durability, maternal, growth and remaining carcass characteristics, we have herd boars ranked as high as 113.6 for SPI, 122.7 for MLI and 134.6 for TSI. In our sows we have sows with SPIs of 130, MLIs of 141.2 and TSIs of 127.7. If you have a need for high-performing hogs, please give us a call. Pictured is one of our current herd sires with an outstanding set of performance records.

OCTOBER-NOVEMBER 2018

An Austin to Remember 2018 NBS® Spotted Hog College Boar We were humbled to have bred and exhibited this exciting JMO7 Luke 12-2 x 4 Bad Ink 10-3 son who was sold at the 2018 National Barrow Show®. In our 60-plus years of breeding Spotted hogs, this boar likely was the best one to ever grace our feeding floor. Appreciated by all for his flawless structure, muscularity, width of skeleton, frame size, maturity and general build and design, we have unlimited confidence that Roger Caltrider, Iowa, made a great $1,700 purchase. We at Raasch Farms appreciate the confidence that the CPS staff had in making this selection and we will continue our unwavering commitment to making the next generation better. We never follow the fads, we will always follow the FACTS: production, balance, growth, soundness, and fertility!!!

2018 NBS® Reserve Champion Spotted Gilt This JMO7 Luke 12-2 x RF4 Truck 3-8 daughter is built like we love them—tall shouldered but balanced, stout boned but maternal, great on her feet and legs with ample frame and grow to be a long-lasting Spotted sow. Thanks again to Roger Caltrider for selecting this female to build with. Thanks also to Stateline Genetics for buying this gilt’s littermate boar at NBS® for $1,000.

2018 NBS® 2nd Class 2 Boar This LOOS7 Cowboy 22-5 x RF5 Loose Canon 3-3 son had no equals at Austin for his looseness of design, feet size, rib shape, ease of growth and mobility. An extra heavy structured boar who will breed true and consistent, he sold to Dan Wanous, Minnesota.

2018 NBS Premier Exhibitor Why we do what we do . . . At Raasch Farms, it really is a family affair. Pigs come and go as does the money and the banners. Creating family lifelong memories is our goal every morning and of course providing quality show pigs and seedstock for our customers. The 2018 NBS® was truly memorable spending it with our CPS and Spotted family but also with the Raasch and Miller crew. Fall 2018—breed them better and let’s make memories together.

See you in Duncan with additional predictable Raasch Spotted Genetics.
