Bottoms Up!

WTX 1 UP x Walk The Dog sonBred by Mauck Show Hogs

Stress: Neg EN:5-3 Reg#: 124669003

PBG is very pleased to introduce BOTTOMS UP! our WTX 1 Up x “Walk The Dog Son” - $30,000 Top-Selling STC purchase from Mauck Showhogs. Like Perfect Storm with the Polands last year, 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 gor-geous 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.

Bottoms Up is off to a great start siring many of the top-selling prospects this spring highlighted by Mauck’s 3 littermate gilts which sold for $12,000, $10,750, & $6250 as well as Cole Genetics $4000 gilt.

Different Strokes x Making HistoryBred 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 Na-tional 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.

Kentucky Lovin’ x Dead Or Alive x What Else's LittermateBred 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.Champion Berkshire & 6th Overall Gilt Indiana State Fair 4HChampion Berkshire Gilt Illinois State Fair 4HChampion Berkshire Gilt Iowa State Fair 4HChampion Berkshire Barrow Missouri State Fair OpenChampion AOB California State FairChampion Dark AOB TJLA Belt Buckle - Both rings$27,000 2nd Top-selling boar STC.

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.

We have been very pleased to hear great reports on Heat Stroke babies in the SW this summer & fall including the $2500 Reserve & 4th Place Weanling gilts @ Duncan. These gilts were Heat Stroke on SuperFly’s littermate sister who stood 2nd @ San Angelo.

Shotgun Wedding x Bar None x Man In BlackBred 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-front-ed 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.

So Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand- Superman’s Dam)Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires

Stress: Neg EN: 6-3 Reg#: 120804003

So Fly is our SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Super-man’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 genera-tion. Many have asked where to go to replace SuperFly. SO FLY is our strong recommendation!

Too Fly

SuperFly x Walk The Dog (Houston Grand - Superman’s Dam)Bred by & Owned with Jones & Bennett Berkshires


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. Pre-dictability out of this line is growing with each generation.

AC/DC x Kindergarden CopBred by Schmaling Bros Berkshires

Purchased from & Owned with Harlan ReidStress Negative EN 3-4 Reg# 11089004

TNT had a tremendous run in 2013 with Champion Berkshire & 3rd Overall Gilt @ Team Purebred Nationals; WPX 3rd Overall Berkshire Barrow & 4th Overall Berkshire Gilt; Reserve Barrow @ InSF 4-H; Champion Berkshire Barrow & Gilt Missouri State Fair Open, Reserve Champion Berkshire Gilt Missouri State Fair 4H, Champion Berkshire Gilt Missouri State Fair 4H, & Champion AOB Gilt Kansas State Fair. TNT was purchased as a mature boar from Harlan Reid as we loved the extension, look, and design he was putting into his off-spring. TNT did not disappoint as he had another great summer in 2014 as he goesback-to-back with Champion Gilts @ Team Purebred Nationals. This year he produced the Champion AND Reserve Berkshire Gilts that went on to be named 3rd & 5th Overall. TNT also sired the Champion WPX Open show gilt.

TNT is off to a great start in 2015 with 5th Overall @ TP Southwest Regional and Reserve Gilt @ Belton


Rush Hour x HeartbreakBred 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.

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, Champi-on & 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.

Light ‘Em Up x King - $27,000 WPX Res. Overall Gilt

Bred by Jackson Showpigs

Stress: Neg EN: 19-8 Reg#: 355174008

PBG is proud to introduce LIGHTS OUT. Light ‘Em Up x King son private treaty purchase from Jackson Showpigs. 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 fami-ly.

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.

Lights Out

171 - 855 - PBG - PIGS

One of our prime objectives last summer was to bring a GREAT Duroc to PBG. We had heard reports and saw videos of lots of really good red ones heading to WPX and the show did not disappoint in our opinion and WISE GUY was one of the key reasons we thought the show was stout. It took $30,000 to get it done but we were thrilled to be able to load WISE GUY onto the trailer and bring him home. We think he has all the tools to have a major impact in the Duroc breed.

WISE GUY draws you in with his powerful but extended head and neck and how he explodes into a massive rib and ripped top and stifle in a very sound and functional package. Then he turns to come at you and he absolutely blows you away with an incredible chest floor that runs perfectly true all the way to the ground with toes dead square at every corner. Simply put, we think he combines power, style and correctness that few have done and makes him an extremely unique breeding piece to produce winning showstock that will have the longevity to improve the Duroc breed for several generations.

Time seems to have a way of sorting the pretenders from the contenders - we are very confident WISE GUY will prove to be a very WISE investment from the legendary herd of GUY Jackson. Wise Guy absolutely stamped his off-spring big chested, and very structurally correct.

His first crop produced Morgan Wagner’s multi-time Grand Overall Gilt in Michigan as well as Albright’s Class-winning boar @ WPX. Probably the most impressive impression we would take from Wise Guy’s first crop is that he produced a ton of very high quality show gilts that could compete at a na-tional level and have the appearance of gilts that can become foundation sows in the future.

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. Below is what the Cobbs posted on their site about Beyond:

“Simply Put: ONE OF THE VERY BEST HOGS WE HAVE EVER BRED OR EVER SEEN!!! He is truly a SPECIMEN!!! Massive everywhere, yet still with balance, design, and extreme correctness to his structure! This guy is a truly heavy struc-

tured herd sire and still reads with a youthful skeleton and great maturity pattern! WE ARE BREEDING A BUNCH TO BEYOND!!!”

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 is off to a great start siring several high dollar prospects and generating great reports from many of the elite breeders in 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!!!

Bone Collector x Super MonsterBred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family

Stress: Negative

Visionary 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 was Aaron's favorite of the pair as he combines power in an awesome show barrow look. The Cobbs posted the following on their site about Visionary: “WE READ THIS ONE AS A SHOW BARROW SIRE SUPREME!!! He is incredibly square! He is incredible heavy boned! He’s tremendous in his hip and rear leg! I mean perfect! His hip design and the squareness of his hock is so key!!! He is going to be a true CHANGER and FIXER in our opinion!!!

Andrew Hodges showed Visionary’s littermate barrow to 1st place in the youngest class at WPX. We truly believe Visionary can take showpigs to a whole new level of combining stoutness and agility. Many talk about

where we are going - we think with Visionary we have already seen the future - and it is a very cool sight to see!!! Visionary has produced the 3 highest selling on-line crossbred prospects to date this spring as well as several of the top-ten selling prospects. Pictured are Cobb’s $18,500 & $18,000 barrows, Weisinger’s $14,000 Gilt & Brinning’s $10,500 Gilt.

Visionary stamps them cool, correct, monster-legged, and colored up.

Franchise is our Creature x Bear x Supermonster on a Supermonster x Vin-tage 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.

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

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.

Stress Negative

PBG is very proud to introduce “WALKS ALONE”. Bred by Ramsey Showpigs (breed-ers 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.

Bone Thug x Shoot EmBred 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. We were hoping we would find a Thug son this summer that had that freaky and powerful front end. We ended up finding him much sooner than we had hoped. Certainly a very different and very cool design for a Bone Thug son.

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)

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 & Col-lector 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.

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.


Bone Collector x Legacy x Major FeatBred by Lawyer Showpigs - Purchased from Chris Postier

Stress Negative

Massive everywhere with his daddy's style and design. Bone Chill's mother raised the Solo-mon gilt that was Reserve Cross and 3rd Overall @ the 2011 InSF and is consistently one of the top producers for the Lawyer's.

Easily one of the most impressive boars we rill out for visitors and we repeatedly hear com-ments that the picture of Chill does not do him justice and that he ranks in the very top group of boars they have seen. The softest most massive of our Bone Collector trio with the same impeccable structure and style. Bone Chill babies have been a mix of belted & blues and is

siring towards a black / chrome boar. Most importantly they are STOUT & WIDE & GOOD - probably throwing the most bone of any boar we offer.

Bone Chill had a very good run winter 2013 with a class-winning boar @ the NSR WTC, Reserve Heavy Barrow @ Geor-gia National, Class-winning & 6th Place Hamp Barrows @ Houston & putting 2 gilts in the San Angelo STARS gilt sale. Chill had several great wins this past summer including Samuel Diehm’s $37,000 record selling gilt at the Crossbred Classic, Larame Boysen’s Iowa FFA Reserve & $9400 Top-selling Gilt, and numerous Grand Overalls @ county fairs and jackpots. Chill continued his run into the fall with Watson’s $20,000 Chill son @ Duncan.

Change Up

Changer x (Grimm’s Gem x Head On) - Full Strut’s DamBred 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.

It is interesting to see how tours kind of follow the same pattern. As the Heimer boars have been in the isolation area, they are typically the last to be shown. Many times the note pads and pens are being put away by that time. Almost every tour the pad comes right back out when we roll Change Up out of his pen. 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 this summer and his semen is priced way below others because of that. But, we can assure you lots of elite breeders have plans for Change Up on their breeding schedule this fall.

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.


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) Dis-trict(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.

Smoke Show Thug Luv

Bone Thug x No Fare x Daytripper (Grimm Yorkshire)Bred by Goss Livestock

Stress: Negative

PBG is very proud to introduce THUG LUV- Bone Thug x No Fare son purchased from Goss Show-pigs. We had been talking to the Goss Family about the pair of Bone Thug sons they had out of lit-termate No Fare sows. When we lost Thug we knew we had to get this pair snapped up and we are thrilled we did.

We think Thug Luv combines the best of Bone Thug & No Fare and has a strong resemblance to his maternal grand-sire - No Fare. Add more top shape, more bone, & more extension to Bone Thug and that is where we see Thug LUV. For those wanting to use Thug but were afraid to use him on the ultra-moderate power gilts , we think Thug Luv is the perfect option.

We hated losing Thug but we are certainly thrilled to be able to offer this pair of Thug sons that we are extremely confident can pick up where Thug left off.


Hit Man

Bone Thug x Monster PipeBred by & Owned with Weisinger Farms

Stress: Negative

We are very proud to introduce HITMAN the youngest (1st of February) member of the Weisinger "Gang of 4" we purchased just prior to WPX. Bone Thug x Monster Pipe stress negative son that we are thrilled to have

in the boar barn.

Nate & Sarah weren't real keen on letting this one go early as they told us they really enjoyed going out to the barn every night to look at him. We were finally able to get him bundled into the package and will certainly admit it is very fun to get him out and study him every day,

Freak on a leash but complete and can handle it. We love this young thug. HITMAN's littermate barrow and gilt sold for $7000 & $5000 earlier this spring. Two if his littermate barrows have won Grand Overall titles so far this summer.

Many thanks again to Weisinger Farms for working with us to get Hitman, Assassin, Sniper & Hired Gun laid into PBG.

Hit Man Hired Gun

Bone Thug x Johnny MonsterBred by Weisinger Farms

Stress: Negative

HIRED GUN is our Bone Thug x Johnny Monster son from Weisinger Farms. It has been fun to watch the littermates to many of our boar purchases go on to be very successful this summer. Hired Gun certainly falls into that category as well as his littermate sister was very successful on the Illinois circuit prior to grabbing 5th Overall gilt honors @ WPX. She then went on to win Grand Overall Gilt honors @ the Iowa Circuit Grand Finale.

It is very fun to be able to roll this guy out for boar viewings. Powerfully fronted - but a very cool head and neck rolls back into a huge blade and keeps on rolling back thru a monster top and big ole rump. All on an ideal and MASSIVE set of wheels.

Hired Gun wins the “You have to re-picture him” award this summer as we are told frequently he is much better than his picture. Specifically the size of his front legs just do not read thru well on photos. THEY ARE HUGE.


Bone Thug x Claim To FameBred 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.With numerous Thug sons now in stud, the most frequent question we get is - Which one is best? We are absolutely thrilled with all of them and it truly is dependent on how you need to breed them, but ASSASSIN will most certainly be in the top trio of all of our lists. This guy is flat-out incredible in our opinion.

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

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.

Fame Monster x Super 8Stress Carrier - Bred by & Owned with Desert Showpigs

Judge Jason Hirschfeld described this guy as being a “creature” - and we thought that was a perfect description – unfortunately that name is taken! This guy is WAY out there in bone, width and muscle and we said if he throws that into his babies – it will be really fun to watch. Not for the faint of heart – he is a MONSTER!

Monster Quest has been a visitor favorite and his first litters are on fire in California and his babies have been reported as barn favorites at many of our customers this Spring. The customer list on Monster Quest has some of the most elite herds in the country and that list is growing quickly as word spreads. Many said last year they had to breed at least one to him so they wouldn’t look like an idiot if he hit.

Well – It looks like he is hitting – GRAND SLAMS!!! HUGE bone and can handle it and brings an awesome look along with it. Partial list of winners to date.. Grand Market Hog KY State Fair, Grand Gilt Cow Palace, Grand Barrow Alabama State Fair. $5100 Class-winning boar Fall Classic. Champion Prospect & Reserve Overall Western Bo-nanza, Reserve Progress Barrow – Western Bonanza & numerous Grand Overall Jackpot titles.

Monster Quest continued to be RED HOT in 2014 with Champion Boar @ WTC & Re-serve & $25,000 Top-Selling Boar @ Belton & Class-winning Hamp @ Arizona Nation-al. Monster Quest has earned his place as one of the VERY ELITE sires in the nation.

Monster Quests prolific winning with Grand Overall Gilt Cow Palace and numerous grands & reserves at the very competitive California County fairs. 2015 has started off well again for MQ as he continues to roll up wins.

Rush Hour

Mental Rush x (No Fare x Warfare) Bred by & Owned with Goss Livestock

Stress Carrier

MASSIVE MASSIVE MASSIVE with as stout and impressive a skull as you can put on one. RUSH HOUR brings power everywhere you study him and yet ties it together in a complete and functional package. We think freak on a leash best describes what makes a sire a great one for us and RUSH HOUR fits that description very, very well. The fact that he spices things up with some color is a very nice bonus to be able to offer our customers.

It seems like 4 has been a common number this year as we added the Weisinger "Gang Of Four", the Cobb "Fantastic Four" and now Rush Hour joins Thug Nation, Trust Fund & Rap Sheet to complete the Goss "Phenomenal Phour".

As we have had the chance to view and visit with these firms, there is clearly one common thread be-hind the way they each approach breeding showpigs - sow power that has been built for many gener-ations emphasizing structural correctness to the point of obsession. Each of these boars are the result of many years studying females from the ground up and hording great females like they are the Hope diamond.

If you need to blow them apart & stouten them up and want to get some color in your babies - we offer Rush Hour to get you in the fast lane and to your final destination - in a hurry.

Bone Thug x Solid MonsterBred by & Owned with Goss Livestock

Stress: Negative

PBG is very proud to introduce 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.

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-

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 per-fectly, 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.

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.

Shark Tank x Bad Cat’s littermate puts mass and structure and soundness all into one very impressive Landrace boar. What makes JAWS a great fit for us is that we think he is a perfect compliment to Bad Cat phenotypically.

The Vickrey’s believe JAWS can have as much impact as any they have produced to date.

Awesome in his design and angles we see Jaws as a great fit for powerful Landrace show gilt mommas.

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.

Titleist is our $7500 Private Treaty purchase from the Sandall Family. Stress Negative son of Dang Good Hog on an Unstoppable dam. Littermate to the gilts that did very well on the 2013 circuit for the Sandalls and sold for $4500 to Hirschfeld privately and JR Armstrong purchased the other for $1600 at the STC. The only downside to buying Perfect Storm was our concern that no matter how hard we tried he will overshadow one of the better Poland boars we have seen in a while in Titleist. We knew from his video he was impeccable in his structure. The way he reaches and grabs the ground on his back two is pretty rare in the Poland breed in our opinion.

What we didn't know from the video was that he would be bringing the massive top and rib that he has. This guy can absolutely float all day and has an up-headed look-at-me presence. Don’t miss out on one of the most uniquely sound yet powerfully attractive Polands we have seen for a LONG time.

Following the trend of a great female behind them, Titleist is out of the Unstoppable gilt Hayden pur-chased from ASI that was 3rd Overall @ Springfield and Champion Poland & Reserve Overall Gilt @ Nebraska State Fair 4-H. Titleist consistently sires power and muscle on an up-headed package. Hayden Sandall pulled a Reserve Overall with his Titelist gilt on the Nebras-ka circuit and Titleist sired the Reserve Gilt Iowa FFA

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.

Not a ton of folks got see Ferrari as he got here very late last fall so he was used very lightly last fall. But in VERY few litters Ferrari produced the Champion Tamworth Barrow, the 4th Overall Tamworth Barrow, & the 5th Overall Tamworth Gilt @ Team Purebred Nationals .

Monster legged, blown open with a barrel rib, excel-

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 Re-

gional, & the Champion Barrow & Reserve Gilt Weanlings @ Duncan. Reports are consistent that he is

Doc Logan x Mighty Mack 74-1Bred by Ricker Yorkshires

EN 76-6 Reg# 544486006

Cloud 9 is our $60,000 2013 WPX purchase from Ricker Yorkshires. Very intriguing in his combination of a powerful yet extended head and neck. Massive in his top and chest and all wrapped up in a very correct structure with a hip design that is nearly perfect in our judgment. If you’re tired of Yorkshires that have a speed-bump-like ham-loin junction we aren’t sure we have seen many that we think can fix that faster than C9. Add the backing of the elite Ricker Showpigs Yorkshire herd and going back the Mighty Mack 74-1 line makes us feel really good about his predictability. It seems like showpigs that can bring extension along with tremendous power thru their front ends AND carry that power all the way thru are sorting to the top pretty quickly. We think CLOUD 9 combines that as well as any Yorkshire we have seen in a long, long time. We think he will be able to make a huge splash in the showpig world and produce breeding stock to influ-ence several generations. We think CLOUD 9 can help make your dreams come true.

What we are hearing so far on Cloud 9’s is that their structure is impeccable, they will start off green and then they will come on like a freight train. Cloud 9 has had a very good summer and is even more popular in person and in orders than he was in his first season. He is passing on his impeccable structure and is stamping his off-spring with an ability to handle a tremen-dous amount of width and top shape. Cloud 9 had an especially good showing @ WPX as he sired the 3rd Overall Yorkshire Gilt, the 4th Overall Div 1 Gilt, & the 5th Overall Div 3 gilt in the junior show. In the WPX Open show Cloud 9 sired the Reserve & $7000 2nd top-selling gilt.

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. Mas-sive 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.

We were hoping to do a major upgrade to our Yorkshire line-up this summer. Now that The Proph-et, White Rhino, & Invite Only have joined Cloud 9 we feel very confident we have one of the elite sets of Yorkshires you will find anywhere.

Reports have been off-the charts on INVITE ONLY babies. Word is spreading fast and re-orders are rolling in!!!

THE PROPH-ET 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.

We think THE PROPHET has everything it takes to win big time and we are very excited to see what the future brings. The Prophet is off to a great start including gilts selling for $6750 & $6500. We are also hearing very good reports when used on Crossbred females.
