Introducing. . . .
40-6
Sunrise x Karma x Rockstar x Best Man (Wedding Night's sister)
Bred by Morgan Genetics
40-6 has been a California resident for a few months now and it's time to introduce him to the public! He was our online 50% purchase from Kurt Morgan two falls ago and he remained at Kurt's where we've used him hard the last two years. After seeing how good his pigs were (again!) Mark told me to let Kurt know we want him here in Colusa and Kurt made it happen.
It's no secret that Morgan Genetics boars have worked well in our program, from the Wedding Night days up until present day and that has never changed! One of our very favorite show barrows last year was Emma Dennis' 3rd Overall Light Cross at CYAE that winds up Reserve Grand at Final Dive Jackpot 3 weeks later and he was sired by 40-6. While we have not ever fully turned this guy loose across our program, the 40-6 sired litters across EVERY SET that we've had have risen to the top and as I write this, my very favorite gilt up in the show barn is once again sired by this guy.
For those who can appreciate pedigrees you'll understand why we bought him: there are SIX SHOTS of Wedding Night's sisters in his pedigree. I have it written out and posted to the wall in my office and it's truly an example of how to properly intensify the genetics of superior individuals in a breeding program. Well done Kurt!
40-6 will bring width, muscle, and bone to the table with a sexy blue color pattern. If you've got one that needs improved through her chest floor, he is the ideal candidate to do that in one generation. There is a TON of genetic value in this guy and we are stoked to have him working here now!
All boars are $200/dose offseason right now and they can be viewed at www.ottenwaltershowpigs.com
