🐖 100% PURE OLDLINE AEAJ & HLF American Durocs 🐖
Bennie Lee on the left, Invincible on the right. Bennie Lee is a full fudge breeding I did and selected for a good friend of mine to help keep this line together and thriving.

Invincible was a 3rd generation breeding I did using pure fudge sow Questa 23-8 and landlord semen which was a boar that was created by using PD Classic frozen semen and a Fudge sow. I held back Byron 3-1 and bred him to a full fudge sow named Clean lady 9-3. Bennie Lee is probably the best son out of my Centaurian 10-5 boar. We will be searching for another one just like him for ourselves by breeding the same sire and dam of him again.

INVINCIBLE will be avalible at IBS boar stud semen farm soon but must go through Henry to obtain semen and breeding certificates. It’ll be our first of many of our breedings and selection hitting semen banks. And we will start selling semen ourselves hopefully in the beginning of 2027 without you having to go through a semen bank. But we will have both to offer to help with your Ai scheduling as I will be super busy in 2027 with a new Residential new construction company I’ll be running along with my own business.

Pictures of pork chops that both HLF Centaurian 10-5 and AEAJ Byron 3-1 have sired. Which both are the sires of Bennie Lee and Invincible.

I don’t know what you all think but I know what I feel and I feel we’ve been hitting some triples, creating some good looking boars. I won’t say I’m hitting Hrs bc I don’t have an ego 😂. End of the day they are pigs.. BUT This Boar is servicing another farm and the farmer is a good guy and we’re glad to call him a friend so we made sure we took a little extra care of making sure we choose and read the right boar for him that will only look better and better as he matures. We just don’t sell all our boars to capitalize, not all piglets should be chosen to be breeder and I promise everyone to the best of my abilities to make sure when you come to me for a Boar you will get a good one.

I don’t sell hogs that should be culled for meat. I wouldn’t want it done to me so I do not do it to others. This boar isn’t perfect (I’m honest with myself and there’s no boar perfect, something can always be better I don’t care who you think you are) but he will definitely leave his mark for the betterment of the duroc breed that he comes in contact with.

My hogs are 100% PURE 🇺🇸 TRUE OLDLINE DUROCS. No “influenced’ here, or convincing yourself an Oldline hog is truly Oldline without the contamination of Peitrain 🧬 (dna). Nothing wrong with outcrossing you just don’t know for sure what traits will pass on when you have several different genetics in one mating. Personally I like to know exactly what we will get come butcher date, nor do we risk wasting time and money investedI. We don’t want to risk getting Hogs you just end up selling or culling because the meat quality. Plus once you eat these you’ll understand it’s not going to be possible to make them taste any better than what they are currently. The Cotten candy fat and sweet extremely tender muscle will have you praising Noah for making that arch and putting some pigs on there 😂 (photos of meat in comments)

Follow and like our page and come see us when you’re ready to take your meat program to the next level. Right now we have a waiting list for the most part and people currently waiting so be sure to reach out and get on it so your not further down the list. Hopefully our expansion plans comes to fruition with lots of gilts being born of the litter coming up. We have some exciting one and some that NO ONE else has.

This is a second generation on the dam side here with our choosing and I believe he is a 3rd generation on sires side. We run Pure Fudge genetics, Some of last Harraway X Fudge registered Duroc Genetics around and all are from our choices of which matings to do and our selection of holding back to breed. We will be expanding this summer by keeping ALOT of gilts we know should be good bc we’ve already tested the breeding, we just have to hope we get enough gilts.

All in all I think we are on the right track developing very powerful Oldline boar hogs and staying on track and not veering off what is being taught from a man’s life work. (Henry). And actually understanding what is being taught. That’s the biggest thing, you can go backwards really quickly by making mistakes thinking you can just breed anything to anything for the sole purpose trying to become a breedstock seedstock breeder. Or even trying to reinvent the wheel. Also can’t wait for my Hamp X Duroc F1’s gilts.

But back to this boar, he is a good one. I’m sure it’s not everyone’s cup of tea or goals but our chops and our flavor of our Chops are second to none. I’m always down for a friendly blind test bet when it comes to the Duroc breed and pure Oldline Duroc breed. Follow the pork chop pics. I wouldn’t be able to carry this torch into the future if Henry didn’t stick with his program.

And stay tuned for our prime Hamp X Duroc F1 gilts we will also specialize in for you to create a superior pure old line f1 sow herd. By winter we should be selling a start package of 2 f1 Gilts and a boar from the best meat quality that you’ll ever taste. So don’t forget to like and follow the page so you can stay in touch. And you can call me anytime 9104768223. Let’s talk Hog. And yes podcast is still in the works I just have to finish my office setup.

These boars are some BAAAAD guys!
One of our pedigrees is lined these hogs. These boars make up father, son and grandson. Sow is the mother of two of them and the grandmother of the youngest. The first three photos are father and son. Then the one with me in the pic is the father of the boar facing left on dirt and the grandfather of the boar in wooden pen with hay on ground. The female is the mother of the first two boars. There’s a mother son breeding to create the first pic of the first boar. Part of our most important pieces recreating some awesome boars with these pedigrees right here.

Byron 3-1 on the right named after Byron defreese and his work and a picture of Yogi on the right with possibly one of the best hogs some say Byron Defreese created. This photo of Byron 3-1 was taken several months ago but as I looked at them tonight they sure do resemble one another a lot. Byron 3-1 was created from a boar that was created from frozen semen that had a lot of Byron’s work and yogi on the top side of both sides of the pedigree not to mention the amount of times it’s lined up in the mother of Byron 3-1. We just need to find the best daughters to use with Byron 3-1 to really bring out the hogs of the past. We’ve created some create females and boars with Byron but as much as I want to create that hogs that everyone can’t stop talking about is yet to be born but we are on the right track. But we have a female we’re about to use that should turn heads. She just went through her first heat cycle so she’s about to get bred to Byron 3-1 then she’ll be bred to Centaurian 10-5. I may be wrong but I think yogi was an early or mid 70’s hog.

Centaurian 20-5/10-15, Questa 23-8 daughter of IronMan1-6 and CleanLady 9-3/9-2 which come from the best daughter of Clean lady 10-4 is the back bone of our program here at Al’s Vintage Heritage Hogs. With two pieces from the same genetic baseline we’ve added as an outcross and with some Beulah genetics that we’ve brought in as well with some of the next few breedings we will have to grow some up to see where the next green hogs we will hold back into our program. Got to make sire we w**d out the counterfiets before we permanently inplement them into our seedstock. Combinations of 2/3rds youth and a 1/3 of structure type phenotype hogs I believe is where I will be able to stabilize the Oldline durocs for generations to come. Wide flat bone forearms, big tall shoulder blades, long necks with light bulb shaped heads, long front ends, tall hips, depth with flexible ribs and good udders is our main focus. I believe those things are the most important as I talk with all the old timers and my mentor Henry, those are all the things they all repeat over and over when they describe the hogs and hogs that they choose for their programs. Yes they have difference of opinions on the countless other aspects and phenotypes but I’m confident in my observance that these are the most important when we talk about phenotypes. Then the obvious when it comes to females that they need to be easily bred, good nest builders, farrow without assistance, wean what they give birth to, be heavy milkers, learn to be gentle when laying down and calling out to their piglets when milk is being let down. Boars need to have high testosterone and be eager to breed, good semen count, healthy s***m (no spiral tails, kinked tails, no stubbed tails, and no more than 15-20% of sub par or dead s***m in one collection). We want boars to be loose in his bone/flexible and loose in his skin. I’ve also seen a correlation with the good hogs that everyone chooses and thats is they are loose in their skin in the bottom half of the hog in particularly, I’m not sure if this is something to study but I will be keeping and eye on it because it does seem to be going hand in hand with everyone’s Oldline seedstock that have been good contributors. Trial and error is where it will be with me and I’m fine with that because being in the construction business my entire life my best work and greatest knowledge come from those situations. Some ideologies say I know nothing, I’m listening to the wrong people and have asked what have I’ve done to contribute so far, my answer is, see me in 10 years and well go over the entire list. Stay the course, sort through animals and never break away from the perfect balance of youth and structure. I’m a firm believer from everything I’ve learned the last 7 years is that the youth in these Oldline durocs is what brings out the best meat quality. The faster maturing hogs are pretty to look at but seems to go a step back in the meat quality. With all that being said I’m talking about seedstock not production side of the business. For production with high heterosis pigs we take our heavily line bred seedstock and outcross it to other Oldline breeds for that explosion in heterosis and the faster maturing hogs growing terminal meat hogs that go to market.
