I know we’re a bit of a drive from the southern states but the barn in SE Iowa is open. We cut down the number of summer litters we had this year so we don’t have as many from a straight quantity perspective but everything that’s out on the floor is available on a first come, first serve sort of thing. Pure Chesters, pure Spots, pure Yorks, a few Durocs and some more growth oriented crosses if you’re into rate of gain type of things (they’re mostly white pigs but there are a few with some different colors on there). We did not make any cross ‘show pigs’ with this crop beings it’s our offseason. They aren’t all washed up/conditioned and they’re just eating basic feed…but you’ll know exactly what you’re getting.

Between upcoming harvest and kids/grandkids schedules, the calendar is pretty well filled in from making a trip south. But if you’re up our way and want to stop by and quick look, give us a little bit of a heads up. We’re a little over an hour from either Des Moines or Iowa City. Almost everything is available and reasonably priced (a few are already spoken for but we can point those out).

**Pictures are for attention, they are not pictures of this crop - we’re really bad photographers 🤷‍♂️**

Nothing screams Iowa State Fair like washing pigs in the dark the night before 😂

We’ll have a pair of littermate That’s My Point gilts and a No Sooner sired boar. (For those of you that follow CW pedigrees, the boar doesn’t have any WD-40 in his pedigree.)

See everyone in Des Moines tomorrow!

Lots of gilts/sows being bred for winter litters…and many more will be bred in the next several weeks. If we can help you out with anything, let us know. We aren’t a boar stud by any stretch of the imagination but we do aim to house a variety of boars that we feel bring value to their respective breed. We don’t collect on a schedule, we simply collect as we need it or as people call.

CHESTER WHITE
* That’s My Point (On Point x Triple Play)

YORKSHIRE
* Never A Doubt (No Hesitation x The Closer)
* Lucky Me (Lucky 7 x Crazy Eyes)

SPOT
* Spot On 11-4 (Spot On x Big Stack)
* Double P (Wingman x Amplify)

DUROC
* Heat Index (All in One x Big Ricky)

We also have a couple production/growth oriented boars on feed if that’s more what you need.

Give us a call, send a text, or hit us up on FB if you’d like to discuss any of these guys!

Full litter of spot boars sired by Pillow Talk (who was at Shaffers) back on the sow we call Brownie (we bought her from Mike Brown at NBS a couple years ago and went with a super creative name). Brownie is pretty unique pedigree-wise for the spotted breed being very lined up without a bunch of Loud Mouth or Speak Up blood (only one shot of Loud Mouth way back in there) so we thought we’d take her to a boar that was the exact opposite and see what happens. Who knows how they’ll turn out in the end but we thought he had what she needed 🤷‍♂️

One of the last litters out of Drive By. We didn’t get all that many pigs (especially pure litters) out of him before we lost him…but the ones we had out of his two crops, he definitely made better! Who knows…maybe it’s time to make a return to Duncan 🤷‍♂️

Our fall/winter boar lineup is now complete - we don’t have a single open pen left at this point.

At the NSR Summer Spectacular, we identified a couple red boars that caught our eye on video. We made a couple calls and zero’d in on the Robinson Duroc entries. We figured if we can’t get the one, then we’ll get the littermate. We’ve bought boars from Eddie in the past that we got along great with so might as well do it again.

Sired by All In One over at 333, this guy is heavy structured - bone, tail root, foot size, blades, etc. He tracks wide and true from the ground all the way up thru his rib cage and back. And for a boar that is that powerful, he still has eye appeal.

We only have a couple red sows running around so he won’t see all that much use around here - but you buy them when you see them and figure it out later. No clue what we’ll call him yet but he’s the only Duroc boar here so that keeps it simple if you call and want bottles (once we get him up and rolling that is). Good way to end/fill the last open boar pen!

All In One x Big Ricky

**Thanks to David, Doug, Rick, and John for the eyeballs and help getting him back closer to home!

**We’ll get a better picture too - one that doesn’t have a weird fence and quite as many shadows in it

It was nice out this morning so we got the ‘little one’ of the Hahn pair out, rinsed him off quick and snapped a couple pictures.

He’s different. Everything about him is different than most of the Yorks out there. He is geeky geeky fronted, his head carriage ties in high, he’s heavy b***d, and you really need to get on top of him to appreciate the power this boar has from a muscle definition point of view. We’ve always liked these freaky athletic ones that just glide around the pen…and we always will.

NEVER A DOUBT
No Hesitation x The Closer

This is the ‘big one’ of the pair -> Lucky 7 x Crazy Eyes. We haven’t gotten a picture of the ‘little one’ yet but we will one of these days.

Our winter boar lineup is almost complete after yesterday. Casey was over in Springfield for STC and spotted this guy (yes, the lame joke was intentional) that was exhibited by the Guffey family. There was a lot of discussion around a lot of boars at the show Friday night but by about 8:30 Saturday morning we had decided that this guy was the one we needed to try and get brought back to Iowa. He’s a younger boar that gets around the ring/pen with ease. His angles are right. His muscle pattern is right on for his age. He’s wide coming and going. And he’s heavier b***d than we expected when he crawled out of the popper. On top of all that, he’s slightly different for us pedigree-wise. No clue what we’ll name him yet but he found the water and the feed so we’re already off to a good start!

Spot On x Big Stack

Not very often do we buy two boars of the same breed on the same day (not sure it’s ever happened…but the memory gets a little fuzzy over time) from the same firm (that…we know has never happened). Exposition 2026 changed both of those outcomes and we came home +2 York boars from Hahn Genetics.

The younger boar of the pair hit us hard in the ring. Yeah, he was ranted out and just learned he was a boar but he instantly caught our attention and knew our hand would be up on him at auction time. He’s got show ring appeal with a spunky upheaded attitude, yet has the sow power laid in behind him that Kent is known for. We’re really excited to see him with some fill! Pedigree reads -> No Hesitation x The Closer

The older boar, honestly, we didn’t even see him in the ring. We weren’t paying attention and had stepped away when they were showing crosses so didn’t even know he was in the barn until he was walking back to the pen. (His birthdate was too old to be in the regular York show so he showed as a cross.) Super complete, all around boar with a pedigree that is unlike most of what you’ll see these days. We bought him to make females that will lay down and have pigs at our place and at our customer’s farms. Not that he can’t make boars/barrows, but we bought him for the maternal factor and the pedigree being so different. Pedigree reads -> Lucky 7 x Crazy Eyes

We aren’t widely known as York breeders but they’re the second longest standing breed here dating back a couple decades now. We were excited to load the pair on the trailer yesterday to keep moving forward the way we want to do it! Pictures to come and semen will be available in time once they’re up and running.
