Last fall when I took a call from Florida I never expected it to be a totally unrelated Meitner calling about pigs! I’m sure glad I took that call and sent a barrow out of our best sow to Alli. I have never personally met this young woman but I have seen the hard work she puts in and she is exactly the kind of kid we love working with!

The barn will be closed on Saturday for the Northern Exposure pig sale. Sunday morning we will re load the chip barn with the mid to late January set. This set includes Yorks, Spots, Chesters and crosses. Some of our best pures are in this age group perfect for state fair and fall shows.

8-6 and 8-1 Light Cross Barrows
Repo x Beast Mode

We are hauling a pair of light cross barrows to Mason City on Saturday that we are extremely excited about. Their mom has quickly risen to the top of the sow herd and this litter out of Repo might be her best yet. These pictures are far from professional and are what the kids and I could manage to get after I got home from work today. If you want to play in the light cross division I highly recommend coming to Mason City on Saturday and seeing these things in person.

Mom has raised:

Champion Overall market hog at Mitchell County in 2024 and 2025

Reserve Champion commercial gilt at Mitchell County in 2024 and 2025

Champion lightweight and 3rd overall cross barrow at Houston County in 2025

Champion lightweight barrow Allamakee county in 2025

5th overall barrow 2025 Rumble on the River

No I dont offer Berk gilts like this to the public very often. As we were picturing tonight my kids all thought I had lost my mind and maybe I have but this sale is special to me.

💰💰No we are not a VIP breeder but any purebred we sell this spring that wins their division at any state fair we will personally give the exhibitor $500 and reserve in division will get $250.💰💰

We are 8 days away from opening up the barn! First 20 are on chips and the next group will head to the chips in the next few days.

A few reminders as we head into our sale season.

-please schedule a time to come see the pigs, my work schedule is pretty full and Chanslee will be wrestling for another month yet.

-if you plan on leaving your pigs at my place the first 7 days is free, after that it’s $10/hd/day unless prior arrangements are made

-all pigs are considered for sale unless paid for, I have been burned on people saying they would buy one and come back for it and they never do and I could have sold it ten times

- the only sale we will be participating in is the Northern Exposure sale, everything else will be sold off the farm

It’s an incredible set of pures and crosses and we can’t wait to show them to you!

The sow herd is a bit smaller than in past years but it has allowed the kids and I to focus on the sows that we needed to. We might have farrowed a few less litters but it’s looking like we will have the same number of pigs to sell and it’s by far the best set of pigs farrowed here!

The Anderson kids have driven a lot of pigs out of our barn over the years. One thing I know for sure is when a pig leaves our barn and heads to the Anderson’s it has the absolute best home it can get. Year after year the Anderson kids hang banners with pigs out of our barn and I am so grateful to get good ones in their hands! Jeff and Tina have been good friends since our Iowa State days and they are raising some great young people!
