: Berk Boar 6-6 Walter 6-6 is a close resemblance of his dad–Walter. He is heavy boned with wide-spread toes. He is correct on his angles and motors extremely well on all four. He is tall-fronted with a long level top. He has big blades and hams. This guy is a herd boar dream! An extra bonus is that this guy was fed zero Paylean. He is 100% natural muscle. He is a 3/4 sib to King Indy, and we are excited about the gilts this guy could generate. 2014 Hog College Nominee 1st in Class, 3rd Overall, and Highest Selling Berkshire Boar at the 2014 Iowa State Fair

: Unplugged the heat lamp in the morning as I didn’t think she was going to pig. Went in at noon, no pigs. Went in to do night chores, she was all done. This is the way we like to farrow our sows.

: This 20-2 boar was having a fit across the fence as I was having a problem getting an OLD school son to breed her. So I let him in and he did the job. This guy’s dad had Fast Lane on both sides of his pedigree, and has Peter Ladd on both sides of his mother’s side. He is going to stay here and become part of our program.
