SDF Bold Ruler
SDF Secretariat X SDF Truck
Semen $100/dose

Bold Ruler is a very balanced, complete and fault free boar. He is perfect in his frame size and length of body for today's modern show pig. He is ideal in his structure being free and easy in his movement, heavy in his bone, big in his foot size and perfect in his foot placement with his legs out on the corners. Bold Ruler shows good muscle shape down his top, is bold and deep in his rib, square and wide in his hip and carries the width down square to the ground. If you want to show champions they must be sound and they must be complete- Bold Ruler can do that for you.

SDF Meatmaker
SDF Meatpacker X Showboat
Semen $100/dose

Meatmaker was going to be our 2011 Duncan entry until he came up lame at the last moment. This was very disappointing as I thought he was perhaps the best boar we had produced since PI R Squared. However that one day of disappointment now means we have a powerful new herd sire that will see heavy use on our farm. Meatmaker combines the true natural width, soundness and muscling of the Meatpacker line with the massive bone and foot size of the Showboat-Freak Show line. Although this picture was taken after six weeks of limited feeding you can see the boldness of his hip and shoulder, the correctness of structure and the massive bone and foot he possesses.

SDF True Blood
SDF Secretariat X SDF Envy
Semen $100/dose

We are really excited about the siring ability of True Blood as he is the result of mating Secretariat back to his mother. This boar was raised on slats until he was five months old yet he is sound as a cat and carries a lot of muscle. He is deep and opened up in his rib, his legs are on the corners and he has a lot of dimension through his hip. His littermate sister was our $3000 top selling gilt at the 2011 NSR Extravaganza and another was our top selling gilt in our spring pig sale. We will use this boar a lot.

SDF Bold Statement
SDF Secretariat X SDF Square D
Semen $100/dose

Bold Statement is extreme in every way. He is an extremely big footed, heavy boned boar that is opened up through his base and center rib. He is level down his top and rump and has a lot of width and dimension through his hip. One thing I find very interesting about this boar is his flex in his rear pasterns. This is a trait his whole litter has and is something desperately needed in the modern show hog. His littermate sister was a first place gilt at the NJSA Summer Spectacular in Louisville and I plan to keep three other littermate gilts as well.

Workbench
Yorkshire
Benchmark X Checkmate
Semen $100/dose

Butt and bone. We purchased Workbench to add these two things to our Yorkshire program and you can tell by these pictures we don't think he will disappoint us. Workbench looks like a crossbred boar in his muscling but is massive in his bonework and athletic in his movement. If you want to change your Yorkshires in muscling or bone you should give Workbench a try. He is sired by Benchmark the McLemore boar at A Cut Above and his dam is sired by the Cobb herd boar Checkmate.

Dinger
Crossbred
Zinger X Immortal 76-1
Semen $75/ dose

Dinger was a first place boar at the 2011 National Barrow Show shown by Forsyth Brothers. We purchased him for his extreme muscling, natural width and athletic movement. So many boars are wide because they are fat but we appreciated Dinger for his natural body dimension and muscling in a correct package. He is sired by Zinger the reserve champion boar at the 2010 WPX housed at LVS. His mother is a littermate to Super Duty at SGI and his grandmother is the mother of Classic Steal at Duelms.

SDF Big Deal
Hampshire
The Real Deal X Titleist

This is one good Hampshire boar. Big Deal is a super sound, correct made boar that is massive in his bone and skeleton. He is level in his top and hip, blown open in his center rib and wide based both front and rear. So many Hampshires are strong in one area and weak in another but this boar is the whole complete package: sound, heavy boned, correct, heavy muscled. Big Deal is sired by The Real Deal (Unreal X Sweat Tea) who was the $8,500 reserve champion boar at the 2010 SWTC shown by Cox and Craft and his mother is sired by Titleist who is a Cain boar owned by Jim Grimm.
