BREEDERS DIGEST
JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016 7 The best they
have ever been!
Ein
This guy knows how to sire quality. The look,
front end, balance and true correctness that
this Uno x Big Rig son consistently stamps is
unbelievable. His sons and daughters have been
extremely well received across the country. This
prepotent Chester White boar and his offspring
will no doubt play a significant role in our
future. We have an incredible set of Ein sons on
feed and have hopes that a couple get shown at
Belton in March. We are confident that several
of these boars will be retained. Additionally,
we have utilized a tremendous son of Ein x Toll
Road, called Chaser, at Showtime Sires. His first
progeny are due early winter.
Punchline
This one has made things extremely interesting
in Van Horne, Iowa. First, his progeny are very
easy to sell and customers are extremely pleased
with their development. Secondly, if you want
to make Chesters with better hips and hind legs
while keeping muscle, look, width and ideal
bone work and rib, then Punchline is the ticket.
He has tremendous sow power behind him and
we perhaps have kept as many boar prospects
out of Punchline from our August-September
farrowing group as any boar in recent years.
If you are serious about a tremendous boar
prospect, we’d love to show you what Punchline
has done here. Call for details—they will be well
accepted!
A large selection of December through early
March Chester and crossbred litters available.

WE A rE E xcitEd!!!
Dale Miller and I are excited to announce that after seven years of custom farrowing
and raising Chester Whites for Dale on our farm at Owatonna, that we are now
true partners in this great breeding program. North Star Genetics has focused on
producing high-quality Chester Whites for the show ring and the commercial producer.
This focus will remain the back bone of the operation but we also look forward to the
years ahead and where we can take this great set of genetics. Dale has built a solid
foundation and the only option is to continue to build it forward.

CERTIFIED PEDIGREED SWINE
www.cpsswine.com
Design your own road map
Through my many travels
across most parts of the
United States, I usually take
the most travelled road,
using interstate roads when
available and avoiding small
town USA. It is some what
frequent that I also choose
a different path to see a
different view. Choosing
a less travelled path often
creates conversation, adds
Jack Wall
a little variety and usually
Certified Pedigreed Swine
brings a little history
lesson with it. Sometimes
(usually) being too much in a hurry leads to bad decisions or
uninformed choices. Let’s take a look at a few examples.
Show barrows – show barrows – show barrows . . .
Why not attempt to build a sow herd that can consistently
farrow unassisted and raise 8-10 pigs
for four or more parities?
Took a pretty picture . . .
Why not search pedigrees, talk to
breeders and boar stud owners and
really determine if the boar you
need to utilize has a high probability
of looking like his photo or siring
offspring like he looks?
Building from the ground up . . .
Yes, I have heard that terminology a
lot the past 2-3 years but actually I
believed it more when it was told to
me 40 years ago. Yes, it is so important
but is it just lip service today?
Sell that pig high . . .
Online pig and bred gilt sales are plentiful almost every
day. I occasionally glance at these sales or are informed of a
particular one by breeders. Too often I find that the selling
price really did not determine ownership, as the hog was
Service and sales . . .
As a problem solver here in the office, we are challenged
too many times by customers across the country that claim
they are not getting AI certificates, breeding certificates or
transferred pedigrees in a timely manner. One would think
two phone calls to the seller, or 90 days after a sale would
be time enough to process the payment and satisfy the
customer. Are you doing your part after the sale?
Ring side observer . . .
Are you one of those who sits or stands along the fence
line of the show and sale ring and likes to criticize the
quality of the entries or criticize the judge or breed
progress? Perhaps you need to redefine your role as a show
pig or seedstock producer and document your knowledge
and skills as a breed authority. Bring out what you have
to offer and let fellow producers
critique your work of art.
“. . . I have no doubt
that hard work,
superior genetics, honest
dealings, and honest
pedigrees will get you to
your desired destination
with a pain-free
experience.”
Bone sells . . .
Yes, it certainly looks like it. However, please be cautious
as there are possibly several reasons they look that way—
age, maturity, genetics. Does it restrict function, longevity,
athleticism?
12 retained by the owner or leased (I don’t understand that
one) by the seller. Does price determine quality? I’m not so
sure about this one.
Judges of notoriety . . .
Individuals selected to judge
any livestock event—and in this
particular case, swine shows—are
asked to do so because they most
likely have some professionalism
in the field. They deserve our
courtesy and respect. They have
an opinion just like the ringside observers do . . . but they
are getting paid a little for their
opinion—you are not. At the
same time, these judges need
to be fair and honest to every
exhibitor, be fair to every animal
and give an accurate and fair
appraisal of the livestock presented before them. I would
hope in breeding stock classes that true genetic progress
and breed improvement are highest on their priority list.
Breed priorities . . .
Breeders of the CPS breeds will no doubt have their
own priorities for financial reasons. I am not going to
attempt to change your views on individual herd needs
but hopefully we can all agree that the following have
strong needs within our breeds: productive females,
BREEDERS DIGEST
boars who can breed—when asked
to breed on their own—feet and
leg correctness, industry acceptable
growth and muscle, ample length to
perform at above industry standards,
enough bone, structure and rib to
survive, function and perform in any
environment that breed, settle, farrow
unassisted, milk and wean, breed back
and equally important, transmit their
physical qualities equally or better
than their own phenotype.
There are lots of road maps and
directions you can follow and I
have no doubt that hard work,
superior genetics, honest dealings
and honest pedigrees will get you to
your desired destination with a painfree experience. Make the journey
uneventful, take a different path than
others and it will all be okay.

PISTOL – Tango x Bank Robber
A big thank you to Mays Show Pigs,
Drew Jervis and Hannah, Holden and
Hayden Miller for their selection of
this 1st class 1 boar at the Fall Classic
for $3,000. Pistol is excellent in his
soundness, balance and muscular
shape and will no doubt put these
positive traits to work for this group
of successful nationally recognized
herds.
I appreciate all of the positive
comments I received on Pistol and
I am confident in his ability to “fire

JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016 13 Chester White
Show Report
Fall Classic
Chester Whites were built right at Duncan
by Jack Wall
For those unable to attend the Fall Classic Chester White Show and Sale, I
believe you missed a high-quality set of breeding hogs that were way under
appraised by breeders in your quest for sound structured hogs that covered the
basics about as well as most of you have seen. As we have all discussed, the prefect
one has not yet been identified and most likely they did not appear at Duncan, but
in my opinion soundness, balance, the correct combination of structure, muscle,
width, and growth were prevalent in most of the boars and gilts.
The champion boar was a proven mating consigned by Shaffer Goldrush, Ind.,
being a full mating to Stone Cold out of the popular 2014 Fall Classic top seller.
This Rush Hour son won a very competitive class 1 for his heaviness of skeleton,
stoutness, width, blade, forearm and comfort level. He was a bargain for West
Texas Genetics who purchased him for $700. WHAT A BUY!!!
The reserve champion boar, exhibited by Avery Bauer, Ill., was an extremely
sound, flexible, immature, and well balanced U-Turn son winning class 2. I
certainly would have thought his extreme flexibility, soundness and look would
have stimulated a lot of interest.
A really stout, wide, heavy structured, big-footed, big-centered, massive bladed
Lackey and Peck entry sired by Robbo Cop was the winner of class 3. This boar
has a breeding hog look and certainly will contribute to the good for the Douglas
Scheefer herd for $2,400. I would keep my eyes open on the progress of this stout
rig. Thank you guys for bringing this one to Duncan.
Perry’s second in class 2 Nugget 1-3 son had few equals in terms of bone,
structure, soundness, and correctness. I liked this one quite a bit. He got a great
home with Michou Chesters, Texas, for $1,000.
Rasmussen had a pair of three-quarter brothers by Blizzard x Changing Lanes
that although were 3 ½ months apart in age, offered a lot of the same attributes.
The second class 1 boar was the day’s top seller at $2,500. He was appreciated
for his stout skull, width, correctness, squareness of build, muscle, and look. A
young boar with a good future, I believe. Purple Power now owns and houses this
youngster.
The bigger version of this mating was second in class 3. This was a big bodied,
stout constructed, long spined, flexible jointed and well-balanced boar. He also got
a great home with McLaughlin and Schmidt as a herd sire for $1,750.
In my opinion, one of the very best Chester White gilts offered for public
auction was the one Judge Brandon Ogle selected for champion female. Exhibited
by the Navarre sisters, this Hill Jack daughter can be simply described as a “good
one”. She combined skeletal size, muscularity, rib, bone, truly fault-free structure
with the ability of performance and great eye appeal. Derick McPherson made
a great $3,000 purchase with this one. The reserve champion gilt came from
the same class and was a half sister to Navarre’s champion gilt. Shown by the
Vorndarn Family, she offered true width, balance, structure, and muscle shape yet a
maternal build. Brian Bensch selected her for $2,500.
Kamryn Jones’ winner in class 2 is a daughter of Ein who has true generating
ability in my opinion. I loved her skull, stout hip, levelness and barrow look. Blake
Danner puts her in the breeding pens in Chalmers, Ind., for $1,000.
Mays and Range’s class 1 winner is a Dead Center daughter who combined
body, bone, width and blade. Jervis’ third class 3 Next Step daughter certainly
offered length, underline quality, growth of body and mass. A better Chester breed
can result from ones like this. Humphrey’s, second in class 2, Smash Hit daughter
was big bodied and stout with plenty of mass. I still cannot understand why this

trio of gilts did not find new homes.
A popular gilt was Pursley’s, second class 1, Dead Center gilt. This long
hipped, good bodied, long fronted, feminine female was Derick McPherson’s
second excellent purchase of the day for $1,000.
As we close out the books from the 2015 Fall Classic Chester White show,
I think it is truly fitting to thank Brandon Ogle for his efforts, professionalism,
beliefs, and thoughts on the breed. Thanks Brandon! As I mentioned earlier, if
you viewed the Chester White breed at Duncan, you saw a sound set of hogs with
enough muscle and structure to contribute along with looks and width, but also
hogs that will produce and grow. There were multiple hogs offered here which
can make breed contributions and the next several years will prove that.
A sincere thanks to all who assisted the CPS staff at the event and had any
contribution to a successfully conducted 2015 Fall Classic.

BREEDERS DIGEST
JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016 17 Poland China
Show Report
Fall Classic
Poland power still available in Duncan, Okla.
by Jack Wall
Depending on your needs, phenotype, preference, or genetic taste, more than likely
there was a Poland boar or gilt shown in Duncan, Okla., at the 2015 Fall Classic that
would have worked for you. A wide variety of type and kind were available which
allows for future genetic progress in the months and years ahead
Veteran seedstock producer and fellow CPS breeder Al Schminke accepted the
responsibility and task of sorting and appraising this interesting set of Poland China
boars and gilts. As we would expect, the entire set utilized sound footed, wellbalanced, muscular, yet stout hogs that had eye appeal and multiple positive traits.
Thanks, Al, for your continued support and the talent you bring to the judging arena.
The champion boar was Dillon’s class 1 Power Drive x Prefect Storm son that had
a true “breeding hog look”. He was big in his forearm, light on his feet, had plenty of
mass, structure and look with a long rump and was extremely flexible in his skeleton.
He was a popular champion that offered the breed a tremendous amount progress.
He sold to Upperhand Genetics with Reid and Collins being partners for $6,500. He
probably needs to be sampled by progressive breeders.
The reserve champion came in a different phenotype and was exhibited by Jason
Foote. This Kankles son was extremely thick ended, level rumped, long spined, lean,
shapely topped in a stress negative package. He sells to Tim Prince, Okla., for $1,000.
Middleton and Miller’s second class 1 boar was a son of Smoke Stack who was
extra complete, extra good in his top line, good footed, moderate in his build while
being stress negative. He sold to Jim Waits for $2,200. Herrin Farms’ second class 2
son of Harry has true breeding value in my opinion. There was not one with a better
skull, blade, or shape to his top line than this boar. The Masters’ third class 1 son of
Harry had lots of unique and interesting pieces. He was immature about his build,
muscular about his rump, big bladed and natural in his look. He found an excellent
home with Curtis Houy for $1,300.
A very competitive set of open gilts was exhibited and Raymond Rice’s trio of
Poland China gilts were not only extremely competitive, but also maternal, well built
and show ring ready. Rice Polands collected the champion award on their first class 2
Harry daughter. Combining a tall shoulder, extra length and femininity with excellent
look and balance, she will make a great addition for Regina Crotty for $900. Another
well built, broody, correctly designed, excellent underlined daughter of Smoke Stack,
and a littermate to the $2,200 boar shown by Middleton and Miller picks up the
reserve champion title and sells to Harman Farms for $400.
Rice’s first class 3 Harry daughter had about as great of a profile as any. I really
appreciated this one for her soundness, length of spine, stout but feminine head,
look and balance. A change in her underline a bit and she perhaps sells earlier. This
excellent female sells to Shane Eck for $1,000. The day’s top-selling gilt was Wingo’s
second class 2 daughter of I Don’t Know. Having no equal for body, bone, mass, feet,
or skull and still with a sound and muscular skeleton, this brood sow candidate sold
to Harman Farms for $2,500. Miller’s second class 3 Perfect Storm daughter was yet
another good bodied, feminine and stout headed female.
I think the Poland female show was quite good and deep yet diversified and
numerous other Poland China females offered considerable genetic and phenotypic
herd improvement. Let’s see what these astute Poland China breeders can do with
them in future generations. Sincere thanks to the CPS staff, breeder volunteers
and others who assisted with the Poland China show and sale—your efforts where
definitely noticed. Thanks again to all.

Did You Know?
PHENOTYPIC ACRES, INC.
As we contemplate the future of pork production, it is quite clear that hogs must be quite complete in
their overall makeup so as to provide for enterprise sustainability. This requires that hogs be and have:
1. Structurally correctness
2. Maternalism
3. Grow rapidly and efficiently
4. Carcass composition of moderate proportions
5. Meat eating qualities of the highest degree
We have been selecting hogs for 43 years with these characteristics in mind. Genetic progress can be
slow or fast depending upon the traits selected. Utilizing boars within our 6 genetic lines that allow for
balanced production in the 5 categories mentioned is essential. Pictured below is 2OHF6 Hulk 118-1,
the foundation sire of our “Hulk” line. Check the EPDs on this boar and the fact that he is both a Super
Sire and Porque Sire. If you seek excellence in pork production, check with us for offspring from this line
or our other 5 genetic lines of very similar values.
FRINGE
. . . that of all Poland China boars at a national show in 2015, a total of six
had a scan of a 9.0 LEA or larger
. . . of those six boars, only two had a WDA of 1.90 or more
. . . of those six boars, four had a backfat measurement of less than 1 inch
and weighed 350 lbs. or more
. . . of those six boars, all were tremendously good boars

Oiling the squeak
Each year as we set up for
the Fall Classic in Duncan,
Okla., college judging teams
are preparing for their
final contest at the North
American in Louisville, Ky.
All of their work for the year
will come down to this one
final contest. As we wait
for reports on the contest
to come in that Monday
evening, we sit around the
Amy Smith
hotel and tell stories from
American Berkshire Assn.
when we were judging in
college or when we were coaching teams.
Brian Anderson said that before his team left for the
North American, Dr. Don Good, a professor at Kansas State
University, met with the team. He gave the team members
some words of wisdom: “Put the oil where the squeak is” and
“Keep on keeping on”.
I have been thinking about these two phrases since I heard
them. What do these mean? What was Mr. Good telling the
team? What can we all learn from these statements?
We all know that if we have a noisy door we put oil on
it and the squeak goes
away. What if we have a
noisy sow? Or child? Or
customer? Or coworker?
When you walk in the
farrowing house, who gets
your first attention—the
sow laying quietly in her stall or the one who is squealing and
making noise? We all know that more often than not, noisy
children are just seeking attention, and when it is given to
them, they quiet down. Do we spend all of our time with the
customer who is always calling, always has something wrong,
always has an emergency, while another customer quietly takes
care of their pig and wins the big show that was their goal?
Does “put the oil where the squeak is” talk about the
livestock itself? We all know that structure is the most
important part of evaluating livestock. If they can’t move, they
aren’t going to be around very long. Do you place the class
based on which animals have the fewest “squeaks”? Do you
select your breeding stock based on the fewest “squeaks”? You
have to decide which “squeaks” you can live with and which
ones you can breed out.
What about the statement “Keep on keeping on”? These
words can be pretty powerful to a senior in college going on
their last judging trip. There may be classes you bust during
workouts on the way to the contest, but you have to put those
behind you and move on to the next class. You may give a set
of reasons that you felt didn’t go well, but you must keep going
and get ready for the next set.
We must “Keep on keeping on” every day in every thing we
do. You may not have gotten the grade you wanted in a class—
don’t give up, study harder next time. If you work in sales, you
will hear NO a number of times every day, but you have to
keep on and repeat the process again the next day.
We all know that when breeding livestock you don’t
always get what you planned or hoped for. We breed based
on the squeaks and how to oil them by utilizing genetics.
Sometimes this works and works really well and you may have
a champion or record-selling animal. Sometimes we breed
two animals that we think will make the perfect offspring to
move the bred forward and when they are born, we just shake
our head because something didn’t work the way we thought
it would. We need to “keep on keeping on”. If breeding better
livestock was easy, everyone would be doing it.
As the new year approaches I’m going to keep thinking
about these two phrases
and what they mean to
me and my life. I’m going
to figure out where the
squeaks are and try to
spend some time oiling
them. I know that it
won’t be easy and at times I will just have to “keep on keeping
on” even if I don’t feel like it. I know one thing that squeaks
more each year are my aging joints so I plan to oil them by
spending more time at the gym. It won’t be easy to get up each
morning to work out, but I will have to keep on keeping on.
I encourage you to think about these two phrases and what
you think they mean. I’m sure there are a number of other
meanings that I didn’t even touch on. Consider what these
phrases mean to you, your family and your operation. How
are you going to oil the squeaks? Keep on keeping on with
breeding better livestock!
Problems cannot be solved at the same level
of awareness that created them.
– Albert Einstein
“If breeding better livestock was easy,
everyone would be doing it.”

Happy New Year to
everyone from the
Foundation Board of
Directors!
As the New Year begins we all ask
ourselves, “What do I want to do differently this year and what are my goals to achieve it?” The
Foundation Board has also asked those same questions and this year we have set a goal to get
$10,000 pledged with the Cornerstone Program. You can help us achieve this goal by becoming a
Cornerstone Donor. For information on this program, or other ways to donate, contact Kim Stassen
at (320) 220-3626. You can find the form to fill out on the ABA website under the Foundation tab.
— All donations made to the American Berkshire Foundation are tax deductible —
New this year…
The Foundation will present awards at this year’s Summer Type Conference to the 2015 Top Junior ABA
Recorder and the Top Junior ABA Transfer of Pigs.

Blast From the Past
Bob Zeisneiss – was a breeder from Colo, Iowa,
who enjoyed being with family and attending fairs,
whether it was for 4-H or for Berkshires. Some
knew him for his ‘hog calling’ skills. His Dad, W.
H. Zeisneiss, bought their first Berkshire female in
February 1939 to use for a 4-H project. The following
winter he bought another bred gilt at the State Sale
in Des Moines and thus began the long love affair
with Berkshire swine. Bob married his wife, Dorothy,
in 1950 and then started a partnership with his folks

started raising a family. In 1960 Bob and Dorothy
bought the Berkshire herd from his Dad. There were
some ups and downs, but the Berkshire association
was rewarding for their family. He passed away in

Show Report
Fall Classic
Progress, progress . . . lots of progress
by Marty Hultman
The annual trek of the purebred and show pig industry the week before
Thanksgiving brings together producers and end users of what is billed as
“The World’s Largest Pig Show and Sale”. The weather in Duncan, Okla., was
fantastic along with the attitudes of all in attendance.
The 2015 Berkshire Fall Classic Show & Sale has shown growth in numbers
and quality for the event since the Berkshire breed started participating in 2010.
The show judge, Randy Nation, Okla., is no stranger to the Berkshire
breed—especially in the southwestern United States. As the classes came to
Randy he sorted them with the confidence of a man who knew what he wanted
in his Berkshire breeding stock for his part of the world. The entire Berkshire
fraternity says, “Thank you Randy Nation!”
In my opinion, the boar show was as deep in quality for the numbers shown
as the Berkshire breed had in all of 2015. The first class of boars was as strong
as any class of boars of all pure breeds at the Fall Classic. The Knight Genetics
Team, Ill., continued their run of sale-topping individuals but now they can add
champion boar to their successful list of accomplishments. The class winning
and champion boar was extra square footed from knee to ground and ankle to
ground, had great width at the top of his skeleton and all the way to his base
chest floor. He was up headed and attractive on the move BUT the best part
was his muscle shape, body, bone and how it all tied together in a super sound
package. This boar’s mother is genetically potent, producing grand and reserve
gilts at the 2014 Summer Type Conference and at the 2015 Summer Type
Conference she produced a boar that sold to Shipley’s, called Sledgehammer
and a $17,000 gilt selling to Wolf /Heimer. A lot of interested parties bid but
when the hammer dropped Adam Beck of Crossroads Genetics took ownership.
Great home for a great prospect!! The boar running second in class, exhibited by
Marcus and Alicia Miller, Ill., made Judge Nation’s job tough. The day’s reserve
champion boar was packed full of muscle had extra bone, body and balance.
The judge drove the top pair of boars for a while and they were just as sound at
the end of the drive as the beginning. Purple Power Boar Stud outlasted several
bidders to own the boar. The Danner family always buys functional hogs that
are right for the times that their customers will make money with. The boar
in third, from the Rourke Sisters, Iowa, was a bigger outlined, longer bodied
boar with a long rump and extra bone. The boar had plenty of muscle and body
cavity. He had excellent breed character and was marked really well. As a breed,
we need to pay attention to markings and that crossbred-appearing factor that
has entered the breed. The boar found a good home with South Platte Genetics,
Colo. The boar in fourth place from Cornerstone Ventures, Texas, had a June
22 birth date and when it is all said and done he might have the highest ceiling
of any in the show. This guy had a tremendous look from the side, had all the
extras and was super sound and still had that greener look that indicates the
best is yet to come. Just my opinion, but when this boar catches up in terms of
maturity he may be the heaviest boned most balanced of the show. The boar will
go back to Texas as Chuck Real saw all the good in this one. These four boars
averaged $6,600 at the 2015 Fall Classic Show! Ali Torr, Ind., had the next three
boars in the class—all very sound, well balanced, solid boars with not a hole in
any of them. They just flat ran into a buzz saw class of Berkshire boars.
Class two boars was lead off with another stout boar from the Millers out of
Illinois. The same pattern of the boar Marcus drove in the first class, being stout
featured, heavy muscled and sound. The boar stayed in Oklahoma selling to CR

t
Showpigs. The boar coming out in second was driven by Grant Norman of Norman Farms, Ill. The boar hit the ring with
attitude and power, he was heavy boned and big fronted. The boar in third from Knauth Showpigs, Ill., was a heavy boned,
long bodied hog that had a great profile and moved really well. He went back to Illinois.
Class three boars were deep in quality with the class winner coming from Jaxon Pitts, Kan. He was a very practical boar
with no holes and as always when Ken Bauer, Md., buys one you know the hog is sound and has the extras to help his herd
move forward. The boar coming out of second was the Colten Jasper, Okla., entry. The boar had friends around ringside
as he was thick centered and square made, with a powerful hip and hind leg. He will stay in Oklahoma. The boar in third
from Wippel Family Berks, Ohio, was really stout. Wippels, as you remember, had the champion boar at the 2015 World
Pork Expo and when Jeff and the family bring one out you know it will compete. This guy was heavy boned, big bodied
and easy to look at from the profile. The boar had lots of muscle shape and should sire babies that Regina Campbell-Crotty,
Okla., can sell and will compete with in the end.
The 2015 Fall Classic gilt show was proof positive you can make Berkshire females that blend show ring and brood sow
look into a single package. The class one winner was driven by Tyler Knight of Knight Genetics and just like the boar he
drove to the champion banner this female did not disappoint. She was deep bodied and long fronted with plenty of muscle
and bone for a breeding female. She goes to Tyler’s uncle, Roy Knight, Ill. The Shipley & Snyder operation drove what I
felt was a classic Berkshire female. The skeleton was perfect in build while the balance and body capacity was exceptional
and she had a perfect underline and square feet and toes. She went back to
Ohio. Marcus and Alicia Miller topped off a great set of hogs they brought to
Duncan with the third place gilt. She was medium framed, balanced with extra
muscle and shape that did not affect her movement and function. This female
will get her chance with Braden and Bryce Coon, Okla.
The second class of gilts was a more challenging class for Judge Nation to
line up. The female that wins the class from Logan & Lauren Thomas, Ind.,
was a moderate, thick-made female that was in great show condition and had
a balanced show pig look. The female in second was the first of a pair of good
gilts that Jarboe Showpigs, Okla., showed. This female had a blend of brood
sow look with show appeal that is hard to combine. She was sound footed and

long bodied with a big rib cage. The gilt stays in Oklahoma with Jeff Chambers.

The gilt in third from Ken and Garrett Cole, Ind., was perfect for the market
Pigs, Ill.
she was being shown in, being on the moderate frame side with tremendous
width of body and muscle volume and staying sound of foot throughout the
drive. Always look up Garrett Cole’s entries when he brings them out. Cabe
Showpigs, Okla., made the investment in this Cole-bred genetics. The gilts
coming out next in fourth and fifth from a pair of Indiana exhibitors Ali Torr
and Watson & Fisher were solid Berkshire females and got homes with Kyle
England, Ark., and Woodrow Lankford, Okla.
The gilt show really heated up in class three. Judge Nation took his time,
drove the females and when it was done your grand and reserve champions
came out of this class. The class winner and champion female was exhibited

plenty of bone and muscle that blended into an extremely attractive package.
Randy Pullan, Okla., figures if I cannot beat her I better own her. She stayed
in Oklahoma. The second place and reserve champion female was exhibited by
Randy Pullan and it was close. I really liked the power in this female’s rib cage

Randy’s hogs have made many positive contributions to the Berkshire breed

individual of the four Cadillac littermate daughters that Brice Conover had at
the 2014 NBS® that sold for over $28,000. With that said, she was last in the
class but penetrated the sale to be top-selling Berkshire gilt. The buyer, Kincaid
Farms, Ill., not bending to her placing will be finding the upside in this female.
BREEDERS DIGEST
JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016 29 Berkshire Fall Classic Show and Sale Report
The class four gilts featured females with extra size and had that sow power look. The class winner was shown by
Lockman Genetics, Kan. She was a very complete female with all the extras—body, bone, and muscle but really well
balanced and sound. The gilt found her new home in Oklahoma with Braxton & McKenna Wood. Coming out in second
was the Orin Allen, Ill., entry. This female was big bodied, broody and easy to look at on the move. She went back to
Illinois. The gilt in third from Gregory Aldridge, Okla., was a very complete, good profiling gilt. Jeff Wippel drives the
typical Wippel female to the fourth hole. I say typical, because Jeff always drives sound, functional Berkshire females
. . . always! The bidding was active and the gilt landed with Deterding Showpigs, Okla. Amanda Ingram drove a pair of
littermates to fifth and sixth that were balanced, heavy muscled with extra bone. The fifth place gilt went to the Williams,
in Missouri. Rounding out the class was Walter Hormuth, Texas, with a nice Berkshire female.
Berkshire breeders, let’s keep the growth and excitement of the Fall Classic top of mind when making plans for 2016!

There IS a Genetic Difference!
$11,500 Poland breed record-selling public auction female, bred here
and sold at Belton, Texas, at the 2015 Southwest Type Conference.
This Like No Other x Unstoppable daughter is beginning to write her
own legacy and record book for Jerry Kobyluk. Stay tuned for the
exciting history book this female will write in the next several years.
$5,700 littermate to the gilt pictured above, this Wingo-bred female
now resides at Hubly Farms, Minn. This is the type and kind of
breeding hog we attempt to produce—big bodied, easy feeding, stout,
muscular and problem-free hogs that simply get the job done. Our
guess is that the Hubly family will successfully make this elite female
work in their program.
Our 2015 Fall Classic Top-Selling Poland Female went to Wayne
and Leslie Harman, Texas. We thank the Harmans for their $2,500
purchase of this stout, big bodied, huge ribbed, massive made I Don’t
Know x Heat Wave daughter at Duncan. The predictability in this
one is strong and we have great confidence that Wayne and Leslie
will make this one a true breed changer.
Our 2015 World Pork Expo Reserve Champion Chester Boar, this
Pooh x Heavy Hitter son was an intriguing boar. The bone, body,
flexibility, hip and appetite this one possesses is hard to duplicate.
We love the build in this Wingo-bred Chester. Contact us for semen
availability. Look in folks!
Our 2015 Summer Type Conference Champion Boar, Undisputed is a
littermate to our World Pork Expo boar, shown above. This guy was
selected by Top Cut Genetics for $5,000 and has the Wingo length
of hip, extreme flexibility, growth, appetite and fleshing ability we
demand all of our hogs to possess. We have heard excellent reports
on his progress and his early litters. Give the Top Cut crew a call to
become a leader, not a follower—(888) 486-7288.

YES! New York City
If you can believe this or
not, a speech given by Bill
de Blasio, the current mayor
of New York City (NYC),
caused me to miss the
Southwest Type Conference
(SWTC) last year. I thought
this would be a good time
to revisit the issue and bring
you up to speed on his
attack on animal ownership.
Trent Loos
In the last mayoral
www.loostales.com
election, Bill de Blasio (a
self-proclaimed Progressive,
somewhere left of liberal) had putting an end to the horse
and carriage industry in Central Park as his main campaign
platform. In fact, in his first day in office he reiterated his
top priority as mayor was to retire all horses and create a ban
on horses pulling carriages. He said it was matter of animal
rights and that horses were not safe in the city.
Here are a couple of quick facts for some background. For
each of the past 30 years, an average of over 110 pedestrians
have been killed by traffic accidents in NYC. During that
same 30 years, only three horses total were killed as a result
of an accident. Any rational-thinking person should clearly
see that this was
just an excuse by de
Blasio—without a
shred of substance
to it.
I got involved
because I saw this
as a very blatant
attack on personal
property rights and
our ability to use
animals as we see
fit. I also wanted to
make sure that this
was not another case of a politician putting time and effort
into saving animals while ignoring the needs of the people.
Today, two years after Bill de Blasio took office, homelessness
in New York City is up by 33% and he is still yammering on
about saving the horses.
As I began to meet the carriage drivers and really got to
know a large number of the 300 horse/carriage drivers, I
learned something very interesting. Exactly like our farmers,
most of them are the second, third or fourth generation
in the business. I won’t take the time to walk through the
parallels of already excessive regulations but let’s just say that
carriage drivers must be just as resilient as farmers in order to
be in business today.
A few carriage drivers who took de Blasio seriously, early
on, decided to be very proactive. The first thing they did
was develop an open door policy. There are four stables in
Manhattan and Steven Malone is leading the charge. He held
a press conference and announced that any time someone
wants a tour of the horses, they can just stop in 24/7.
They launched campaigns and enlisted people who love
the horses but would typically be too complacent to engage
in endeavors such as this. They organized a North American
Horse/Carriage Convention in Manhattan. I was honored to
give the keynote address about how and why they needed to
carry the torch and keep fighting. All this happened during
the SWTC last year.
While I was merely a cheerleader, helping where I could,
it was the key individuals who have devoted every waking
moment for the past two years that have gotten us to this
point. So where are we now?
For starters, there is still no ban on horses and carriages
in Central Park. In fact, about Thanksgiving the mayor made
a compromise which was, without a doubt a concession,
because he knows his plan is in trouble. However, with all of
that, the victory is not really a touchdown. It is more like a
first down toward a touchdown. Sadly, I am not sure we will
ever see a day
when there is
a huge victory
celebration
because there
will always be
someone out
there thinking,
“Yes, we should
get rid of the
carriage horses.”
While I share
this to enlighten
you on a small
success that drives people for more, I find tremendous
analogies to what we are doing today in the pig business. I
know we all have enough on our plates that we don’t really
need to find more but trust me in today’s world the animal
rights community is gauging their success by each first down
they get against us. If we are not at least trying to score, and
all working on the same team toward the same goal, who do
you think is going to get the big win?
“I know we all have enough on our plates
that we don’t really need to find more but
trust me, in today’s world the animal rights
community is gauging their success by each
first down they get against us.”

GA UP!
This Lightning Strike x Done Deal son, that represented the Poland China breed as the 2015
NBS® Hog College Boar, is as good as ANY Poland boar we have ever seen. Bred by Tucker’s
Polands, Iowa, we are tremendously excited he resides here and has simply improved even
more since his arrival at Jones, Oklahoma. He does everything we want a herd sire to do
which includes settling sows at a high percentage. We can brag on him in every area—and
we do—but your best option is to make a stop at KEJ Worldwide Genetics to see him for
yourself. Semen is available and it has been very popular.
Nearly every Poland sow we own will farrow Gas ‘Em Up litters in 2016. Some of the breed’s
best females will farrow in January and February to him. Call today to reserve your chance to
own the very best.
$11,500 Poland Breed Record-Selling Gilt Like No Other x Unstoppable
2015 SWTC Reserve Champion Gilt Full Force x Like No Other
Selected at Belton in 2015 from Jeff Wingo, Okla., this popular recordselling gilt has already made her mark in our program. Her summer
litter by the record-selling $45,000 Purple Rain is impressive. Several of
these elite individuals will be our consignments to the 2016 Southwest
Type Conference. Her 2016 expected January litter by Gas ‘Em Up gets us
really excited.
Selected from Brianna Waterhouse and bred by Raymond Rice, Okla., this
female is the epitome of a great brood sow. Her $5,250 investment was
well worth the expenditure as her Goliath (Arsenal x One Look x Complete
x Double Impact) summer litter is powerful. Several of these are headed to
Belton in March. These get us pumped. Again, we anxiously await her 2016
spring litter by Gas ‘Em Up.

2015 Fall Classic 1st Class 3 Chester Boar
A big thank you to Douglas Schaefer, Texas, on his $2,400 purchase of
this breed-building Chester White boar at Duncan. He represents the
kind we have attempted to build the past few years. We love his bone,
structure, mass, forearm, true muscle shape, flexibility and function.
He is built this way because of the sows behind him.
Semen available on Gravel Road (registration number 147879001) by
Dead End x Open Road at $100/dose. He is one powerful dude!
We will have Tulsa and Kansas City age pigs available. We also have two
really stout Chester boars on feed for Belton. These guys represent the
L&P brand extremely well. Look us up!
&
Thanks to all of the Chester breeders
for their positive comments on this
stout boar and congratulations to
all who recently had tremendous
success with L&P Genetics.
Congratulations to Lean Value Sires

Family traditions
No matter what we
are doing or what we
are preparing for, we
always basically have two
thought processes we
can follow: we can either
choose to switch things
up and try something
new, or, we can follow
Hope Coffey
tradition.
While I try to keep
a steady mixture of
the two, I often find myself leaning toward trying
something new. Don’t get me wrong, I understand the
phrase “if it isn’t broke, don’t fix it.” But when time and
opportunity arise to switch things up and still have the
same successful outcome, I’m all for it. However, it is
this time of year that I find myself to err on the side of
tradition.
In early December I
was shopping and added
to my ever-growing
spontaneous list,
Christmas cards. I have
always been a big fan of
mailing Christmas cards
to friends and loved
ones. I still beam when I
open the mailbox on any
given day in December
and find cards from
friends I have made through the years. So as I entered
the card section of the seasonal department, I found
tradition sweeping over me.
My grandmother (Mamaw Shorty) and I were very
close. She taught me how to cook, the importance of
making the beds, and how to stand up for myself. She
didn’t hesitate to tell you exactly what was on her mind,
and it didn’t bother her if what she said might hurt your
feelings. A brutally honest woman, she was. Mamaw
passed away in 2012, living just long enough to see my
baby girl turn 1. I long every day to hear her voice again.
And yet, standing there sorting through the various
designs of Christmas cards, I felt her with me. I could
hear her when I picked up the box with a Santa on the
front and she would say “he’s not very pretty. I just don’t
like a card with an ugly Santa Claus.” Then I moved
onto the glitter covered cards . . . the ones that the snow
seems to sparkle right before your eyes. I heard her
again, saying “that nasty glitter will be all over the house
of everybody you send that to.” I picked up a dozen boxes,
reading the inscription to be sure it said Merry Christmas
rather than Happy Holidays. I settled on two boxes that I
felt she would be happy with. I just couldn’t bring myself
to buy a card that I thought she wouldn’t like—even
though I can’t send her one.
Holidays tend to bring out the tradition in all of us.
Many of you traveled several miles, possibly hundreds,
to be with your family. Perhaps you gathered around
the table in the house where you were raised. Or maybe
you prepared the traditional family meal to share with
those you love. Several of you spent the Christmas week
traveling to the Arizona National Livestock Show . . .
maybe that is your family tradition. Whatever you did to
commemorate the holidays, I hope it brought memories
and smiles to you and your loved ones.
Raising and showing livestock is full of decisions, many
of which hinge around
this very same concept.
Do you err on the side
of tradition? Or is it
time to try something
new? This could be true
in mating decisions,
designing a new barn,
and picking what shows
to attend. It is up to
you and your family to
decide which is best.
In planning the
Team Purebred shows you will attend this year, the
Junior Board of Directors and I contemplate when it is
appropriate to try something new and when it is best
to stick with previous plans. This year, especially at
Springfield, I hope you can appreciate the changes and
new additions we have made. The 2016 show schedule
will be published soon, and I think it is one that will
encourage even more family interaction throughout our
weeklong event. But don’t worry, for those traditionalists
out there, you will find much of the show schedule has
remained unchanged. The 2016 Team Purebred shows are
sure to be ones that you and your family will never forget!
As we enter the New Year, may we all continue the
tradition of raising good livestock, caring for others, and
teaching our kids to be respectful and responsible. I look
forward to seeing each of you in 2016! May God bless you
this winter with safety, health and happiness!
“As we enter the New Year, may
we all continue the tradition of
raising good livestock, caring for
others and teaching our kids to be
respectful and responsible.”

Team Purebred Mission
To provide educational and career
opportunities through competition and
fellowship in order to develop leadership
skills and integrity in young people
interested in Berkshire, Chester White,
Poland China and Spotted swine.
Over 3,000 juniors from 46 states across
the nation are members of Team Purebred.
Team Purebred offers opportunities to
members ages 21 and under through
national and regional junior shows,
leadership events, and educational contests.
Rule Change
Team Purebred approved a rule change that will affect the ownership deadline for all Team
Purebred regional shows as well as the National Junior Show. Effective immediately, the
ownership deadline for any Team Purebred regional show and the National Junior Show,
shall be 60 days prior to the first day of the event. All transfers must be made with the
appropriate breed association. There will be no variance in the minimum of 60 days. Any
animal transferred less than 60 days prior to the first day of the event will be ineligible to
show. In any instance that a purebred not meeting the ownership deadline is the exhibitors
only purebred (which qualifies them to show one crossbred barrow at some events) then
the crossbred will be ineligible as well.
Example: 2016 Team Purebred Southwest Regional is February 5-7, 2016. Ownership
deadline is 60 days prior to the first day of the event, which makes the ownership deadline
for this show December 5, 2015.
Ownership deadlines for each show can be found online at www.teampurebred.com on the
Show Calendar page.

Show Report
Fall Classic
Spotted excitement still exists in Duncan, Okla.
by Jack Wall
For the past decade or so, the Spotted breed has made the Fall Classic in
Duncan, Okla., a venue where elite Spotted boars and gilts are paraded and sold.
The proof is in their heritage and successful contributions to the future herd and
breeding programs. Many of the exhibited hogs at Duncan this year are a direct
result of sires and/or dams sold at previous Fall Classic sales. I think the 2015
show and sale will continue the trend of genetic improvement.
Willie Kirkpatrick was given the assignment to place and discuss this set
of Spotted hogs and there is no doubt several challenging and competitive
classes awaited him. However, as expected, Mr. Kirkpatrick handled it both
professionally and positively with Spotted breed progress in mind.
The champion boar checked many boxes on what a good boar needs to look
like. This Miller Triplets consignment by Hands Up was square built, complete,
sound, wide chested, and muscular in his build, yet still balanced. This boar
should be popular and profitable for Top Cut Genetics, who purchased him for
$2,700.
The reserve champion boar was Mays and Berhmann’s winner of class 2,
an Against The Grain son. This was a rather big bodied, square hipped, stout
boned and moderate boar selling to Schwartz Livestock for $400.
I have to admit one of my favorite Spotted boars shown was Bakker Bros.
Genetics’ winner of class 4 son of Renaissance. Combining extra length with
an excellent profile, a square hip with good growth, muscularity, flexibility and
balance wrapped in a stress negative package. I still do not understand why
progressive Spotted breeders were not all over this guy. I understand he sold
privately and I trust he got a good home. Derr’s, winner of class 1, a Tango son,
had multiple friends on show and sale day for obvious reasons. This late May
farrowed boar was excellent in his breed character from his profile, was heavy
boned, balanced, sound, square and simply hard to poke a hole in. Progressive
breeders Mays, Miller and Jervis teamed up to buy him for $3,000. Watch out
for this boar’s future!
Miller’s second place class 3 son of Hands Up was a littermate to the
champion boar. This guy possessed an excellent rib cage, width of chest, and
a definite breeding-hog look. Miller’s loaded him back up for the return to
Cabery, Ill., for $3,500. Hirschfeld’s second class 2 son of Tango was the breed’s
top seller at $4,000 to Miller Farms. This was a good headed, stout boned,
extremely flexible boar with excellent reach paired with a lean, square, muscular
top with excellent angles. His type and kind in a stress negative package will
help the breed. Niehaus and Feldman’s second class 4 entry was a son of Show
Me. He was stout and big bladed with balance. Armstrong’s third class 2 boar,
sired by Raise the Bar had some interesting pieces to work with. This one was
extremely good in his raw blade, muscularity, width, profile, and acceptable scan
data. Next Level Genetics took this one home for $3,000. Another breeding
boar, in my opinion, was Link’s third class 4 Beast Mode son. If you like them
stout, with big feet, a huge top with a thick rear, you might need to call Heath
for this one—this one returned home for $4,000.
Mr. Kirkpatrick had too many good options to use when selecting class
winning and champion caliber gilts. He landed on the Pfeiffer first class 4,
daughter of Renaissance for champion Spotted gilt. This gilt was extra long
sided, good ribbed, and had plenty of flesh and mass with a high quality
underline. She was the breed’s top selling gilt at $4,000 to KEJ Worldwide
Genetics.

The Mike Murphy All Wheel Drive daughter was a popular reserve champion. The ring side crowd enjoyed the length
of front, superb profile, femininity, stress negative status and balance of this gilt. Roy McCoy made a great $2,300 purchase
with this gilt.
The oldest class winner exhibited by Khyleigh North proved she was a winner as she was also selected champion Spot
gilt at the American Royal. This gilt is extra long fronted, feminine, sound, level, and correct. Being a stress negative gilt
with this package was a bonus for me. Corya will make her work well for $1,400. M&N first class 1 Detox daughter has
balance, a thick rump, excellent look and a solid set of feet and legs. Neanen’s got a great $600 purchase. Miller’s first
class 3 Hands Up daughter was complete with rib, balance and enough structure to generate. She sells to Bryan Bennett
for $700. Wetovick’s second class 2 Game Changer daughter was the epitome of a brood sow. Long fronted, bold ribbed,
flexible with a great underline and natural in her look, Randy Pullan made a great purchase for $1,600. M&N was back
in the ring with a littermate to the class winner. This one perhaps had a little more rump thickness and rib shape, but
nonetheless she found a home at Koetter Show Pigs for $500. May’s second class 4 Happy Feet daughter was especially
stout boned with excellent rib, selling for $700 to Joshua Horton. One of the biggest bladed and most muscular and bigger
ribbed females offered was Koltermann’s second class 5 Listen In daughter. She sells to Andy Pfeiffer for $2,000 Watch
the future of this female.
Numerous other high-quality gilts were available at Duncan and the sale report will reflect astute breeders who selected
them to further their herd progress. Thanks to all who contributed to this successful event.

JANUARY-FEBRUARY 2016 49 It’s Time for Real Change and Progress
A big thank you to Roy McCoy, Texas, for his $2,300 purchase of this All Wheel Drive x Phone
Home stress negative daughter at Duncan. We were humbled by all of the positive comments
we received on this female and she represents the phenotype, balance and athleticism we want
our females to possess. Additionally, she has the correct amount of bone, width, muscle and
structure to assure longevity yet production. We will build around this kind every time!
Congratulations to Team Loos on their purchase and success of MMF14
Pay Phone 27-3, our 2014 Fall Classic boar entry and a littermate to the
dam of our 2015 Fall Classic Reserve Champion Spotted Gilt. We may
not breed the most Spotted litters but we challenge you to find a better
set available than at Atkinson, Illinois.
Contact us for your 2016 show pig needs. We have bred many champions across the country
and we pride ourselves in “Quality Before Quantity” — SPOTS, HAMPS, YORKS, CROSSES.

American Berkshire Association
Membership Approves Changes
At the 2015 American Berkshire Association Annual Meeting, the following changes were approved to
the constitution and bylaws. This change is effective with hogs farrowed November 1, 2015, and after.
ARTICLE XIX - Markings and Identification Requirements
Section 1. Color. The ideal color pattern is black with six white points (face, four socks, tip of tail). Less desirable, but acceptable, are
sandy colored hair in the areas where white and black border. Color Qualifications for Registration (boars, gilts and barrows must meet
the following color requirements in order to be recorded): A Berkshire must have white on the face and tail, unless the tail is docked.
Three of four legs must be white. A Berkshire must not have a spotted or mottling pattern – an intermixture of black and white and/or
red hair that is larger than a contiguous 93.5 square inches area anywhere on the body of a mature pig (approximately a 8 ½ x 11 square
inch area, on a 50 lb pig, this would be equivalent to 15 square inches, or a 3 x 5 area). A Berkshire must not have an area of white skin
that exceeds 93.5 square inches of contiguous solid white skin on the upper 2/3 of the body (15 square inches on a 50 lb pig). A Berkshire
cannot have white skin or hair that continuously encircles the body anywhere between the base of the ear and the base of the tail. From
the base of the ear forward, a Berkshire cannot be solid white. A Berkshire cannot have any skin color besides black and white (includes
red or sandy colored skin).
Section 4. Disqualification for Registration of Breeding animals. The presence of one or more of the following are disqualifications for
registration: a) less than 12 teats, b) the presence of one or more swirls on upper half of the body, c) total blindness, d) rectal or uterine
prolapse, e) hermaphroditism, f) atresia ani; g) cryptorchidism or monorchidism; h) scrotal and/or umbilical hernia, and i) ear carriage
that “breaks” to the point in which ears are continually directed in a downward angle.

2015 Team Purebred Winter Foundation Female
Conviction Nailed It x Tuxedo T
Norman Farms was honored to be asked to contribute
to such a great organization as Team Purebred and for
such a tremendous cause. We knew it would take a special
individual like 23-3 to represent our program. We shared
this powerful Roids x ET x Wide Out daughter, bred to
NBS4 GRUS Game Changer, for the 2015 Team Purebred
Winter Foundation Female. We appreciate all of the
positive comments we received on this female.
This one gets us excited. We thought about hauling this
one to Austin but simply could not let him go. He puts
all of the things we desire to have in one superb package.
Combining structure, soundness, sow power and a near
perfect build,
Conviction is
our genetic
future. He has
been mated
Even better news . . . we have retained a powerful
to nearly all
littermate to this female, named Remember Me. Talk about of our elite
a stress negative guy with a breeding-hog look—he will
Chester females
be a big part of our future. Call for more information on
and we can
Remember Me!!!
simply say,
watch out!
Legend Right Round x Wide Out
This guy has generated lots of interest here at Sidell,
Ill. With a tremendous rib cage, awesome build and
impeccable top and rump with honest width and structure,
Legend has bred some of our very best sows for spring
2016 litters. It takes a great one to acquire the name
Legend. We’ll let genetics determine his future. We are way
excited about Legend!
Thanks to our Fall Classic buyers: Gary
Hellebust, Kan., and Deterding Showpigs, Okla.,
for their Spot gilt purchases and to many others
who selected the NBS brand this fall.

When Customer
SUCCESS Matters . . .
They win when they get big!
Congratulations to Shyla and Layra Navarre, Okla., on their 2015 Fall Classic
Champion Chester White Gilt, purchased here last spring. This 37-11 Hill
Jack x Uno 1-10 daughter was the popular “talk of the barn” at Duncan. We
have built our sow herd around females built like this one and are proud of
the $3,000 she accumulated and the success of another “AG” satisfied
customer. Job well done.
Congratulations to Bayle and Hunter Vorndran, Okla., on their 2015 Fall
Classic Reserve Champion Chester White Gilt. This 41-6 Armstrong-bred,
Hill Jack x Cutterson daughter again represented the “AG” brand extremely
well. These folks did an excellent job getting this one cared for, fed and
shown and then collecting $2,500 reserve champion honors. Another job
well done.
Your SUCCESS Determines Our Future
They win when they’re small!
