2. Dense, rugged, good built, and reliable.
3. Years of work and planning went into building females who know how to do their job.
“In last year’s First Class Female Sale we purchased an open gilt down the sale order for $3000. Looking back it was an incredible investment. Not only did she breed and farrow with ease but she milked her large litter as good as you could’ve ever asked for. Her litter sold very well and grossed over $12,000. One of those particular barrows has already won multiple shows in Iowa for the Brunton crew.”

“We have experienced a tremendous amount of success with gilts from Will. Not only do they make incredible show gilts but they go on to generate show pigs that get our customers excited to put them on feed. In many cases, Will has done the heavy lifting going generations deep with carefully planned matings. A few of our best litters at TRU this past spring were out of Hilty sows and you’ll continue to see that level of quality as we work more gilts from the Orchard into our sow herd. ”
“Investing in key females is nothing new for us. However, we never intended to set a world record for a bred female in 2022, but we were willing to swing for the fences in order to purchase “Divine” (lot 1). Divine has been everything we hoped for and then some. Excellent in the crate, easy keeping and every single one of her daughters are going into production at Crane Show Pigs. And then, there are her sons. We currently have three boar candidates on feed. Invest in confidence with Hilty; your breeding program will thank you!”

“Our purchases from Hilty Showpigs have always resulted in very positive experiences. Whether it be the boars or females we have purchased, you can count on the livestock you purchase from Will Hilty to offer very extreme, farreaching breeding value, while still maintaining the type of build, structural correctness, and overall functionality that allows them to be so successful in the show ring, and the breeding pen. These animals are backed by years of Will Hilty’s progressive breeding mindset, resulting in an offering that gives a buyer a chance to utilize these impressive females within their own herds to make big time advancements!”

“When we look around our barns, we still sit and ponder over the original Baby Blue sow that came from Will back in 2018. She is still here and generating, bringing us power behind so many of our lines. Our family has been extremely fortunate to purchase high quality Hilty females to start and continue our foundation throughout the years. We have not only bred but have kept these lines in our barns for many reasons. They have given us something to build on. They produce pigs that we want in our barns and that go on and have litters we are proud of. We can honestly say that our light cross division pigs and their success would not be where they are today without these females. Thanking Will and Callie just doesn’t seem like enough!”
