When it comes to selling bred females, the cynics will say that they are being sold for a reason. Whether the breeder does not like the mating, the sow line is not going the right direction, etc.
Sometimes, that might be the case. What I will say, we are absolutely selling these things for a reason. Reason being we take great pride in selling females that are going to lay down and have a healthy litter of pigs that succeed in county fairs, state fairs, and national shows down the road.
The amount of calls/ texts we receive about the success from our bred females we sell is as satisfying as any. That being said, this is the deepest set of bred females that we have compiled, and we are excited to offer them to the public.

We may not have the number to sell like years past but we feel the quality exceeds our previous bred sales. Quality is what we are sticking to and if that means we cut down on number to find the best breds to offer we will do that.
We take pride in seeing others accomplish goals with our genetics just like we have had the opportunity to do with genetics from other firms.

When we say we aren’t holding anything back for our bred female sale, we mean it ... and this gilt is proof of that! She was Champion Overall at her county fair and could compete at the highest level when she was at 12 o’clock.
One of the most exciting pieces about this gilt is the litter that she came from. Her mate sister was Champion Heavyweight and Reserve Grand OVERALL at the 2022 Iowa State Fair 4-H Show.
When we bred this gilt to Roll Call, it was as calculated as any. We did not hold back and found what we thought was the best possible match for her. Bid with confidence, this one is special!
RESERVE GRAND CHAMPION FEMALE, 2022 IOWA STATE FAIR LITTERMATE SISTER TO LOT 1.
MANY TIME CHAMPION
AUNT OF LOT 2.
SELLING AS LOT 2.
Drum Roll Please ...
We have had a ton of people acquire about buying a Duroc female from us but we usually are hesitant to let any leave the farm. This sow had a successful run in the show ring in 2020! She was Grand or Reserve Duroc at many jackpots, class winner at Iowa State Fair and went on to be Grand Champion Duroc Breeding Gilt at the National Barrow Show. The dam of this sow originates from Mark Hurd and her littermate sister was Champion Overall Breeding Gilt at the Battle on the Blue Chips Showdown.
Here is your opportunity to purchase a red female from us that is bred to Disruption! She is due at a perfect time for Midwest Duroc Barrows. We believe this mating is lights out! We have a ton of faith in Disruption; if we didn’t we wouldn’t have bred him to every red female we have on the farm besides his mother.
Genetic Power with this Tricked Out gilt here!
We purchased this gilts mother from the Grings crew when they dispersed, and I am forever grateful that we did. This gilts mother has generated as many champions as any we have had and continues to do so. This gilt came out of a litter of four and three of them hung a banner last summer. 15-2 herself was Grand Overall Market Hog at her county fair.
Lot 3 is as exotic looking as they come, tons of muscle in shape (in her show days), and her hip-hock-ground is as elite as it gets. She will be fun not only for this litter of Roll Call babies, but for years to come.
YOUR CHANCE TO GET IN!
17-2 is a direct daughter of our main foundation sow. That sow is known around our farm as Millie but to most she is known as Larry’s Sister (Grand Barrow at 2018 Iowa State Fair). This same foundation sow also most recently raised Cheat Code at Crossroads Genetics. Cheat Code was named Champion Crossbred Boar at the 2022 Summer Type Conference. This will only be the fourth female we have ever sold out of her, however this lot will be the first bred offered.
The Down N Dirty X Dirty Secret genetics line works awesome for our firm. Adding Major League as the service sire will only build onto the power of this pedigree!
If you want to establish yourself in the Berkshire breed or add to your herd immediately, you may want to put serious consideration on this third parody sow.
Full sib to our Grand Berkshire, Champion Purebred and Fifth OverAll Market Hog at the Iowa State Fair FFA show, full sib to the Champion Berkshire Breeding Gilt in the Iowa State Fair FFA show, and the list keeps going with this mating. We sold a full sib last year in our bred sale for $10k and she went on to have Third Overall Berkshire in Springfield, a class winner at the Indiana State Fair, and a county fair champion in Indiana.
This sow in her first litter last spring had Champion Berkshire and Champion OVERALL Purebred at the North Dakota State Fair, Champion Purebred and Reserve Overall at a county fair, and a six-time champion Berkshire on the Iowa Jackpot series.
PROVEN YOUNG FEMALE that is for sale that we believe is bred for success!
Lot 6 is out of the deepest litter of pigs we had in 2021!! We kept every female out of that litter and every one of them are generating!
This sow was never shown and was put directly into the keeper gilt pen. One of her littermate sisters was Reserve Division 6 at the ’21 Iowa State Fair and went on to farrow an Unlocked litter this past year. That litter generated a barrow my brother campaigned all summer. He was a multi-Champion and Reserve Jackpot Barrow and went on to win his class at the Iowa State fair. We had very high hopes for him but didn’t quite get it done. He is the most talked about barrow we have ever raised by a landslide!
This particular sow had a February litter last year and we sold two gilts but kept the rest. The two we sold each won their class at Ak-Sar-Ben and Kansas City. I am confident 8-2 mated to Purple Hat can make a barrow just as good if not better than her sister did.
This belted gilt comes is out of our staple Cobb sow that has been a cornerstone of our crossbred operation. The complete sow line seems to do all the little thing right. They are good in the crate, big appetite, and the pigs are easy to feed.
27-2 is tall at the point of the shoulder, slick necked with elite build and design. Chosen One clicked on this gilt’s mother for her summer litter, and we are excited to see what comes out in the wash with this mating.
ELLEN DAM OF LOT 7.
In 2020, we purchased the mother of Lot 8 as a bred from Heimer’s with the Mullenhoff Family. The sow family behind 56-1 is responsible for several barrows and gilts that have made the backdrop.
56-1 is a maternal sister to the Third Overall Division 3 Cross Gilt at the 2019 American Royal. Her KMS mother is a full sister to House Money and the Fourth Overall Cross Barrow 2018 WPX.
We have her mated to The Disciple in hopes for her to have a litter that will not only be valuable in terms of dollars sold but to also keep females that will make the next generation for your sow herd better.
This young lady genetically combines Next Intentions, Curtain Call, Encore and Vendetta.
She is a tall fronted, long necked female that is short backed, bold centered while still being square on all four. The added power, bone, density, and muscle that Hidden Treasure brings to the table is the making for an intriguing litter to say the least.

NEXT VINTAGE
SIRE OF LOT 9.
This gilt puts a lot of exciting pieces together for us when it comes to making red hogs.
Big hipped, good hind leg in a barrow proportioned package and still maintains her look and extension up front. She comes from a sow line that gets in done in the crate and makes pigs that are easy to feed. This gilt has brood sow written all over her and being lined back up with Triple H, it could be a home run!
This calico sow originated from the Steele firm where she had a very successful run down in Oklahoma and won her class at OYE for the Gray Crew. Not only did she get it done herself, but her littermate sister is the mother of Steel Force at Top Cut! If you follow the Steel Genetics closely, this sow goes back to the heart of their herd. We have several gilts retained out this sow and with a litter of Dash 8 due in mid-January, it could be her best litter to date!
These two Yorkshire females are a can’t miss!
The third parody sow, bred to Yeti at Thompson Bros, won her class at Houston and San Angelo during her show career and has done a tremendous job in the crate for us having several winners at the county fair level and a class winner at the Iowa State Fair FFA Show. Not to mention, this mating is the most exciting and anticipated by quite some margin.
The gilt is out of our dominant Chest Bump sow that was Champion Yorkshire at the Iowa State Fair and produced a list of Champion or Reserve Champion Yorkshire at AKSARBEN, Nebraska State Fair, Iowa State Fair, and Kansas City Royal.
The gilt herself is the same build and design as her mom in a more fluid and athletic package.
There is no wrong answer with these two!
