Non-Typical x Shoot To Thrill Bred by Mauck Showhogs EN: 39-1 Reg#: 139979001 Stress: Neg

Premium Blend Genetics is thrilled to announce that we have purchased BOHICA from Mauck Show Hogs!! We believe BOHICA is one of the most unique Berkshire boars we have seen and we truly think he is ahead of his time! Incredibly exotic looking though his front 1/3, offering unmatched height at the point of his shoulder and length of head and neck while still being stout about his feature and skull! For a Berkshire boar with this type of extension, look, and eye appeal, he is still awesome in terms of bone and foot size with excellent strength to his pasterns!

When we visited Mauck’s this summer and saw BOHICA, he hit us incredibly hard as one that was so unique and far reaching that we had to try to own him to stand along side Whatever It Takes and Monopoly to form the best trio of Berkshire boars we have ever had the opportunity to offer! The Mauck’s report very positive feedback on his first crop of pigs and we cant wait to see what BOHICA can accomplish!! A big thanks to Nick, Neil, and the entire Mauck crew for allowing us to bring him to Premium Blend!!!

BOHICA is getting it done in the ring including 4th Overall & 8th Overall Gilts @ OYE as well as a class-winning gilt @ SWTC.

Reg# 141434002

Round Trip is our exciting purchase from Mauck Showhogs from the 2016 Perfect Timing Sale! Sired by Back Home on a tremendous Non Typical sow, this guy hit us hard as a weanling in Lawton! As he has matured he has continued to impress us with his immense power, mass, and extreme rib and body shape.

Round Trip is huge backed and carries this shape down back to his hip, through his lower stifle. With all this power and width, he still reads attractive and elevated through his head and neck, offering a great “show hog� look when viewed from the side. Round Trip stands on huge legs and is very square and athletic when set in motion.

If you are looking to add sheer mass, expression, and POWER, Round Trip is the boar for you!

GODZILLA is our STC Champion & $26,000 Top-selling Berkshire Boar from Brice Conover.

GODZILLA is a King Kong x Gunslinger son that resembles his Grandsire SuperFly as much as any boar we have seen and is out of the mom of the 3 tremendous females that Brice sold last fall @ NBS for $28,000.

Cool, extended front end with a massive chest, tons of shape and tracks true and wide as he goes away.

If SuperFly worked for you, we feel GODZILLA offers a great option to deliver like his grandfather.

Godzilla got off to a great start in his 1st crop which included being named Premier Sire @ 2015 WPX and siring the WPX Champion Boar as well as 2 Class-winning gilts in the WPX Junior show.

Bred by & Owned with Steve Cobb & Family Stress: Negative Visionary is the Bone Collector x Super Monster son of the $500,000 3/4 interest pair of boars purchased from Steve Cobb & Family. When he walked out of the Cobb's boar barn the first thing that hit us was his tree-trunk back legs that truly look fake. Then you see his hip which is the longest and best hip and makes him one of the most athletic boars we have seen out of Collector or Thug. Then you see his barrel rib and absolutely massive flank. Then the real topper is one of the most uniquely-powerful but extended head/necks you can imagine.

Visionary has been on an absolute tear in his 1st 4 seasons including 18 State Fair Grand Overalls 1st Season: Grand Overall Barrow Minnesota 4H, Grand Overall Barrow Minnesota FFA, Grand Overall Barrow Nebraska FFA, Grand Overall Barrow Nebraska Open, Grand Overall Market Hog Kentucky Open, Grand Overall Gilt Indiana 4H, Grand Overall Gilt Illinois 4H, Grand Commercial Gilt Ohio 4H, Champion Cross & 3rd Overall (Top-placing Gilt) Michigan Livestock Expo, Grand Overall Gilt North Carolina , Grand Overall Gilt Virgina, Grand Overall Gilt Alabama, Grand Overall Gilt State Fair of Texas, Grand Overall Gilt Tulsa State Fair.

At WPX he sired the Champion Gilt, Reserve Champion Gilt, & 5th Overall Gilt in Division 1 & Champion & 3rd Overall Gilt Division 2 as well as the 4th Overall Div 2 barrow.

2nd Season - Placed 8 gilts in the OYE Sale of Stars -more than any other sire.

In addition to those winnings, he has placed nearly 30 boars in stud around the country. Truly an incredible first 4 crops of sons & daughters!!!

Visionary has carried on his father’s legacy of stamping showpigs that have a naturally high head carriage and a look-at-me strut that is critical in the showring.

Visionary will generally follow the color of the sow which has resulted in some very cool “appearing” showpigs. Visionary has already sired the 2016 Champion Yorkshire Barrow @ OYE, Reserve Champion Yorkshire Barrow OYE, & 2016 Champion Yorkshire Barrow California State Fair.

With the number of elite offspring having Visionary on the bottom side of the pedigree, it has become crystal clear that Visionary daughters are going to be just as special in the farrowing crate as they are in the showring!!!

Chained Dog

$300 /$150 Overrun/$100 Last Call

Best Man x Bone Thug Bred by Weisinger Farms Stress: TBD CHAINED DOG is our off the farm purchase from Weisinger Farms.

CHAINED DOG comes from great stock as he is a Best Man on a Bone Thug dam. The dam was the 3rd Overall Crossbred Gilt at the 2014 WPX shown by the Langholff family and is one of the true foundation females @ Weisingers.

CHAINED DOG is a littermate to the very popular gilt that the Coulson/Green family has shown throughout Oklahoma this winter. That gilt has grabbed several big banners in her show career and was named 6th Overall Commercial Gilt @ OYE. Chained Dog is incredible in his build and true “show barrow” construction. Freakish in the look and extension through his head, neck, and jawline. Busted open in his chest as he drives right at you and is square and genuine in his build throughout.

He is descript and expressive down his back, offering great shape and spread on the top side of his skeleton. When set in motion, he is awesome in his flexibility and his ability to find a second gear and go is second to none!

The Weisingers turned down several large offers to sell CHAINED DOG as a barrow last fall but they were convinced he had tremendous value as a stud especially given the incredible dam laying behind him - we can’t wait to unleash CHAINED DOG and see what great things he can do!!!

Kiss My Hocks x Gone Viral Bred by Heimer Hampshires Stress: Carrier

DISTINCT (aka 15-1) is our Kiss My Hocks x 85-12 (Gone Viral x Swagger x Black Attack) stress carrier son from Heimer Hampshires . When the crew went to HH to purchase our new Berkshire boar Monopoly, they had the opportunity to see “15-1”. Their immediate feedback to me was that we REALLY needed to buy him. If you want to see passion from Jesse Heimer, ask him about DISTINCT - so we felt the best person to describe him was the man that bred him and here is what he had to say: “Many who haven’t seen him have asked ‘what’s he like?’ and our most accurate description is this; he’s the 2016 version of Swagger. We’ve used Swagger as much as anyone in the past 4+ years and for all the Champion barrows he sired, we never really made a boar that resembled Swagger until this one came along. Suggesting that 15-1 looks like Swagger is an awfully big statement but we honestly think he’s progressively better in many areas than Swagger. He’s bigger ribbed, deeper flanked, bigger legged, heavier boned and still incredibly square at the ground. What makes 15-1 truly unique is his extreme flexibility and the ability to reach and grab another gear. It took some time but this one was worth the wait.”

We bought Distinct to match to Visionary daughters and that has worked very well including class-winning & $5500 2nd top-selling gilt @ WTC, class-winning boar @ SWTC, Reserve Gand Gilt NW District-Woodward, as well as Essential and Silver Lining who are now standing in stud here @ PBG.

Center Stage

$250 /$125 Overrun/$100 Last Call

Ante Up x Killer Instinct Bred by Midwest Genetics Stress: Negative CENTER STAGE is our $50,000 WPX Champion Boar purchase from Midwest Genetics. CENTER STAGE is a stress negative Ante Up x Killer Instinct x Toxic 28-3. Very interesting blend of powerful pedigrees backed up by his grand-dam being the dam of Monumental.

CENTER STAGE combines all the things we love to put together. Busted open coming and going, big legged, heavy boned and stout in his structure. He has a massive amount of shape up high, exhibiting a deep, expressive groove down his back. He is incredible in the curvature to his upper rib, blending down to a deep full flank. For a moderate hog, he is extreme in the height at the point of his shoulder and length of face and neck. Combine all this in very structurally correct and extremely agile package and it all adds up to a tremendous sire that we are very proud to be able to offer to our customers.

CENTER STAGE covers all the fundamentals but does it in a very powerful and extreme package that will allow him to be used on a very wide variety of females.

Distinct x Visionary Bred by Decker Showpigs Stress: Carrier ESSENTIAL is our exciting new purchase from Decker Showpigs! When we purchased Distinct from Heimer last Spring, we were excited to see how his phenotype and genetic makeup would blend with our existing bloodlines in stud here at PBG, specifically Visionary daughters. The reports have been extremely positive, confirming many of those thoughts, and hogs built like ESSENTIAL are what we envisioned!

ESSENTIAL’s dam is Taylor Schuerman’s 2015 Indiana State Fair Grand Overall Gilt! This sow line has been incredibly productive for the Deckers, consistently producing very sellable pigs that feed and perform at the highest levels of competition!

ESSENTIAL combines many of the best characteristics of both parents into one incredibly good package!

He is tall fronted and freaky in his extension through the front 1/3 of his body. Very crisp and descript in his muscle pattern and carries this shape down low through his lower stifle. He is bold and robust through the center portion of his body. ESSENTIAL is huge chested and offers tremendous spread and dimension from the top of his skeleton all the way to the ground, standing on big, even toes. Extremely flexible and athletic on the move-we think ESSENTIAL is an absolute barrow making machine!!

SILVER LINING is one stout boar! Extremely heavy boned and big footed! The turn to his upper rib shape is awesome and this depth carries down through his flank. Silver Lining is moderate in his overall package, yet still remains very tall at the point of his shoulder, runs uphill and displays great “show hog” look!

An outcross to a large percentage of the Spot females that makes them very good.

We are thrilled to have him in stud.

In Control x Empire x Anchor Dam of Chaos is the Grand-dam of Not Even Close Bred by Heimer Hampshires Stress: Neg

EN: 10-3 Reg#: 581521003

Chaos is the Yorkshire boar we purchased from Jesse Heimer at the same time that we purchased Distinct and Boot Cut! We saw this boar 3 times this Spring at Jesse’s and we loved him every time and were thrilled to bring him to Premium Blend! Chaos is an In Control son back on the Empire x Anchor sow that is the grandmother of Not Even Close, as well as the backbone of HH’s extremely successful line of White Exotics!

Chaos combines very unique characteristics that are not often found in one Yorkshire package. He is a moderate-plus sized boar that is opened up on the top side of his skeleton and carries this squareness all the way to the ground. He is big centered, thick throughout and still has a great natural show hog head carriage!

Without a doubt, the most frequent questions we get when discussing Yorkshire boars with our customers is regarding squareness of build at the ground and strength of pasterns-Chaos is incredible in the strength to both his front and rear pastern and his toes are all square and pointing in the right direction!

Chaos has us very excited as he is a boar that is so complete, yet offers the extremes to get you over the top!

We think he can have a dramatic impact on the Yorkshire breed, while also being utilized to make very positive contributions to the crossbred world!

Chaos got off to a great start winning Reserve Grand Overall Barrow (Champion York) @ Arizona Nationals

The Prophet

$150/$75 Overrun/ $50 Last Call Slow Ride x Eclipse Bred by RW Genetics Stress: Neg

EN:4-1

Reg#: 558970001

THE PROPHET, our $130,000 Slow Ride on Eclipse son purchased from RW Genetics at the 2014 STC. THE PROPHET has been extremely popular with visitors and we are as confident that he will be a BANNER-GRABBING sire as any we have put in stud.

Some boars just seem to have an IT factor and we think THE PROPHET definitely falls into that category.

THE PROPHET puts freak and complete together about as well as we have seen it done and are thrilled to have him in stud @ PBG. Combine his design with an outcross pedigree that provides an option for a large number of the elite Yorkshire females across the country.

The Prophet has had a great summer in 2015 including the Grand Overall Barrow NJSS, the Reserve Grand Overall Gilt WPX, the 4th Overall Div 1 & 5th Overall Div 2 Barrows @ WPX. The Prophet continued to hit home-runs in 2016 by siring the WPX Grand Overall, OYE Grand Overall Purebred Gilt as well as the OYE 3rd Overall $17,000 Yorkshire Gilt.

Hammer

$150/$75 Overrun/$50 Last Call

Lit Up x Cloud 9 Bred by Weisinger Farms Stress: Neg

EN: 104-2 Reg#: 586113002

Hammer is a boar we purchased from Weisinger early this summer and believe that he is a boar that offers a ton of value! Sired by Lit Up, back on an incredibly impressive Cloud 9 sow that Weisinger purchased from Kevin Ricker!

Hammer is huge in his center body mass and dimension!!! He is opened up end to end and is ideal in his squareness to his hock and flexibility he offers off of both ends!! For a power hog, he still reads with good extension, elevation, and height at the point of his shoulder. We think this guy can be used to make both extremely competitive Yorkshires, as well as awesome blues when used on those harder made exotic sows that need more body, rib and fleshing ability!

Hammer is a very intriguing breeding piece that offers lots of good!!

Buzz Saw x Shakin’ Hands (Mother of Not Even Close) Bred by Norman Farms EN:1-5 REG #: 595384005

CHAINSAW is our Yorkshire boar purchase from the 2017 SWTC in Belton that we have very high hopes for! Genetically, CHAINSAW puts together some very intriguing individuals! Sired by the $50,000 Buzz Saw and out of the 2013 STC 12,000 Shakin Hands sow that has been an absolute generator for the Normans, most notably producing the $130,000 Not Even Close!

CHAINSAW is one unique Yorkshire boar! He combines so many positive traits not often found in one package. Incredibly heavy boned and big footed! He is tall fronted, good looking, with a stout “HE-BOAR” skull. Really good in the spring and turn to his upper rib shape and spread up high. He hinges and drives off his hind leg with authority and great range of motion. This boar reads like one that can make a big splash making better barrows, boars, and gilts! He is bred to be UNIQUE, his phenotype is UNIQUE-we expect him to make a special impact!
