Little behind but excited about the one we are bringing to The Elite.

1-3 Cross Gilt Belt Buckle x Wide Wake x Tricked out x Never Before

If this one’s pedigree doesn’t get you excited her picture should. Her mom would have been a mate to the calico gilt we sold last year at The Elite that had much success for Trey Brown. Grandma would be a foundation Sow around our place and yes she is Mad Dogs mom. We usually don’t let females out of this bloodline leave our farm and when we do they don’t change ownership. Here’s your chance!

Excited to be bringing 2 we think highly of to The Draft with the Hofstatter family!

Pedigree reads Hang Tight x Slap Happy ( Mad Dogs sister)

Mad Dog is the boar we raised last year that is at Showtime Sires now. If you don’t know, his pedigree is as deep as we have had (Slap Happy x Tricked Out x Never Before).

We are excited for our opportunity to offer these two to the public at the Draft in Toulon.

Be sure to look us up March 2nd

Excited to see not only what this one can do for us but others. Out of a deep litter with a pedigree to get anyone excited.

Bred with Hofstatter

"Mad Dog"

Slap Happy x Tricked Out x Never Before

Bred by Dobbles Showpigs

Wow factor individual here with impeccable genetic royalty all the way through! Mother would be from Deterding and is a littermate to Fullswing at PBG! The Never Before grandma would also be a littermate to the 2020 overall grand at the American Royal bred by Bobell! The combination of blood here is very intriguing, Slap Happy (Backslap x Stay classy's littermate sister) x Tricked out x Never Before x Aftermath x Red 7 x Best Man!! This should make all pedigree junkies excited!

His pedigree makes total sense when you evaluate Mad Dog. He's got the incredible dense, dark hair coat you would expect from the Wintex line with huge (for real..HUGE) feet and legs all while being totally flexible and comfortable throughout his skeleton and hock cushion! He is exactly what his picture shows from the profile, dead level spine with great length of neck but still dense about his skull! We believe this one is destined to make striking show barrows but also generating females as you'd expect from his dam side! Awesome boar hog from the Dobbles firm!
