We have seen many changes and an evolution in management practices, hog types, and production systems in the five decades that we have been involved in the breeding stock business. As we review the past animals that have contributed to our success, and ultimately our customers success, a strong pattern emerges in terms of the phenotypic characteristics that those individuals have in common. They were all correct in their structure, with sound feet and legs. They were wider bodied than many of the animals that were their contemporaries, heavier structured, and leveler in their design. Also nearly all of these animals were extra productive and fertile. Truly superior breeding stocks are efficient in their reproductive capabilities. We believe these are unchanging fundamentals common to improving a species of livestock no matter what the latest fad might be in the show ring. The other bedrock of superior breeding stock is the honesty and integrity of the family that produces it. We believe our reputation in this regard will withstand the most intense scrutiny. We invite you to review the rest of this site and call or email if we can be of assistance in supplying any of your breeding stock, and show pig needs. Thank you.
