Lot #: 28
Secret Society Barrow

Sold for : $675

Reg #: 19-4

This next pig is the other littermate we offered in the sale to the pig above. This pig closely resembles his sister. If they weren't different genders we would probably confuse them with each other. This is another barrow that will be easy feeding and productive as well as maintaining plenty of shape and look.

Lot #: 29
All Day Gilt

Sold for : $700

Reg #: 18-5

If this lot 29 gilt doesn't catch your eye then we don't know what will. This is probably one of the most unique pigs we've ever produced and that's saying something. This lot 29 gilt is out of Kadyn's 2019 Spokane Jr Livestock Show entry named Bertha. Bertha is a Wedding Night x Footloose sow. We bought Bertha's mom out of Ottenwalters Ladies of our Lagacy sale in the summer of 2018. Bertha was then born out of that sow along with 12 other pigs in one of the best litters we have ever owned and raised. Including Bertha, we kept 4 gilts out of that litter, and retained 2 boars out of that litter which we later sold to other herds. Bertha got second in her class to the reserve champion out in Spokane last spring, as well as was in the hunt in the grand drive in the gilt portion of that show. A few weeks later Bertha won Reserve Champion market hog at the 2019 Golden Triangle Preview in Great Falls, MT. Bertha was then bred to All Day last fall and we got a litter this January. Lot 29 is one of the few gilts we will be offering out of that litter. She is an absolute freak of nature. This gilt is thick everywhere! She's stout skulled and upheaded as well as maintains a neat muscle pattern! Plus, she has the feet and legs of a baby elephant. A super heavy skeletoned gilt that we cannot wait to see in the future! You won't be able to look over this one!

Lot #: 30
All Day Gilt

Sold for : $725

Reg #: 18-4

Lot 30 is the second and last of the Bertha daughters we decided to put in the sale this year. In our minds this gilt reminds us a lot of her mother, she's bold centered, big footed and cleaned necked! This is another pig in our sale that we believe doesn't have a lot of holes!

Sancho Gilt

This chromed gilt is the definite outlier in her respective pen! Not only is she the only gilt in a pen stacked with barrows, but she is arguably the tallest shouldered one in the whole pen!

This son of hers is level hip, bold sided, and stout skulled. He also gives a trendy and flashy look from the side! Super interesting barrow right here!

Red Wedding Barrow

Sold for : $300

Reg #: 23-1

The second and last duroc and purebred in the sale! This little guy differs from his littermate brother in a lot of ways. He's shorter backed, and we read him as being bolder in his forearm. We really like this guy in terms of his rib and dimension as well! Litter 23's biggest similarity is their red shape! We like this darker colored dude a lot! Plus, hes cute!!!

Lot #: 34
Wedding Night Gilt

Sold for : $550

Reg #: 25-8

These litter 25 pigs are VERY EXCITING!!! If you have a late fair or even want a potential NILE pig, look no further! We like this first gilt A LOT! Her mom is a Sunshine & Whiskey x Hillbilly Bone 1-4 that we purchased as a bred gilt out of Ottenwalters Ladies of our Legacy sale last summer. We kept one gilt out of that litter and then rebred her to the same boar that she was paired with when we bought her, Wedding Night. We've raised quite a few Wedding Night pigs in our day and this sows late January litter fits the bill tremendously! Lot 34 is a pen favorite for us. She's long strided, and holds her head in an arrogant and cocky manner not to mention her sexy hip and hind third. She ties super neatly into the top of her blade, and provides an absolute killer of a side profile! You can't miss this one!

Another black gilt out of Spencer's sow Spotty. We forgot to mention that Spotty is a littermate sister to a gilt Kadyn showed in 2016 named Jazzy.
