Battleship is one of the most intriguing boars we have ever seen. Bone. Body. Mass. He is as extreme in these areas as any boar out there. He does this while also being a fast growing, functionally designed, super correct boar. He is the kind of boar that will generate the kind of gilts that are winning the big shows.
JJI7 Tiger 64-9

We feel that this powerful breeding boar has the best hip and hind leg that we have seen. His skeletal make-up and design are ideal for making show gilts or barrows. He has matured into one massive, wide, stout boar. It's difficult to find one that is this flexible, up-headed, and level designed, while also being this blown apart.
Head Hunter
Crossbow X Immortal's Mother
Semen available at $75/dose
Reserve Champion, 2007 Southwest Crossbred Bonanza
Head Hunter is one stout made, big hipped, super sound crossbred boar. He has the width going away that everybody wants, while also being an extremely attractive, up-headed boar. With his genetic package we expect him to have a tremendous impact making winning barrows and generating females. He is ideal to use on loose made, big bodied Yorkshire sows.
"Free Spirit"
Spirit x Thunder
We teamed up with Prairie State and Tracy Lorenzen to buy this Rodibaugh boar from the 2007 Summer Conference. We thought he was the best designed boar in the barn that didn't give up any width, bone, and natural thickness. Free Spirit's structural correctness- backed up by a program that is known for their fantastic females- make him a great candidate for making foundation females that generate big time showpigs.
"Par 5"
One x Timepiece
Semen available at $100/dose
Our purchase from Chuck and Ben Olsen that has us extremely excited. He has the massive bone and natural width to make champion barrows, with the design and structural correctness to make great females.
"First Class"
Frequent Flyer x Arctic Blast
We kept half interest in First Class when we sold him to Prairie State as we want to use this boar in our program. Heavy-boned, big-footed, wide made with a design that makes him a dual-purpose sire -- both barrows and replacement females. His dam has weaned 55 pigs in 5 litters and is a generating female. For semen contact Prairie State at 800-282-0428.
"Scout 19-5"
Captain 19-2 x Solution
The Captain son we had to keep. Out of an outstanding Solution sow, he will carry on the Captain tradition of sound, productive show hogs. Scout is in stud at Prairie State Semen Supply.

"Roughneck 8-4"
Reputation x Take control
We teamed up with Grimm Yorkshires to buy this exciting young boar at the 2006 Southwest Type Conference. Both Jim and I felt this was the breeding boar of the show. Extreme in his bonework and very big footed and sound,yet clean fronted with a very maternal pedigree. For semen contact Jim Grimm at 563-428-4667.
