These meetings and interviews brought many people that are very passionate about the activities and programs provided by the National Swine Registry and the National Junior Swine Association. Each candidate brought different thoughts and new ideas. Their ideas gave us an opportunity to see how others view what we do. One of the candidates mentioned during his interview that he was a ‘digital native.’ His term referring to the change in how most of our members do business with the different social media platforms struck a chord with me. I’ll admit that while I can navigate the digital world, I’m far from a native. But I was fortunate to grow up in the purebred swine industry, so I’d call myself a ‘stockman native.’ I have seen all the type changes in our industry over the years and some have repeated themselves more than once. Today, I hear rumblings in this country about the number of gilts that will not breed or cannot have pigs naturally and require a C-section. Folks, I’m not telling you what type of animals to raise, but I do want to provide a brief history lesson with the different trends I have seen over the years, and the issues we created by going to extremes with each type. We raised heavy-muscled, smallerframed pigs in the ’60s and sold them on a ham/loin index. (Remember, we marketed animals at 200 lbs during this time.) My father was glad he had sons Take time to evaluate your breeding program and how you select your next herd boar or foundation female. Instead of simply selecting the ‘-est,’ try searching for the ‘best.’ with smaller arms to assist these females delivering their litters. When we realized that we went to the extreme with this small, heavy-muscled type, we made a concerted effort to breed taller-fronted, longer-bodied animals. We were successful in breeding taller-fronted pigs in the ’70s, but they were also flat ribbed and flat muscled. Once again, we went to the extreme edge of type and produced animals that did not have the ability to get up and down in the crates. Without having the correct curvature to their rib, these females came out of the farrowing rooms in poor condition, and many wouldn’t rebreed. Again, we realized that we went to the extreme edge with this type, so we started using more moderate, heavy-conditioned boars. We continued this trend in the ’80s, until we pushed the type too far, yet again. Once more, we had females that were unable to farrow litters and raise their pigs productively. To top it off, the market demanded a leaner product. Striving to meet this demand, producers imported animals from Europe that moved our genetic lines off center to reach the goal of leaner hogs with higher cutability. But we made animals too lean, too tight gutted, and they grew too slowly. These females did not have the ability to consume enough feed to stay productive and moved out of our herd too quickly. In the early 2000s, we came to realize we’d pushed our genetics too far off center to be productive, so we bred hogs with more rib, depth and width of body, bone and heaviness of structure. Today, I’m concerned that we have moved too far with this type of animal. When we hear the terms like, “widest coming at you,” “heaviest structured,” “deepest ribbed” and “softest made” to describe our females, I’m afraid that these terms relate to those sows that can’t breed or have pigs on their own. Maybe, it is the ‘-est’ part that concerns me most. I realize that to make a change in your breeding program, you might need to reach out and incorporate some of the ‘-est’ traits, but your whole herd does not need to fit in the ‘-est’ box. Take time to evaluate your breeding program and how you select your next herd boar or foundation female. Instead of simply selecting the ‘-est,’ try searching for the ‘best.’ As I mentioned, I may not be a digital native that can navigate through all the latest gadgets, but as a stockman native, I have seen enough industry trends and change to navigate through genetic improvement.

It is simply human nature, and we are all guilty of it. As a result, this usually stamps a pessimistic outlook on one’s attitude. Unfortunately, life will continue to give us responsibilities we are not always fond of and present us with negative information and circumstances that we do not want to encounter. However, we do not have to program this negativity into our brains. One of the most important measures you can take toward achieving your full potential is learning how to monitor your attitude and its impact on everything and everyone around you. In truth, people, generally, are not aware of their attitude and how it affects others – it governs the way you perceive the world, and the way the world perceives you. Similar to a lot of you who are taking the time to read this, Kaley, Brian and I travel quite a bit for our NJSA shows and events, and we are faced with many different tasks before, during and after the shows. There are times when we miss out on events with our families and friends or are challenged with difficult situations at these events. Believe me, these are circumstances that could leave a bitter taste in one’s mouth or have a negative effect on an experience. However, one valuable lesson I have learned within my role at the NSR is to realize it is not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond. Take a moment to ask yourself this, “How is my attitude going to affect my surroundings?” This is something everyone should ask themselves, in every we may have hoped for a different outcome, but the best way to handle these experiences is to look at it in a positive light and move on. Learn from these experiences by choosing a positive attitude. Besides, people like to be around people that are positive! “One valuable lesson I have learned within my role here at the NSR is to realize it’s not what happens to you that matters; it’s how you choose to respond.” situation. For example, at shows, we all have been frustrated for different reasons, such as not doing as well as we would have liked in a competition or we did not agree with a judge’s opinion. Now, take a second to reflect and think about how you reacted. Was it positive or negative? Is this something you want people to remember you by? How would you feel, if someone acted that way around you? One thing to keep in mind – there is always somebody watching and looking up to you. Turn your frustrations or negativity into something good. When you are put in these types of settings, this is a perfect opportunity to not only flip it into a positive experience, but this is also a great teaching moment. Everything that happens to you in your life is a learning experience. Sure, The loudest and most influential voice you hear is your own. You are your own critic, and depending on the messages you allow, it can work with you or against you. In reality, we all have a choice as to what we want to be known for and how we impact the lives of others. There are numerous things in this world we cannot control; however, one thing we can control is our attitude. My favorite quote comes out of the book, The Pigman by Paul Zindel, and he could not say it any better. “Our life would be what we made of it – nothing more, nothing less.” Remember, attitudes are contagious – and a positive one is worth catching.

When I agreed to be a part of past NSR Marketing & Communications’ intern Libby William’s wedding, I was so excited that I hadn’t put much thought into the fact that I would be flying all the way to Colorado where I knew no one – and I mean no one – but Libby herself. Although I’m not shy by any stretch of the imagination, I was still worried about the prospect of flying halfway across the country to be a part of a wedding party with people I never met. After the wheels touched down in the Mile High City, I headed to the reception hall to help set up. I took a deep breath as I walked through the doors, and then something surprising happened. It was like I had known these people all along, because they were my type of people – livestock people. Besides Libby, the wedding party consisted of two other past National Swine Registry interns who enjoyed their summer in West Lafayette, Ind., before I joined the NSR team, a past Black Hawk East livestock judging team member who judged with our own Whitney Hosier and was coached by Brian Arnold, showpig breeders who advertised in the Seedstock EDGE and other livestock judgers, exhibitors and enthusiasts. It turns out that it isn’t hard to strike up a conversation with people who share the same interests as you do. “Were you able to go to the state fair in the Midwest?” “I heard the high-seller in Indiana was smokin’ good.” “What was the Colorado State Fair show like, now that it’s pedigreed?” “It wasn’t bad at all – the top-end looked really good, especially the Yorkshires.” Amid all the lace, roses and festivities, I relearned something that I knew all along. It’s not the banners, the genetics or even the good pigs that make work, integrity and a firm handshake. Sadly, these characteristics are becoming harder and harder to come by. Even in my short lifetime, I’ve seen the world become a darker place, but amid all of the chaos, livestock people have always been a bright beam of hope. In this issue, you’ll read about Dick Nash. For those that know Nash, you know that he is a man who will tell you exactly what he thinks, but he is also one who will help a 4-Her get started “Amid all the lace, roses and festivities, I relearned something that I knew all along. It’s not the banners, the genetics or even the good pigs that make my job enjoyable – it’s the people.” my job enjoyable – it’s the people. This is a theme I hear over and over again, when I visit with some of the industry greats to write feature stories about their lives and philosophies. Perhaps, this is why I always enjoy visiting with our breeders, because at the end of the day we’re all stockmen and women. Whether we originally held halters of steer shows, braced club lambs or drove good barrows, we all share common ideals. We know what it is like to get up early and take care of our livestock, only to leave the barn well after dark. We know all about the blood, sweat and tears that go into each animal we produce. We know the value of hard with a livestock project. Today, there are about three generations that can credit Nash with some advice they received. When I think back to my week in Colorado and standing with Libby as she said her vows, it makes me happy to know that everyone standing there were young people who can contribute to the proud traditions of the livestock world, just like Nash and the countless other livestock people before them. And it makes me prouder, yet, to know that I work in an industry where there is never a stranger – as long as there is time to break the ice by talking livestock.

For more than 40 years, Hoge has served as an educator and livestock judging team coach at Black Hawk East Community College (BHE) in Kewanee, Ill. During this Dan Hoge (center) was inducted into the National Barrow Show® Hall of tenure, he has been Fame. Presenting Hoge with the award are Mike Paul (r), president of the an undying supporter National Association of Swine Records and Amanda Tiedemann (l) of Horof the National Barrow mel Foods. NBS® and the National Association of Swine Records recognize Show® Judging Contest the countless ways Hoge has contributed his talents to the event and are and an icon of the honored to present him with the award. annual Pilgrimage. When he was a child, Hoge followed his father and legendary Duroc breeder, Elmer Hoge’s, every step on their Walnut, Ill., farm. It was there that Hoge developed a drive to pursue his passion for the livestock industry. He judged for the University of Illinois, where he received his bachelor’s and master’s degrees. After a short time in Extension work, Hoge found a home at nearby Black Hawk East Community College. In 1974, the BHE team won the first junior college division title at the NBS® contest, led by high individual Dave Steck. Over the next 39 years, teams coached by Hoge captured 30 team wins, with more than 20 high individuals. From the time Hoge and fellow coach, Lee Denzer, cooked SPAM® with a team in the school’s auditorium, to the beginning of each school year, when he hands each judging student a copy of the official “Welcome to the National Barrow Show®” postcard, Hoge’s passion for the Barrow Show is contagious. Each fall, he coordinates multiple weekend workouts with fellow coaches, in the Midwest, to help prepare students for the NBS®. Today, former judging students from across the country still remember their trip to Austin, Minn., and many recall lessons learned from Hoge at a workout on the way to the contest. These same lessons have proved invaluable in the professional careers of countless students that were fortunate enough to study under Hoge. Even more important to Hoge, than his own NBS® success, is seeing his son, Dr. Mark Hoge, share the same passion for the event and guide students to wins in the Truckload Show and University Judging Contest at Western Illinois University. October/November 2013 10/2/2013 10:30:04 AM Hoge would agree that having a chance to coach talented young students hasn’t been the only reason for success. His wife, Deanna Broer-Hoge, and the Broer family have supported the BHE program, from its inception, by hosting countless preBarrow Show practices as well as animal science labs at the farm. As a former educator, Deanna shares Hoge’s love for developing young people. Hoge is known for his quotes, but none are more famous than, “You’re never done, your roles just change.” At some point, Hoge will retire from coaching, but his role as a mentor and educator will forever live in those he’s coached over the years. The National Association of Swine Records (NASR) and the National Barrow Show® are honored to present this Hall of Fame award to Dan Hoge of Cambridge, Ill. The NSR staff would like to thank Hoge for his years of service to the swine industry and congratulate him on being named the 2013 Hall of Fame inductee.

The National Barrow Show® Sire Progeny Tests were developed as a ‘Genetics of Meat Quality’ industry research project, in 1990. Design of the project was led by Dr. Lauren Christian of Iowa State University, Bob Wells of Hormel Foods and the breed secretaries of NASR. Meat quality testing was supported by a $220,000 Pork Checkoff research grant from the National Pork Producers Council (NPPC). Goodwin was the NPPC director of research and a PhD student at Iowa State University, so he was assigned the duties of data management and analysis. The ‘Genetics of Meat Quality’ research project ended, after three years, and the participants agreed to continue the progeny tests with support from Hormel Foods, NASR and NPPC. The structure of the Progeny Tests makes them useful for providing additional research information.

Some carcasses from the 1996-1999 Tests were used in total carcass separation projects to develop lean prediction equations. Purebred sire EPDs for meat quality traits were published by NPPC, in 1996. Goodwin managed the data for these projects, as well as calculating sire indexes for each NBS®, from 1991-2008. More than 30 scientific and industry publications have been based on the NBS® Sire Progeny Test results and the associated projects. Goodwin received a bachelor’s degree with distinction in farm operation from Iowa State University. In 1989, Goodwin received a master’s degree in animal breeding from Iowa State University. He received the J. Morrissey Memorial Award for Outstanding Swine Breeding Student, in both ’86 and ’87. Goodwin received a Doctor of Philosophy in animal breeding with a minor in genetics from Iowa State University, in 1994. His major professors were Dr. Lauren Christian and Dr. Jeffrey Berger. Goodwin also received the Charles Stanislaw Distinguished Service Award, in 2000, from the National Swine Improvement Federation. Goodwin is owner of Kurobuta Berkshires LLC, a 300 sow Berkshire herd. They also market 100 percent Pure Berkshire Pork certified by the American Berkshire Association domestically and internationally. Congratulations to Goodwin for receiving the Distinguished Service Award.

Bryson was recognized as a long-time supporter of purebred Hampshire swine. Starting in the Hampshire business with his father, the Brysons first recorded animals under L.W. Bryson & Sons, until L.W. retired. Then, the animals were recorded under Robert Bryson, and as his children became involved in exhibiting animals, it was changed to Robert Bryson & Family. As the swine industry accepted the three-way breeding scheme, Durocs and Yorkshires were added to their swine operation. The Bryson family was recognized in 2003 for being a 50-year exhibitor at the Minnesota State Fair. Bryson was awarded the Premier Exhibitor or was recognized as the owner of the Premier Sire 15 times over the years. Robert Bryson of Alden, Minn., gathers with his family to accept the National Swine Registry CEO Mike Paul presented Bryson with Meritorious Service Award presented by the Hampshire Swine Registry a plaque in recognition of this honor and on the plaque it states, during the 2013 National Barrow Show®. “For personal contributions towards the improvement of purebred Hampshires.” The Hampshire Swine Registry is a member of the National Swine Registry, which is located in West Lafayette, Ind.

SEEDSTOCK EDGE • 19 10/2/2013 10:30:12 AM Feature Article Man of Conviction By Katie Maupin On a small piece of Nash & Nash Lean Pork letterhead, “from the desk of Dick,” came this note neatly written with only one small scribble in the last sentence. Common sense is the knack of seeing things the way they are, and doing things as they ought to be done. – Joel Billings, 1818-1885 If all else fails, try this. Sincerely, Dick Nash 20 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 20 October/November 2013 10/2/2013 10:30:17 AM n y y 5 N ational Swine Registry CEO Mike Paul stashed that little reminder away and still has it nearly a decade after it was mailed from Nash’s Sharpsville, Ind., home. For those that know Nash, the note rings true to his nature. He has an innate way of seeing things the way that they are, doing things the way he believes is right and telling you just what he feels about an issue. No, Nash isn’t a man of flowery words. In fact, he’s a man of few. But throughout his five decades in the purebred swine business he created a legacy in the belted breed that still remains today, more than five years after he sold his last sow. Nash had commercial swine roots. His father, William G. Nash, raised commercial pigs on their farm for as long as Nash can remember. But when he started showing pigs in 4-H, in the early-’50s, he knew exactly what kind of swine project he wanted – Hampshire. He doesn’t quite recall what led him to the belted breed, but if Nash had to guess he’d tell you it was because they were so much prettier than the others. Something he believes still holds true today. Operating as William G. Nash and Sons Hampshires, the Nash family soon made a reputation as the go-to place for Hampshire seedstock, and Nash made a name for himself in the show ring. In 1954 and 1956, Nash exhibited the Grand Champion Barrow at the International Livestock Exhibition in Chicago. Those were some of his proudest moments as a youth exhibitor. “I even got to go downtown with the girl who had the Champion Steer, and we were on TV,” Nash recalls. “And I got to miss a week of school, so that was real nice.” But, it wasn’t the ribbons that meant the most to Nash; it was the people he met along the way. This was an inherited trait from William G. Nash recalls, his father taught him it was best to conduct both business and life with an honest, no-nonsense approach, and Nash believes that is part of what made their seedstock business so successful. “My dad always treated everyOctober/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 21 one like he’d treat his own mother,” Nash says. “I guess his feelings on that always stuck with me, and long term, there wasn’t any question that it paid off in big dividends.” But others will tell you it was the Nash family’s ability to breed good hogs that made them a force in the purebred industry for decades. And who could argue? Before AI became commonplace and a piece of the best boar in the country could be shipped to your door overnight for just a couple hundred dollars, purebred breeders had to put together their own herdsire battery. They scoured the country for the best boars their money could buy, and for many that boar was raised by Nash. The William G. Nash and Sons crew showed some of the best in the nation during that time. In 1962, all of the Junior Champion Hampshire Boars and Gilts at the Illinois, Indiana and Ohio State Fairs, with the exception of one winner, were raised by Nash and sired by their herdsire Tabulator, which they purchased from Ruben Edwards. Since the family farrowed every month to meet the high demand for their stock and ran anywhere from 70 to 250 sows, they had enough prospects that they could show a separate string of animals at each state fair, before offering them at their annual fall sale. SEEDSTOCK EDGE • 21 10/2/2013 10:30:21 AM Feature Article Not only were Nash’s hogs proven winners in the ring, but they also proved they could perform in test stations in the ’70s and ’80s. This lethal mix of performance and phenotype caused breeders to travel from across the country to buy Hampshires in Sharpsville. Retired Michigan State University animal science educator, swine farm manager and judging coach Al Snedegar recalls a time when Nash genetics were in such demand that the sales would last well into the night. “There were years, when their boar sales were so good that they had to start bringing them out of lots to sell, still covered in mud and not even numbered up,” he says. During the heyday of purebred, offthe-farm boar sales in the early ’70s, the Nash family was able to sell more than 100 boars at two of their farm sales. And they would always sell 100-150 head of commercial gilts, bringing the females in the ring in groups of 10 with the option to have choice or take all – most took all. Although commercial boar and gilt sales were their bread and butter for years and years, the Nash family always had a soft spot for 4-H kids. In fact, they had one of the first club pig sales in the country and decided to sell gilts first. “The value of the 4-H project was to get a female and raise her, then keep her and raise your own pigs,” Nash says. “That was just one of our philosophies.” Darrell Drake, owner of Drake Purebreds and longtime friend of the Nash family, was one of the 4-H members who purchased seedstock from Nash. He purchased a boar to breed his project gilts to, when he was just 10-years-old. Since that purchase Drake has considered Nash a mentor. “I’ve got as much respect for him as anyone I’ve met,” Drake says. “He’s always been honest and up front with me, and he has always treated me well and given me advice. I’ve talked to him constantly, since I was 14-years-old, and I still talk to him on a regular basis today. He’s always been a mentor.” Drake is just one of many established purebred breeders that refer to Nash as a mentor, a changer and 22 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 22 someone that they’ve looked up to. Although Snedegar is just a couple years Nash’s minor, he has always considered Nash a mentor, as well. In fact, to this day, Snedegar will not judge a major show without calling Nash to prepare, and he calls knowing that Nash will tell him exactly what he thinks. “Those who know Dick pretty well will tell you that you never have to guess what he is thinking,” Snedegar says. “He isn’t real into political correctness and never has been, but he can analyze pigs and analyze them real fast. I’ve always had him talk to my judging teams – not just about animals, but life in general.” Snedegar always appreciated Nash’s frank talk and honest opinions, but as an educator he appreciated the way Nash guided young people even more. Mike Watson, of George and Mike Watson Hampshires, was one of those young people Nash took under his wing. In fact, he credits Nash for getting him where he is today. Although he’d known Nash since he was a 4-H member, often buying breeding stock from the family, his first true Nash experience was when Nash called him out of the blue and asked him to ride along to Austin, Minn., to the National Barrow Show®. The then 21-year-old Watson pumped questions at him the entire trip, and since that time he’s traveled with Nash quite often. “For an established man in the business to take time and spend it with me at that age was great,” Watson says. “He took the time – and he didn’t have to – to pass along information.” Nash has never minded visiting with young people though. “I don’t know if I’ve mentored them, but I’ve given them lots of free opinions,” laughs Nash. “I just try to give them some things and tell them about some of the mistakes I’ve made along the way.” Out of all the banners, plaques and photos that remain of Nash’s years in the show and sale ring, perhaps one of his greatest honors was presented to him on July 21, 2009 by the 4-H youth of his native Tipton County, Ind. There’s no mistaking the hint of pride in his voice as he reads the inscription. “Your vision and leadership for making better hogs is only overshadowed by your passion for making better people,” it reads. Today, there are no Hampshire sows on the Nash family farm. There haven’t been for six years this fall. After the tremendous days of selling seedstock throughout the country, the Nash dynasty hit its first major hardship when it was struck with pseudorabies in the early ’80s. After clawing back from the disease, they watched the demand for herd boars slowly dwindle with the use of AI and commercial genetic companies. And, slowly, they reduced their numbers. When the last sow left the farm, Nash not only sold her, but all of the feeders and waters as well, before he pushed down the hog buildings. He says that way he isn’t tempted to get back into the business. Today, he’s busy chasing his wife, Nan, and grandkids around. He’s even bought a couple Boer goat does to raise some projects for the grandchildren. Nash has always been a fan of the horse track and partners with some other pig breeders to buy yearling pacers, each fall. With everything on his plate, he says he has no regrets – not about the time he spent in the industry, the hours he spent helping others learn about it or the fact that he decided to get out. “Everyone asks me if I miss the hogs, and I tell them no because I’ve done about everything you can do with them,” Nash says. “We went to every show you could possibly go to. We’ve won anything you could possibly win, and I met the greatest group of people that God ever blessed with breath. That is what makes it all worthwhile.” Dick Nash’s family October/November 2013 10/2/2013 10:30:23 AM Santoro Swine Genetics Introducing ONE-EYED JACK: This Jack is going to deal you a real good Picture hand.

Instead, it is converted into pork by-products that can show up in the most unexpected places in our homes. But, what is most significant about these by-products is the contribution they make to a swine producer’s bottom line. By-products are all the parts of the pig that are not included in the dressed carcass. They include the skin, blood, fat and other edible and inedible parts. Pork by-products make up about 30 percent of the liveweight of hogs and contribute more than six percent to the market value of hogs, according to a 2011 report by the USDA. During the last ten years, the demand for pork by-products has caused the overall value of live hogs to increase, which means a higher price for producers. U.S. pork by-products are even demanded by other countries, adding more value to market hogs. On average, edible by-products make up 30 percent of the volume of U.S. pork exports, while inedible by-products make up one-fifth of U.S. pork exports. Both the total amount of pork exports and their value have steadily risen for the past two decades. In 2010, edible pork by-product exports from the U.S. were valued at $700 million. Mexico is the largest importer of U.S. pork edible by-products, receiving 42 percent of the exports, according to the most recent report from the USDA. October/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 25 Inedible by-products are processed, and then, used in various household and industrial products. In processing, the tissues are first heated so the fats and oils can be skimmed off. Then they’re converted to a form which can be further used to make products such as buttons, chalk and shoes. Inedible by-products are also used to advance human medicine. Glands from pigs can be removed at slaughter and used for medicine, serums, vaccines and antigens. Human transplants are also done using pig skin, heart valves, brain cells and lungs. Pig intestines are used for surgical sutures; bones provide calcium and phosphorus; and bone cartilage can be used to repair damaged human cartilage. For most of these medical uses, synthetic products do not produce the desired results as well as the pork by-products. Edible by-products make up about 14 percent of the liveweight of hogs. They are commonly called variety meats and edible fats. Variety meats include the brains, heart, kidneys and other organs. They are considered delicacies in some parts of the world, especially Asian countries. Variety meats are good sources of essential nutrients and vitamins A, C, D and B complex. The edible fats are usually further processed and used in products like ice cream or jellied foods. Although we may not realize it, pigs have many more uses than providing the bacon for our BLTs. Almost everything you use on a daily basis includes a pork by-product, even this paper you are holding, which is made from the bones. In fact, there are more than 99 products made from pork by-products, and lucky for swine producers, these many uses add value to market hogs.

Other leadership activities: Member of the Carroll Wrestling Club and assistant coach for middle school wrestling. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or UDSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: I believe that the National Swine Registry and the United Duroc Swine Registry’s role should be to keep focusing on promoting and marketing purebred livestock. This needs to be done not only nationwide, but worldwide. We need to stay involved with youth programs, such as the NJSA. Those programs are so important for young people. We need to keep young people involved, in order to keep the swine industry living. These youth programs mold the next generation and with that, we can help create more enthusiasm for purebred livestock. We need to continue emphasizing the importance of purebreds to the swine industry. 28 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 28 AT-LARGE • Brett Beyers, Ill.

Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or UDSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: I believe the NSR and UDSR’s most important roles should be to maintain pedigree information for current and future breeders, and to stress the importance of registering litters. Additionally, I think they need to continue to maintain and improve the National Junior Swine Association, as well as encourage young breeders and try to help them get started in the industry.

Please describe what you feel the NSR and/ or UDSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: We need to continue to stress the importance of youth shows and other activities in order to develop leadership and communication skills in young people. I also strongly value the importance of purebreds and the need for purebred pedigreed shows, and also the importance of purebreds for export markets.

October/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 29 SEEDSTOCK EDGE • 29 10/2/2013 10:30:48 AM Feature Article Hampshire Swine Registry Candidates EASTERN • Brad Mortensen, Mich. Brad Mortensen, 36, of Kent City, Mich., and his wife, Terria, have two daughters: Brenna, 6; and Macy, 3. Size and scope of operation: Brad and his father, Ed, run approximately 15 Hampshire, 10 crossbred and five Yorkshire sows for use in showpig production and replacement stock for other small to mid-size producers. They also house three to five herd boars for semen sales and on-farm use. Pork leadership activities: Current superintendent of swine for Michigan Livestock Expo., and member of Michigan Pork Producers. Other leadership activities: Member of Mamrelund Lutheran Church and avid supporter of Michigan State Spartan Athletics. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or HSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: I feel the NSR has two important roles in today’s purebred swine industry. One is to continue to help producers of all sizes with a traceable pedigree that allows them to market their stock through various forms of sales with predictability and integrity that both the buyer and seller can be confident in to improve the genetic base. The second is to continue to act as a parent organization and assist with the stabilization of the NJSA and other youthrelated fields in all aspects of agriculture. I firmly believe the HSR must continue to improve by maintaining the integrity of the breed through breed character, DNA records and promotions to give breeders the unique marketability of a purebred Hampshire. The HSR must also continue to find new ways to garner interest in the Hampshire breed throughout the country, as well gain access to some portion of the global markets. EASTERN • Jim McCoy, Ohio Jim McCoy, 55, of Bloomington, Ohio, has three children: Mike, Melissa and Melanie; and his fiancée, Amanda Ivey, has one son, Zander. McCoy has six grandchildren: Libby, 8; Mallory, 6; Maya, 4; Max, 4; Reid, 1 ½; and Sarah, 8 months. Size and scope of operation: Coowns Real McCoy Genetics, a 100-sow breeding stock and showpig operation made up of Hampshire, Yorkshire, Spot, Berkshire and crossbred sows. They also have a 50-head boar stud with purebred and crossbred boars. Pork leadership activities: Ohio Hampshire Breeders Board of Directors member and past president, Fayette Co. Pork Producers Board past president, officiated multiple judging contests from 4-H to collegiate levels, member of NJSA Youth Advisory Board and current chairman and a swine show judge for the past 31 years on the county, state and national levels. Other leadership activities: Local Farm Bureau Board member and member of various church committees. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or HSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: We need to continue to encourage young breeders to get involved in raising Hampshires. We also need to stress the importance of the breed in creating more product in the crossbred scheme, both in the show ring and commercial setting. I also think, as breeders, we need to recognize the weaknesses in the breed, stop tolerating problems as being “OK,” correct them and intensify the effort to solidify the positive things we already have to offer. Perseverance is a word learned throughout life and the Hampshire business is no exception. CENTRAL • Jesse Heimer, Mo. Jesse Heimer, 32, of Taylor, Mo., and wife, Amy, have a son, Max, and a daughter, Harper. Size and scope of operation: Owns and operates Heimer Hampshires, a 150-sow operation that consists of Hampshire, Yorkshire and crossbred sows focusing on the production of showpigs and breeding stock. The primary focus of the operation is to produce gilt and barrow prospects for young people to feed and show competitively at all levels nationwide. Pork leadership activities: Board member of Missouri Youth Showpig Circuit, founding board member and past president of NJSA and Marion County Pork Producers member. 30 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 30 Other leadership activities: Marion County Farm Bureau Board member, Class XII Agriculture Leadership of Tomorrow (ALOT), Marion County Junior Fair, Rotary International Exchange in New Zealand and former State FFA Officer. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or HSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: The NSR and HSR must continue to seek ways to promote value of the breed and, ultimately, uphold the established mission statement. As a Hampshire breeder, I believe it is critically important that the NSR and HSR consider sustainable programs and practices that will promote growth within the breed. Most importantly, I am interested in working with others to maintain the momentum and excitement of the NJSA.

Size and scope of operation: Operates WinTex Farms, a 180-sow operation focused on the production of breeding stock and showpigs, and WinTex Boar Stud which houses 25 boars. The farm also includes 1,200 acres of cotton and grain cropland and 175 ewes for show lamb production. Pork leadership activities: Texas Pork Producers Executive Board member, HSR Board representative, NSR Executive Board member, San Antonio Barrow Show superintendent, San Angelo Stars Gilt Show and Sale superintendent and past local, county and state leadership councils. Other leadership activities: Church finance chairman and vision committee member. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or HSR’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: I think the NSR and the HSR board needs to stay focused on the task of promoting purebreds in all areas of the country. We need to stimulate young breeders to be our new leaders with the fundamentals and basics of longevity in purebred production. American Landrace Association Candidates AT-LARGE • Lynsee Shaffer Pullen, Ind. Lynsee Pullen, 25, and her husband, Kyle, reside in Walton, Ind. Lynsee is the daughter of Terry and Michelle Shaffer. Size and scope of operation: Shaffer’s Goldrush operates a boar stud and showpig operation in east-central Indiana. We offer 80 herdsire boars of all breeds to provide quality semen to breeders, and our 125-head sow herd provides a variety of showpigs for our customers to choose from. We serve customers across the United States with both our semen and showpigs. Pork leadership activities: Offers swine clinics throughout the year educating youth about feeding, showing, clipping and other related topics, serves as the Indiana Duroc Queen advisor, served as the 2009-2010 NJSA Junior Board president and served on the Indiana Junior Swine Circuit Board. Other leadership activities: Coaches the Lewis Cass High School Livestock Judging Team. The second role, which I feel is a growing and an extremely important role, is working closely with the NJSA to promote the Landrace breed with today’s youth. Today’s youth are the future of the swine industry, and I feel that there is no better organization then the National Junior Swine Association to help grow and develop youth. The more NJSA members get excited about the Landrace breed, the more opportunities breeders have to sell their genetics. Most of the shows do not offer Landrace boar classes. I feel we need to work to get more involvement among breeders at shows. A goal of mine is to bring back the boar and gilt shows at NSR events. This will help increase the numbers of the breed, thus increase litter registration and transfers. From this aspect, I think it generates from the number of NJSA members that want to show Landraces; a supply and demand scenario. One way to encourage more member involvement is to hold brief Landrace member meetings that the NSR hosts so breeders and members become more educated on the importance of a Landrace herd. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or ALA’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: The NSR and the American Landrace Association is the main way of marketing the Landrace breed. I think that the American Landrace Association serves two roles. The first role is what the swine industry has been built on for many years and the reason the association was formed: working with commercial and seedstock producers. Landrace are known as one of the mother breeds for their ability to lay down and raise large litters. Landrace females and boars play a huge role in the commercial-side of the industry. I feel that the NSR and the American Landrace Association need to continue to promote this breed on both the national and global level. This is done through programs like STAGES™ and working closely with the NSR geneticist.

Other leadership activities: Serving fifth term as mayor of Village of Groveport, Ohio, a community of 4,800; Groveport United Methodist Church member and Ohio Farm Bureau member. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or ALA’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: Our role should be to promote the breed by getting new people involved. We need to continue to improve our junior programs, breeding stock shows and state fairs to ensure purebred status. Pork leadership activities: American Landrace Association Board of Directors member. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or ALA’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: I feel the role of the NSR and the ALA should be to do all they can to educate as many commercial pork producers as possible of the many benefits there are for using purebred genetics for seedstock and genetic improvements. They should inform America’s and the world’s pork producers as to why purebreds offer “more options for success.” American Yorkshire Club Candidates AT-LARGE • Tracy Lorenzen, Ill.

Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or AYC’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: My role as a purebred breeder is assisting today’s junior breeders in making the right breeding decisions to better the quality of Yorkshire hogs. 32 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 32 CENTRAL • Matt Rohrig, Iowa Matt Rohrig, 30, is from Orient, Iowa. Size and scope of operation: Rohrig currently runs about 60-70 Yorkshire and crossbred sows for the production of showpigs and breeding stock. About half of the sows are purebred Yorkshires. Pork leadership activities: Atlarge board member for Iowa Swine Jackpot, president of Iowa Yorkshire Association, Iowa Purebred Swine Council member, 2013 Iowa Master Seedstock Producer Award and Iowa Pork Producers Association member. Please describe what you feel the NSR and/or AYC’s role should be in assisting purebred breeders compete in today’s market: One priority of the NSR needs to be to record and maintain breed purity in all four breeds. Additionally, NSR needs to continue to promote the use of purebred stock in all facets of the industry – from the commercial side to the junior show side/NJSA. I also believe that within the Yorkshire breed and the AYC, we need to remember to focus on what Yorkshire hogs are all about – being the mother breed. In an era where many are worried about making purebreds compete with crossbreds in the show ring, we sometimes forget that every breed has a purpose and a priority – they don’t all have to look the same. Within the Yorkshire breed, I feel it is important we have building foundation type females in our focus – it is the cornerstone of the breed, and it will continue to give breeders an edge in an extremely competitive marketplace.

Husband: Eric Child: Maddie-14 Favorite part of being a “Show Mom”: Everything that goes with that special title: the quality time we spend together in the barn, walking pigs and traveling to shows is one of my favorite parts; watching her from the other side of the fence become a better and stronger person, because she is involved in the livestock industry. That’s also an awesome part of being a “Show Mom.” Proudest “Show Mom” Moment: My proudest moment was when Maddie finally won her first belt buckle at the Western Regional. She had been second several times and wanted to win the belt buckle so badly. The smile on her face, when they handed it to her, could have lit up all of California. It was awesome to see all her hard work pay off. But, I am super proud of her everytime she steps in the ring or competes at another contest, at any given show, and gives it 110 percent. Your ability to drive a stock trailer is best described as: Fast and furious, but forward only please! Thank you to all of you out there that have backed up a trailer for me. Favorite NJSA event: We have been to all the NJSA events and each one of them has their own personality. I really do enjoy each one of them for different reasons. It was fun last year at Eastern Regional when we had to take our passports so we could go to the Canadian side of NIagra Falls. We have taken a lot of stuff to pig shows before, but we never had to pack our passports. Your official “Show Mom” show day duties include: Prepping all the pigs for their classes. I am usually the one back at the pens, since Maddie and Eric seem to think I get too nervous up at the ring. Item that you never leave for a show without: Pedigrees and health papers — you can buy anything else along the way. Oh, and my showman, since I only have one. One way you were able to save the day or avert a crisis as a “Show Mom”: I cannot think of a particular incident, but I always pack my cape for shows, just in case I have to swoop in and save the day. Trick to keep those show clothes clean: I have no tricks up my sleeve. Dirty clothes are just part of showing. My only tip would be to become friends with your dry cleaners. Best tip you can give to other “Show Moms”: Enjoy! Another mom once told me when you have kids the days are long, but the years are short. Any parent that has a kid showing livestock knows how long the days can be, and then you look up and the entire season is over.

Sold to Dick & Zack Howell, Ill., for $3,000 From the Field by Brian Anderson, NSR Field Representative What a great time of the year to gather in Austin, Minn., at the Mower County Fairgrounds for the National Barrow Show®. While this year’s temperatures were much warmer than what most would have preferred, the attendance and quality of stock was as good as ever. The Duroc show had many highlights, as usual, but I want to take time to visit about the Hog College® animals to start. The Duroc gilt was bred by Bill and Jana Range of Waterloo, Ill. This was the Range family’s first Hog College® animal, and what a great one she was! She was sired by the popular Huinker boar, Trifecta, and out of the Champion Duroc Female from Oklahoma City two years ago. This lady was sound and productive in her look. She was absolutely phenomenal on her feet and legs, and had a beautiful, feminine look. Dick and Zack Howell of Maroa, Ill., are sure to give this one a fair chance to produce at a high level. The Duroc boar came from the John Huinker program in Decorah, Iowa. Many pages of Duroc history can be written about this firm, and the boar selected from John’s program represents years and years of performance and production. This son of Red Draw 29-1 was tremendous on his feet and legs and could go all day long. He was easy moving, had a lot of power and as good of an underline as any red boar in the drive. This guy will make breeding hogs for Bill and Bane Bates, Gilson, Ill., and allow them to build a sow herd as productive as any. A special thank you goes to the Range and Huinker families for allowing us to utilize their outstanding animals and represent the Duroc breed on Hog College® Row. The Duroc show was another outstanding opportunity to strengthen breeding programs across the country. Many good boars and gilts traded ownership and got great new homes. This year’s Premier Sire was CAIN2 King 1-1, owned by Cain Super Sires, Chariton, Iowa, and this year’s Reserve Premier Sire was SWSWO Wis Okie 1-8, owned by Terry and Blake Schmaling, Delavan, Wis.; Rick May, Ada, Okla.; and Jerry McLemore, October/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 37 Ninnekah, Okla. Congratulations to these outstanding firms. The Champion Boar came out of the youngest class and was shown by the David Martin Family of Marion, Iowa. Sired by last year’s Hog College® boar, Bases Loaded, this dude had lots of great breeding value. Really opened up and a tremendous look, this guy had lots of muscle shape from end-to-end and is sure to generate winning barrows and gilts across the country. Thank you to the Martin Family for sharing such an intriguing breeding piece, and congratulations to RAR Genetics, Aplington, Iowa, for an outstanding purchase to stand alongside his daddy. The Reserve Champion Boar was shown by John Huinker of Decorah, Iowa. A son of Asia, this guy truly represented the Huinker program and red hogs in general. This one was really opened up, had a tremendously big rib cage in him and could go all day long. He is sure to get a fair chance at Cain Super Sires. Call early and book often on this great pair of young boars. The second place boar in Class 1 was shown by young Travis Hamilton of Model, Colo. I will be real honest with you, I don’t know what impressed me more, the job this young man did driving his boar or how impressive the boar was himself. Travis and his family are to be commended for putting together a real breeding piece for the public to view. Sired by the great Royal Flush boar at Top Cut with a pedigree that combined the old Guy Jackson sow at Brandon Ogle’s on both sides, this one is sure to get lots of use. This young boar was stout and opened up and had a winning-barrow presence and look. Congratulations to Swine Genetics International, Cambridge, Iowa, on a great purchase. The third place boar in Class 1 was shown by the Devin Goehring Family of Lowell, Wis. A son of King, this guy was as well built and stout featured as any in the show. Barrows and gilts with this kind of skeleton will win all day long. This guy was one of the most intriguing breeding pieces in the show. He will be open to the public at A Cut Above Sires in Benedict, Neb. SEEDSTOCK EDGE • 37 10/2/2013 10:31:36 AM Shows & Sales Class 2 was won by Mappes Durocs, Moore Okla., with a son of Bren. This rascal was really opened up and might have read with as much muscle and power as any hog in the show. He had a great big skull, was really stout featured and looked like a he-hog. He was purchased by Beise Brothers and will stand at North Iowa Boar Stud in Buffalo, Minn. Bill and Jana Range drove a very impressive son of Earthquake into second in Class 2. This rascal had a good look and great shape. This one was built right and opened up from end-to-end with great power. Class 3 was won by a Trifecta son from the Range firm. Another boar that had lots of breeding value, this one offered extra power and opened-up with dimension in a bigger-thanaverage package and handled it very well. I thought Bill Range brought an excellent set of boars for everyone to view. Eggers and Sampson of State Center, Iowa, were second in class with a Chainsaw son that was extra attractive and good skeletoned. This one was tall fronted and read with a really nice shape. The final class of boars was won by the Reserve Champion Boar of Huinker’s and followed by a pair of Huinker boars in second and third. The boar that was second was as sound and flexible as any. This guy was tall fronted and really extended on both ends. He took a super long stride on both ends and had good shape. Klemmensen Farms of Blooming Prairie, Minn., will give him a good chance. The boar in third was maybe as opened up in his blade and hip as any. He was big in his kind and had lots of width and dimension throughout. He will get a fair chance for the Earnhart Family in Albion, Ind. Howard Parrish, Edon, Ohio, had another boar that needed to be discussed. This son of Roger B was one of the most interesting hogs in the show. He offered as much bone and looseness of skeleton as you could expect. This one was really immature and extended off of both ends. He will get a good chance for the Malcolm firm of Huntertown, Ind. The gilt show was full of breeding pieces that got good homes. The youngest class of the day was lead off by Iowa State University, Ames, Iowa, with a daughter of Ice Chest. This gal had lots of power and was really opened up and went to the Frey firm in Columbus, Wis. The David Martin Family was second in class with a daughter of Bases Loaded. This one was sound and square and had a great look and build. She looked like a female but had great muscle shape from end-to-end. Randy Schroht of Owatonnia, Minn., will give her a fair chance. John Huinker was third in the youngest class with one that had lots of fans. If you wanted one with big feet, a big rib cage and lots of muscle, then you were looking at the right one. Mappes Durocs will put this one to work, and I am sure we will hear of great things from this female. Mappes Durocs led off Class 2 with a daughter of Red Man. She offered lots of length and femininity, but had plenty of muscle and shape in a really flexible and loose skeleton. The Smith Brothers in Elkhart, Ill., will make this one famous. Giertz and Larson of 38 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 38 New Windsor, Ill., were second in class with a little longer-bodied, bigger-outlined gilt that still had lots to her. This one could still flex and go with the best of them, and will go to work for the Anderson firm in Lyons, Neb. Greg Ruppert of Des Moines, Iowa, also had an interesting breeding piece. Not as fluffy as some, but probably as big footed and flexible in her build. Watch the Rick May ranch of Ada, Okla., for something to come from this interesting female. Class 3 was led off by Tyler McCallister of Pine River, Minn., with his daughter of Red Rum. This gal was sound, good legged and really extended on both ends, and will go to work for Graff Showpigs of Juneau, Wis. In second was a Lance and Mitchell Westcamp, Groveport, Ohio, entry, sired by The Beast. This gal had lots of shape and looked like she could generate some big-time barrows. She got a good home with Dan Gunderson of Le Sueur, Minn. Class 4 had an impressive Rodibaugh female from Rensselaer, Ind., as its winner. A daughter of Carl, this lady was big in her kind, plenty stout featured and had lots of muscle shape from end-to-end. She can make barrows or boars, depending on your preference. Second in the class was shown by McGrew Showpigs of Good Hope, Ill. This lady was the longest-bodied, levelest-designed and best-looking gilt in the whole show. She was great on her feet and legs and is sure to breed on. Both of these gilts sold to Dakota Gold Showpigs in Hitchcock, S. D. They made great purchases with two of the better gilts in the show. Class 5 contained the Grand and Reserve Grand Females. Iowa State University showed this year’s champion. A daughter of Firestone, this gal was as big ribbed and productive as any hog of any breed. She was tremendous in her width and performance and, yet, handled it really well. Dan’s Durocs, Manito, Ill., is sure to give this highly-educated female a good home and a fair chance. John Huinker was in next with the Reserve Grand Female. A daughter of Asia, this one had big time power. She was huge chested and had extra power from one end to the other. Another really big-ribbed, big-volumed female that offers lots of breeding value for her new owner, Larry Thorsen of Morris, Ill. Larry should have fun breeding good red hogs out of this one for a long time. A huge thank you goes to Heath Nelson of Wakonda, S.D., for an excellent job of sorting a very good set of red hogs, and for giving us your honest and professional opinion. Also, thanks to Harold Hodson of Cambridge, Iowa, for his assistance in working with Heath in the ring. Many thanks go to Kevin Wendt, Irwin, Ohio, for another thorough and professional job of selling purebred hogs. The Mower County Fairgrounds crew does things as well as any and thanks, again, for all they do for us.

Sold to Larry Thorsen, Ill., for $3,750 From the Field by Ralph Doak, NSR Field Representative The fact is we need breeders to bring more good Hampshire boars to the National Barrow Show®. The top end of the boars was great; we just need more of them. The Grand Champion Boar was from Jason Kuehn of Dewitt, Iowa. He was a big, heavy-boned hog that had good feet and legs. He took a good, long stride and, being sired by SRF2 Brass Knuckles 9-7, you knew he would be extremely sound. A son of BRJL0 Open Range 34-4 was named Reserve Champion Boar. He was a medium-framed hog that balanced well and made an excellent reserve champion for Range and Theobald of Waterloo, Ill. This one could sire boars, barrows or gilts and do it quite well. The Hog College® Boar for 2013 was from Delaney Young of Agency, Mo. This hog was tall fronted and heavy structured. He was a boar with excellent muscle shape, and looked like one that would be able to sire structure and muscle. He was the top-selling Hampshire boar at $6,500 to Shaffer’s Goldrush of Albany, Ind. Mark Willard had a wide-sprung, big-ribbed son of JL1 He’s Back 10-7. His entry came from Bowen, Ill., to win Class 2. A HH0 Home Boy 100-3 sow was his mother, and he looked like a boar that could sire some width and power. One of the stoutest boars of the show came from Katie Stutzman of Waldron, Mich. He was a son of NEI2 Huey 6-7 and an Augusta 18-1 sow. I really liked how this guy reached out of his front end and all of his balance. The Grand Champion Hampshire Gilt was from H&H Hampshires of Greenfield, Ohio. A daughter of GMW1 Hats Off 9-9, I loved this gal for her look, balance and design. This is one that could make your herd boar famous. If this lady gets mated to the right boar, we will hear lots about her offspring in 2014. October/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 43 Michael Lackey told me the search for the Hampshire Hog College® gilt was over after he had been to Rasmussen Swine Farm at Hurley, S.D. He was certainly right. This daughter by JLM0 TCG Augusta 24-3 was feminine, yet stout. She was loose jointed, yet sound. She had all of the muscle you would want. This is a real foundation lady here. Randy Wirt and family of Parker, S.D. were the exhibitors of the Reserve Champion Gilt. She was sired by RWF9 Black Belt 63-1. This female had great bone with a good hip and great feet. She balanced well and had a wide, sturdy hip and good shoulder blade. The Wirt family let go of a good one here. Another gilt that had some real positives was the Dean Myhre gilt from Caledonia, Minn. Dean brought a daughter of CPT2 Game On 13-8, and had a good plan, when she went on the trailer. Deep, wide, feminine, yet bold in her overall makeup, this female could raise a herd boar. Peter Farms of Mendon, Ill., had a gilt sired by DMP0 Frozen in Time 31-2. This was a big-ribbed gilt that just needed a week, and look out. She could make a sow to build a herd around. One other gilt that was very popular was the gilt from Gibson Girls of Circleville, Ohio. She was sired by GBSN2 The Shaft 38-1 and out of a Home Boy 100-3 sow. Huge in her rib, wide chest floor, level topped and a sound moving gal, H.L. had plans for this one. A great set of Hampshire females were in Austin, Minn. The Premier Sire this year was JLM1 Pivot Point 13-2, owned by Top Cut Genetics, Farmland, Ind. Reserve Premier Sire was JL1 He’s a Ten 10-10, owned by Earl Cain and family of Chariton, Iowa.

This year’s Landrace show was no different. While there were not great numbers, the show still provided a fun and exciting set to work through. Brad Mortensen of Kent City, Mich., was given the distinction of judging the Landrace show and offered many thoughts and promising views, while doing so. Thanks, “Mort,” for a great job! The Hog College® Landrace Boar was driven by the Cedar Ridge Show Herd of Red Bud, Ill., and was an outstanding individual. Whenever you study Landrace hogs and pedigrees, you are sure to see the CR herdmark pop up in most of the lineage of champion Landrace hogs, today. This son of Excellerator offered a tremendous amount of value and good. He was a really big-bodied hog that had lots of power and handled it very well. I would describe this one as very versatile in his ability to do so many things for this powerful breed. Scott and Sydney Rohls of Greensburg, Ind., made a wise $1,000 investment and are sure to make this guy famous. Lance and Mitchell Westcamp, Groveport, Ohio, drove the Champion Landrace Boar at the 2013 NBS®. This rascal had plenty of power and shape and handled it very well. To put this kind of mass and power into one package and handle it as well as he did is impres- sive. This one put lots of good into one complete package. A super set of gilts showed up for evaluation. Young Bobby Batson of Wilmington, Ill., drove this year’s Hog College® Landrace Female. She put together an impressive show campaign and was very deserving of this honor. She was a tremendous female. Big-bodied, sound and great look, this impressive female just combined so many things that are important and valuable in this great breed. She got a new home with the Behrends Farms in Clifton, Ill., at $1,500. McGrew Showpigs of Good Hope, Ill., drove this year’s Champion Landrace Female. This daughter of Green Top General was loaded full of power and was extra stout and opened up from end-to-end. She is sure to generate well at her new home with Carroll Family Farms in Austin, Minn. The Reserve Champion Female was another really good female from the Cedar Ridge Show Herd. This one looked like a female. She had extra length on both ends and was so feminine and correct in her make. She looked like the kind that will be around for a long time and make a great momma. Cailyn Andrews, Lawrenceville, Ill., will give this one a fair chance. Lance and Mitchell Westcamp brought a powerful female to end up in third. Barrow-maker deluxe would be a good way of describing this one. Lots of dimension and stoutness from end-to-end, this one will get a chance for Andrew Foster of Owosso, Mich., to make the next great ones.

Sold to Gunderson Farms, Minn., for $1,250 From the Field by Michael Lackey, NSR Field Representative The second week in September is a favorite for many in our industry. It’s a special time because the World Series of Swine Shows has rolled around, and it’s time to attend the National Barrow Show® in Austin, Minn. This year’s event was no different. We were greeted with warmer than normal temperatures and an amazing set of breeders and hogs. Mike McCoy of Bloomingburg, Ohio, sorted the Yorkshire ring for a second year at this prestigious event. Mike always takes a no-nonsense attitude to sorting hogs and does a great job! Mike, thanks for your time and effort. The Premier Yorkshire Sire was awarded to CDO1 Benchpress 263-6, owned by Jim Grimm of Maynard, Iowa, and Chuck and Ben Olsen of Irene, S.D. The Reserve Premier Yorkshire Sire honor was presented to Rodney Spinler, N.Y., for SS1 About Time 59-2. Congratulations to both these firms for an excellent set of hogs. This year’s Champion Yorkshire Boar has got me excited because he is a good one! Congratulations to Grimm Purebreds, Maynard, Iowa, for letting this son of JGR1 Pierce 25-6 go. This is one big-footed, heavy-structured Yorkshire boar. He is square at the ground, wide in his chest and has a massive shoulder that opens into a huge rib cage. He is square and correct in his hock and has the ideal frame and muscle for making barrows. Plus, he should have the ability to make the next generation of females better. If you are serious about breeding better Yorkshires, give Swine Genetics International of Cambridge, Iowa, a call to book semen. They partnered with Dick Kuecker and Sons, Algona, Iowa, and bid $10,000 to take this Yorkshire boar home. Next to the ring was the 2013 Yorkshire Hog College® Boar. Thank you to George and Eric Watson of Hillsboro, Ky., for letting this son of CDO2 Crazy Bone 70-2 be put on Hog College® Row. This boar offers a lot of good to the October/November 2013 OctNov 2013 form.indd 49 breed. He is tall fronted, really correct in his top line and is ideal in his frame and length of body for making breeding hogs. This guy has a great shape to his rib, he is square at his knee and great in the angles to his hip, hock and rear pastern. He is a sound moving boar that can really flex out of his hip. Premium Blend Genetics of Arlington, Ind., paid $14,000 to load this young herdsire on their trailer. I would describe the Reserve Champion Yorkshire Boar as one that will not get you into any trouble. He was exhibited by Charles Real of Marion, Texas. This son of CDO1 Prestige 87-2 has great show ring appeal from the side. He is tall fronted, level designed and correct in his ham-loin junction. He is a square-built hog that is wide set through his center and lower skeleton, tracks away with genuine base width and is sound. He sold to Pink Genetics of Kenosauqwa, Iowa, for $400. Lorenzen Farms of Chrisman, lll., made their way to the sale ring next with a son of CDO2 Crazy Bone 70-2. Tracy’s boar looks like a young Yorkshire herdsire should; he reads to be a later-maturing hog as you study him. His toes all point in the same direction, and he hits the surface with a square, big toe. He is heavy structured for his age, has a square turn to the base of his rib cage and tracks away with width between his hocks. He has a square, muscular turn down his top and a big, muscular hip. Mark Larson of Woodhall, Ill., bid $1,000 to take this young prospect home. Wayne J. Huinker of Decorah, Iowa, drove the winning entry from the oldest class of the day to the sale ring next. This son of SS1 About Time 59-2 is really complete! He’s good footed, clean jointed and has a good running gear. This hog is open in his center body, wide based and has plenty of muscle. He should work well for Hubly Farms of Faribault, Minn. They paid $600 to take this guy home. SEEDSTOCK EDGE • 49 10/2/2013 10:32:08 AM Shows & Sales The gilt sale began with a great female. Congratulations to Grimm Purebreds of Maynard, Iowa, on this year’s Champion Yorkshire Female at the NBS®. This daughter of CDO1 Benchpress 263-6 is stout and durable in her structure and big ribbed. When you let this girl out of the pen, she floats around the ring, she is sound and flexible, she’s about right from a muscle standpoint, and still very correct in terms of balance. She will make the next generation of Yorkshire hogs better for Joe Coyne of Pontiac, Ill. for $2,800. The Reserve Champion Gilt won the youngest class of the day. She is sired by HOBW2 Show Cat 1-9. Congratulations to Western Illinois University of Macomb, Ill. for your Reserve Champion Female. This gilt looks like she could generate winning barrows. She’s big footed, heavy boned, plus deep centered, big ribbed and sound. She is feminine in her build and has a great look from the profile. R&K Show Pigs of Fulda, Minn., bid $1,900 so they could load her on their trailer. I would like to thank Hilman B. Schroeder of Sauk City, Wis., for stepping forward to represent the Yorkshire breed on Hog College® Row. He brought us a daughter of HSO2 Packer 14-9 that is really complete and looks like a Yorkshire female should. This lady is correctly balanced, feminine, has a great underline and is sound; she is really hard to pick a hole in. She sold to Gunderson Farms of Raymond, Minn., for $1,250. The next gilt in the ring won the oldest class of the day exhibited by Lockman Genetics of Dighton, Kan. She is sired by ARTD2 Bootlegger 15-3, the 2012 Hog College® Yorkshire Boar. Steve’s gilt is square and genuine underneath, heavy structured and durable in her look. She will make a nice addition for Victor Israelsen of Logan, Utah. He paid $1,000 to take her home. Next up was the winning entry from Class 3, exhibited by Vista Brook Farms of Danville, Ky. This daughter of SS1 About Time 59-2 is heavy muscled, and has a big square top and huge hip. If you were looking to have muscle from the female side, then this was the gilt for you. She sold to Diamond V Showpigs of Adams, Minn., for $500. This year’s gilt show was loaded with a functional set of breeding hogs. A huge and special thank you goes to Dan Baker of West Lafayette, Ind., for another great job on the block. Thank you also to all of the ring help. We could not do it without you! See you all at Duncan!

WIZARD x ANTHRAX Sold to Steve & Derek Earnhart, Ind., for $1,000 From the Field by Ralph Doak, NSR Field Representative Warm, hot, cool and beautiful all describe the weather in Austin, Minn., during the 2013 National Barrow Show®. I certainly appreciate all the work from the Hormel folks, and of course Joel, to make our event one that is pleasant from start to finish. The crossbred boar show was not big in numbers, this year. The Champion Boar was a fresh, young-made hog from Steve and Derek Earnhart of Albion, Ind. He had great muscle, scanning a 10.3 LEA and only .52 of fat. This boar could help maintain muscle and freshness that is so important, when making an outstanding set of prospects. Sired by Wizard and out of an Anthrax sow, he should be muscle guaranteed. Schwecke Genetics of Gibbon, Minn., exhibited the Reserve Champion Boar. He was sound in his movement, level in his design and a stout-featured hog in his skull and blade. This hog was sired by Tree Shaker and out of a Stick This sow, and had a big 11.6 LEA at 375 pounds. A heavy-boned, wide-based hog from Baily Sonka of Newhall, Iowa, was next in the ring. Sired by All Star and out of a Super 52 • SEEDSTOCK EDGE OctNov 2013 form.indd 52 Reserve Champion Crossbred Boar – 1st Class 2 Shown by Schwecke Genetics, Gibbon, Minn. TREESHAKER x STICK THIS Sold to Bruce Ihnen, Minn., for $1,000 Monster sow, this was one stout-made, sound-footed hog that could downsize a little and give his offspring great feet and bone. A big, good-structured boar from Jake and Kaylee Keppy, Durant, Iowa, sired by Bone Collector, was in next. A really long-bodied hog with a big top and hip, he should do a nice job siring muscle. I really liked the Wampler Farms entry from Milton, Ind., for his extra top and hip to make meat hogs. He just needed a bit more bone and look out. S&M Hamps of Caledonia, Minn., brought a really good Hampshire boar with a little too much white. He was good boned, sound footed and loaded with shape and design. This boar was sired by CPTS2 Game On 13-9 and out of a CDO0 Point Taken 257-1 sow. The only problem was we just didn’t have enough good crossbred boars at the National Barrow Show®. Make a special litter for next year and you be well rewarded. A big thanks to Mike McCoy of Bloomingburg, Ohio, for a really good job of judging at the National Barrow Show®. The future is in good shape with thinkers like Mike and his rock-solid opinion.

This amount must be paid before reinstatement will be allowed. The exception to this rule will be if an animal has become injured or ill and is inspected by a NSR staff member prior to the sale. The NSR acts only as the agent between buyer and seller. If proper payment is made by the buyer in a timely manner, the NSR will make settlement with the seller in approximately 30 days after the sale.

October/November 2013 10/2/2013 10:34:58 AM By Ann Fry Peter Farms In the days when repurposing was done more for practicality than for decorating, the Peter men started raising hogs in a chicken coop on the family’s rented Illinois farm. The patriarch, Don, spent his days as herdsman for J.C. McLean, owner of the prestigious Dor Mac Angus Farm, but at home he was a hog man. He started with Berkshires when his boys, Mark and Kirk, were young, then expanded to Hampshires, in 1962. Mark bought his own bred Hampshire gilts, in 1968, from Hamp-An Farms and Jim Foster, and kept them at the “poor farm,” an old dilapidated farm his father owned five miles down the gravel road. Two short years later, Mark headed off to college at Western Illinois University and spent three years working with Bruce Egnell, manager of the boar test station at the school. “It was the ideal setting for a young person excited about being a hog breeder. I got to meet and interact with prominent breeders, of all breeds, whose boars were on test at Western. I also got to know a lot of fellow hog enthusiasts,” Mark says. Mark and his high school sweetheart, Jill, were married in May of 1972. They lived in a trailer on a rented five acre tract and kept a handful of their own Hampshire sows under a grove of trees behind the trailer. Jill is still a source of support and encouragement for Mark, his pigs and Peter Farms. As graduation approached, Mark was faced with a decision: take a full-time job and raise hogs on the side, or make a career out of raising hogs. With encouragement from his father and Ruben Edwards, he and Jill moved their eight sows home to Mendon, Ill., to join the other 80 sows waiting for them. For the next three decades, Don, Kirk and Mark would build, grow and change their operation. The farm started with mainly Hampshires, but added Yorkshires and Durocs. They focused primarily on female production until 1992, when they started working with Premier Swine Breeding Systems. They sold nearly 1,000 boars each year for 16 years through Premier, until the industry demand changed. At that point, Peter Farms went back to its roots of purebred Hampshires and showpigs. Don and Ma rk Peter discu ssing pick at the 2 their Champion Hamp shire Boar 000 World Pork Expo. Today, Kirk’s son, Karl, has joined the operation. Together, the family has 80 purebred Hampshires and 25 crossbred showpig-based sows. The remnants of the commercial production can still be seen, as these sows are all raised on the slattedfloor barns built in 1995. Perhaps, the most important echo of their commercial background is the emphasis on raising productive females. “In any breeding herd, the females are the essential element. Any success that you have is tied to maintaining a productive, structurally-correct female line, whatever species you are in. Over the years, our reputation has been built on that. Our sows are functional and correct,” Mark says. Maintaining the integrity of their females is a lesson the Peter boys learned from Don’s days with cattle. The females at Dor Mac Angus Farm made up a very correct, very productive cow herd, and Peter Farms tried to follow that same pattern with their sows. “If you would look at our operation, we have some basic principles that we have carried through multiple decades of hog production that are just as valuable and applicable today as they were in 1960 when we started raising hogs: soundness of feet and legs, reproductive soundness, just basic pig production things. You have to bring the other characteristics into your pigs that are sought after at the time, but if you stay functional and reproductive, you are always going to be in the game,” Mark says. Mark learned more than the importance of good females from watching his father. He also learned about good business and the importance of integrity. “We just try to pattern the way we do business after the way dad did, by doing things the right way and treating people the right way,” Mark says. “We span a lot of years of raising hogs, and we try to stay relevant today, but the fundamentals will never go out of style.” A quick glimpse into how some of our industry’s premier producers got their start in the purebred swine business.
