Prime is out of a very a special litter of hogs and a littermate to Amazon. This litter is sired by the $350,000 World Record Selling Leaps and Bounds and mother is the $21,000 Grand Champion Gilt 2017 IN State Fair from the Sinclair Family. That female is one that was purchased by Platt and Ottenwalter and the only 2 gilts offered online brought $10,000 and $7,500. The Grandmother of this pair of boars came from Lorenzen and was a littermate to Almost There. When you mate two champions together it doesn’t always work, but this time it was a home run. We mated her back again the same way, and we rarely do that.
Prime is one as you can tell in the picture has that attitude that every show hog needs when out of the pen. He is a tall fronted boar that is more moderate than his brother. Barrows built like this guy can hang a bunch of banners at all levels. He is a square made hog that offers back shape, comes and leaves with the same width, and has good flesh and center body. He is correct on his feet and legs with flex and reach off both ends with squareness. A boar that is going to give you the look we all want our hogs to have in the ring with the right proportions and with the extras is PRIME!!!! |
