Litter Reference Page Purebred Yorkshire:

Sixth Sense x Bearcat Sixth Sense x Bearcat (Cedar Ridge): Here is a York litter that is out of a long bodied, deep centered sow that has been notably productive in our herd. This sow combines a tall, long frame with a durable design and capability to mother a consistent litter of pigs that look just like her. These pigs out of Sixth Sense (Triple B) are built right from the ground up on both their front and rear. They are up off their pasterns, and feature a tall, extended frame that has the potential to be fed into late bloomers that would be perfect for a late show or fair. These guys have several pieces that can't be fed into one. Born 2/16/2015

Worth the Wait x Archie Worth the Wait x Archie (Watson): This litter of purebred Yorkshire hogs is sired by Worth the Wait 59-2, the $200,000 Watson boar that stands at Top Cut Genetics. Looking into the sow's pedigree, she also originates from the George and Eric Watson family. She combines durability with functionality and is problem free in her design. This breeding has resulted in a litter that is soft-centered, capacious, wide chested, and bold in their fore rib. Studying their design, they are very smooth patterned and correct in their feet and legs. We're really excited about the potential for gilts in this litter to make excellent Yorkshire females. Worth the Wait 59-2 has sired the champion York gilts at both Ft. Worth and San Antonio already this year. Born 1/16/2015

Litter Reference Page Crossbred:

Maximus x Bear Maximus x Bear (Cobb): These double-bred Cobb pigs are out of the record-selling $230,000 Maximus boar bred by Cobbs and standing at Lean Value. They are flashy and eye-catching in their design with style to burn. Like their mother these pigs are massive topped with a tall, clean, extended front third. They combine all these traits with a ton of muscle shape and definition in a complete package. Backed by the the quality Cobb Family name on both sides of the pedigree, we're excited about the combination of style, balance, and substance in this litter. Born 2/4/2015

Soul Train x Creature Soul Train x Creature (Cobb): This is easily our deepest, most consistent litter that combines muscle and width in a stylish package. This up-headed, level designed litter has true width starting at the ground while maintaining an open chest floor that blends into true fore-rib shape. They are out of a Cobb-bred sow that is clean headed, level topped, and tall fronted. When you study her profile, she is feminine in her design and fault-free in her build. This litter combines her style with the width and rib of Soul Train that is hard to find in a package that's not down on their pasterns. Several of the barrows from this litter could be jack-potted all summer and still look good come fair time. Lots of interest in these guys. Born 2/16/2015

Soul Train x Dog Knot (Thompson Bros.): This crossbred litter is out of a York sow that is square hipped and has tremendous flex to her hock. If you're looking for replacement gilts, the bottom side of this sow's pedigree is loaded with high-producing sows, and she showed it with this litter of 14 as a gilt. The pigs have excellent bonework, are smooth through their shoulder, and consistently stout at the ground. They show both rib-shape and depth from the side. When you get in behind them they don't disappoint with width both at their hip and at the ground. Born 2/18/2015
