Jasper is sired by Class Act, a littermate to He’s The One and New Direction. Prime Rib’s dam is sired by the great Iconic. I got a call from Mickey Bellamy to tell me he had seen a Duroc boar that is an absolute stud at Carl Stein’s. Carl was planning on keeping him, but Mickey said that we had to at least call and try to get him bought. Mickey described him as one of the top three boars he has seen in the last year and a half. So after several phone calls, and a lot of pleading with Carl, Prime Rib is coming to Texas. This boar is extremely tall-fronted with a beautiful, slick front-end. He is massive-topped, big-footed, and a heavy-muscled Duroc boar. With the pedigree and the looks of this one, this is a no-miss situation. Carl Stein and Doug Stewart kept an interest in Prime Rib. We are also pleased to announce our other partners in the ownership of this great boar - New Castle Genetics and Schwertner Show Pigs. Prime Rib will be standing at WTBS and semen is for sale.SEPTEMBER 2018 | SEEDSTOCK EDGE10418 Sept SE Form.indd 1048/23/2018 8:47:59 PM!OUR BARN IS OPEN FOR ALL AGES OF PIGS!Thanks to Norman Brothers for buying our STC Duroc gilt and our buyers at the Indiana State Fair.Be watching for an exciting NEW Duroc Boar from Kent Brattain!Sired by No Rules and out of an Eye Opener sow, this guy is way different!MANHATTAN GILTShown by Sinclair FamilyBred by KilmerWinner of several showsIT”S BEEN A REWARDING SUMMER!TRUMP CARD just named RESERVE PREMIER SIRE at Indiana State Fair.
