Arnold - The beast.  Massive everywhere and bone to burn.  We think he has a shot to be a legend for making Berkshire breeding stock for generations to come.

Introducing HoneyBadger and Arnold.  We think they are two pieces that can help move the Berkshire breed to the penthouse.  August 17 Gary Coleman x Miss Hathaway sons.  We plan to use them hard on Miss H Daughters and Granddaughters. 
 
Their littermate sister just picked up her 1st Dark OPB Championship @ the Houston TJLA show her 1st and only time out so far.
"Superman" has landed at Premium Blend Sires. He has to be from a different planet and we are anticipating the competition will need some Kryptonite to stop his offspring.  A carrier son of Bar None x (Walk The Dog x Sugar Daddy) His dam was the 2011 Houston Champion Berk gilt from Brattains that Sarah Jones exhibited.

Superman created quite a buzz on the Texas circuit as he just wrapped up his show season winning Grand Overall Dark OPB  honors for the 5th time in 6 shows with his win at the TJLA Fall Classic. Bred by Brian Bennett (Dublin TX) and Sarah Jones (Conroe TX).  We are very grateful to the Jones family for staying committed to sending this guy north to fill out what we think will be one of the premier line-ups of Berkshire sires in the country.  They had LOTS of options ($$$$$$) with this guy and we are THRILLED to have him here.  You have to see him to believe him. The bone, foot size, muscle, flex, stride, and especially the power he brings coming out of his blade just has us in awe!!! Owned in partnership with Chris Jones and Family.

HoneyBadger - Great one that we knew had to be a boar the minute he was born.  Freak chisel front,  a chest floor that makes your jaw hit the ground, muscled like a Hamp and a tail set that Yorkshires would envy.  If you are serious about making Berkshire barrows, we have never seen one we like better to get that done.  You know you have something special when the Southwest guys are calling to ask you NOT to cut him because they want to show his babies!!!!!!!!  One visitor's comment - "Now that is a Stud"  best sums up our thoughts.
We are thrilled to announce the formation of Premium Blend SIres.  We think is the final piece to the puzzle to allow us to be your complete source for Premium showpig genetics.  We will be concentrating primarily on accumulating the absolute best Berkshire, Hampshire, Poland China, and Crossbred sires.  We feel we have a tremendous start with the 3 Berkshire boars shown below.  We believe they represent one of the most elite sets of Berkshire boars you will be able to find anywhere.
 
We hope to be collecting mid to end of February, 2012 and will post when we have established pricing and are booking orders.
 
Feel free to call anytime to schedule a visit to see the young guns.
