BERKSHIRE: 

NIBS3 Ramses 10-7   Farrowed  2/13/13  Reg. #  119176007
Bred by: Saratoga Show Pigs
Scan Figures:    135/250         .79  BF        7.89 LE        MacScan
Sire:  /KSWV1 Dream Scheme 9-12Dam’s Sire:  COR9 Happy 3-9
We were very honored to have Ramses 10-7 selected as the 2013 Hog College boar at the National Barrow Show.  Son Bob raised him and we followed his development from day 1.  He is a true fast growing Berkshire boar and  having sold many vials of Berkshire semen over the past 17 years we know the value of growth in the Berkshire breed.  His mother although a young sow is a tremendous brood sow and her daddy Happy 3-9 was something special.  He was a BIG heavy boned Berkshire sire from Arlie Cornbrower's herd in PA.   His sire Dream Scheme 9-12 has been at NIBS  for the past year and has sired many very popular offspring.  Semen flow and quality looked very good on 1st collection.  We are happy that Ramses is back where he can help make Berkshire sired pigs grow  faster.

Power Up 5-3 is a very well balanced, super sound and correctly muscled Berk boar. If nothing more let the picture of his mother speak. Very good semen quality. Semen price on this boar is $50

Bred by: NIBS/Bill Owen 
Sire: COR9 Happy 3-9 /Dam’s Sire: VA8 SGI Black Diamond 
We bought two giltsat the 2011 STC and got two broad sows.  How's that for a first time Berk breeder!  We have really been blessed with a very good commercial Berk semen trade over the past 10 years and we knew we needed to make a son from Timex and Happy, to here they are and are we happy!
