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.

Bred by:  AJC Berks
Owned  by;  Forkner True Line Genetics
Sire:  MLS1 Power Up 12-9 /Dam’s Sire: REED7 Sherman 1-1
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: Austin Lane
Sire: BDB Sugar Daddy 13-9/Dam’s Sire: RTS3 Blacksmith 4-9
Fast Lane 3-7 has left his mark on the breed the past three years.  Ray Tekippe purchased him this spring and asked us to house and collect from him.  Very docile boar to work with and very good semen quality.  Very agile for a four-and-a half year old.  

33NIBS1 Happy Time 9-2  Farrowed  1/23/12  Reg. # 113355002
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!
