Big Ern 54-4 stood 1st in class 4 at 2022 Expo. Littermate boar stood 1st in class 3 and littermate gilt was named Grand Champion female. Really happy to be able to offer this Berk boar to our show pig customers. Was a very popular class winning boar from an outstanding litter. He has all the tools to make winners.

WENT3 Kingpin 9-9   Farrowed  7/20/23   Reg. # 183951009
Bred by: Owen Wenthold
Owned with NIBS
Sire:  BIRC1 Big Ern 54-4/Dam’s Sire: SDH9 Amen 26-3
We are certainly happy to have a son of Big Ern 54-4 here to add to the list of Berkshires offered. Big Ern certainly showed what he can do in making winners and we believe Kingpin 9-9 can add to that in a little bigger package. Kingpin 9-9's foot and leg placement are about as good as you can get.

Bred by:  Saratoga Show Pigs
Sire:   CMC8 Wild 2-1/Dam’s Sire:  RWO5 Smooth Mover 6-2
These two sons of Wild 2-1 have grown like we have never seen Berkshires do before. Smoothmover 6-2 the maternal grandfather that stood here for several years was that kind of boar also. Their sire Wild 2-1 has really been a joy to work with and recently sired the Champion 4-H Berkshire gilt at Iowa St fair. Study these two Berk boars. They are performance bred. 
This boar is Napole Neg
