Thank you for checking out our first ever online sale. We are excited to offer this set of gilts to the public. It is rare that we would let gilts like this leave the farm, however this spring the keeper gilt pen had more numbers in them than did the sow pens and we are not currently in the position to double our sow herd!
We were extremely humbled by the acceptance of our gilts at the SWTC in March and we are offering 8 littermates to those gilts, including 6 littermates to the champion. There were 10 gilts in the 34 litter and only 1 got the cull gate. I am impressed at how well the Joshua gilts have matured and I really think they will make good sows.
The gilts in the offering were treated just like our typical replacement gilts - no special care. They were grown in pens of 25 in a half slatted finisher this winter right along with our market hogs and then to the breeding pens.
I apologize that the pictures were taken inside, however it rained the majority of picture day so we had to make do. Feel free to call and set up an appointment to view the gilts at the farm.
Auction Closes: Thurs, July 15
Original Ending Time: 7PM CDT with Extended Bidding to follow.
