Manny 8-5 Berkshire Boar

Bred by: Knobloch Family Berks

Owned by: Knobloch Family Berks

Sire: Manny

Dam’s Sire: Walter x Walk The Dog (King Indy’s full sister)

DOB: 1/21/16

Registration: 137593005

Sold: Private treaty, Thanks!

This boar has one of the best hip and hind legs we have seen. He is loose spined with tremendous flexibility and locomotion.  We appreciate his base with and how correct he tracks in his movement. This guy has plenty of natural muscle shape–absolutely ZERO Paylean. He has a lot of bone and a frame size that will generate the next generation of breeding boars and gilts. We also have a lot of confidence in this guy generating excellent meat quality traits. His mother is a full sister to King Indy–who generated Wheels Up (#2 Super Sire & #3 PORQUE Award, 2015) and is a son of Walter (#4 PORQUE Award, 2013). Manny’s dam is a double-bred Time Bandit sow. Time Bandit is Walter’s grandpa. Look in here…this guy will help advance your meat quality genetics and make tremendous females.

His sister was 2nd in class at the 2016 White County Fair. Judge AJ Williams said, “this one is very unique and looks like she could generate a herd boar.”

Miss Magic 14-3 is a True Breeding Piece. Miss Magic is a grand daughter of our foundation female (Miss Magic 6-12) that generated King Indy and many other females in our herd, including Cobra’s dam (Miss Magic 23-3 – Gary Coleman x Walk The Dog). Cobra (Hostile x Gary Coleman x Walk The Dog) is a boar we raised and he was a grandson of our foundation female (Miss Magic 6-12). The dam of 14-4 was the result of lining up Cobra with his Grandma (Miss Magic 6-12). Cobra is a son of Hostile Takeover who was #1 for the PORQUE Award (Meat Quality Progeny Test) in 2014. Our herd boar, Walter, was #4 for the PORQUE Award in 2013. The GNK team thought it was time to line up Walter with a Cobra daughter and Miss Magic 14-3 is the result of this mating. She has a meat quality pedigree that has genetic lines that have been tested. She has impeccable structure and flexibility of her mother. She has bone, big feet and wide-spread toes, and a massive top with plenty of blade and butt. She has excellent skeleton and the frame size that should make her a productive sow. This gem is one of the result of 6+ years of breeding progress by three young entrepreneurs. Some people question if you can make Berks that are highly competitive, productive–both maternally and terminally, with excellent meat quality (…pork that you can eat with a fork and no knife). Miss Magic 14-3 is an example of the Berkshire female and pedigree we strive to generate.

Miss Magic 5-2 is one SASSY girl. We love the look that she has from all angles as she struts around the pen. 5-2 is SQUARE, WIDE and correct from top to bottom and is as sound as a cat. You have to appreciate her extended head and neck that smoothly ties into her boldly sprung rib cage. Her mother is an elite gilt that we purchased from Roy Flach and boy are we impressed. This Berkshire female pushes the limits just like her mother but don’t let that stop you. Get in now and lead the way.

Sold: Private treaty, thanks!

ELITE FEMALE. Miss Magic 4-3 has a freaky head with a clean neck. She hits you hard coming at you with wide chest floor and her stout legs pounding through the chips. She has excellent structure and soundness with tremendous reach and flexibility. She has the pretty look and is clean in all her lines, AND she has the power with a massive top, huge rib, and stoutness. We read this gilt to be more moderate, which will likely make people check and see if she has a vulva. Her mom is out of the deep litter of Neon Cowboy x Venom gilts we sold last year that won the banner in several counties. This is one REALLY COOL gilt with a pedigree that will make her valuable down the road. Look in and get in. These gilts are hard to find.

POWERFUL PROFILE. Oh My! Not sure where we start with this one! Miss Magic 2-2 is a high caliber female that has show gilt written all over her. She has an attractive profile, clean in all her angles, built right and square on all four corners and sets herself down on square even set of toes. When asked to go, 2-2 steps right up to the plate and plants her legs with authority as she navigates the chips. 2-2 is very capacious in her center body and has a big rack laid in her. We love the balance of 2-2 and her near perfect 6-6 underline. If we don’t have you excited yet, let’s talk about the sow power behind her. Her mother is a powerhouse and gets visitors excited when they see her on the sow lot. She is a young sow who has only farrowed 2 litters. Miss Magic 17-7 lays down and has her pigs with no assistance and nurses them like a Holstein cow. Her dam generated the 2014 Hog College Boar. We love Miss Magic 2-1 and the pieces that she brings to the table! This one could make you an awesome show gilt, then go home and make her a keeper female! Don’t miss out on a golden opportunity!

Look out! 2-4 is the FLASHY pig of this litter. He is super correct and wide! He maintains his width going away from you with superior soundness. We purchased interest in Manny with Lean Value Sires because we were hoping that he would be a barrow sire that we were looking for. Manny blew away our expectations, and this litter demonstrates he sires power and stoutness! 2-4 has a cleaner head and neck and has a cocky look when he pops his head up. We read 2-4 as a STOUT and STYLISH barrow. Although he is still intact, we would be glad to make him a barrow if you request. Super wide, balance and a fresh look would be the best way to sum up this barrow. If you want to play and PLAY HARD, this boy has got what it takes.

As we were picturing the 2 litter for this sale, 2-5 caught our eye as the obvious boar prospect. We are offering him intact, but he is also a barrow option you request. 2-5 is a stout made, and boy do we mean a stout and heavy boned POWERFUL Berkshire boar. 2-5 is tall-fronted and has a BUSTED OPEN cage with tremendous rib shape. His top flat, wide and level as an aircraft carrier. We love the jacked up tail head and extremely square hip that is laid in this one. This dude is BUILT SQUARE and ripped with muscle. He has huge legs that set on massive feet and wide spread toes. He drives off all four and he looks like a Mack truck coming at you. This guy has tremendous breeding value and is out of one of our best young sows. If you want to tear things up in the ring or impact the next generation in your herd, we highly recommend you take a long look at 2-5.

Here is the FREAKY male hog of this litter. 2-6 has many cool features that make him a show pig with a bright future. Jerk necked, tall-fronted, wide-chested, big level top, and a square long level hip. This guy is square off both ends and powers across the chips. Manny sired heavy structure and this guy has bone to burn. This Manny son has tremendous reach and flex off both ends. We appreciate the EXTRA EXTENSION that 2-6 has in his head and neck. Manny stamped this litter consistently and we love the look that he sired in his pigs. You may be wondering…why are these male pigs still intact? We did not cut any of the boars from this litter because they are so deep and we did not want to mess this gig up. This trio of male hogs is really close set and there are small differences that separate them. Although 2-6 is intact, we would be glad to make him a barrow if you request. Litter 2 has a fresh appearance and these guys are ready to roll. If you are looking for a heavy muscled Berk male hog who can walk all day this is the one you’ve been looking for!

Some say the early bird gets the worm…well, this girl was pictured at six weeks and she shows tremendous promise in her STYLE and DESIGN. She is pageant pretty and clean in all her lines. She has a cool-looking extended head and neck. This gilt is tall fronted and busted open underneath. She carries herself with ease and flexibility and her greatest asset is her soundness. We love the square hip that ties into her wide, heavy muscled top! Her mother really impressed us in her first litter, and did a tremendous job nursing this powerful litter. Littermate to the mother of 3-1 was Champion Berkshire Gilt at 2015 Warren County Fair, Indiana. 3-1 is going to continue to look fuller and more powerful as she matures. As we fed out the first crop of Neon Cowboy females last summer, they only continued to get better as time went on. 3-1 is perfectly marked with a perfect 7-7 underline. Look in here for a BALANCED gilt who has a great look and square hip! We were blessed with some deep sets of litters, but had more male pigs this spring across our litters. Therefore, we do not have an abundance of gilts for sale, but we are not holding them back as Grant and Nelson will both be Purdue students. Get in on these high end females while you can!

ATTRACTIVE and STOUT! Sometimes when you look in a pen and your eyes immediately go to “the pig.” Wow! It’s hard to ignore this guy! After we saw the impact that I Do made in the ring in 2015, we knew we had to use him, which we did on some of our elite females and I Do hooked up on this sow! 3-5 is one moderate, heavy structured, stout built pig who has the right amount of muscle! We love how this guy has STYLE and BALANCE. Tall-fronted with extra extension in his head and neck. Plus, he stands on four tree trunks, and gets out and puts his wheels in motion with ease! Littermate to the mother of 3-5 was Champion Berkshire Barrow at 2015 Warren County Fair, Indiana. This guy is a combination barrow—an attractive look with power and stoutness makes this guy an ideal barrow prospect! We have confidence this guy has got what it takes to get out there and get the job done!
