MONUMENTAL X UNRATED X ALLELUIA Dealer Crossbred the Stress Negative :: $250 per dose NEW UNFORGETTABLE Littermate to The Dealer, Double Down and Soft Hand housed at SGI BOAR REPORT >> I felt like we hit the jackpot when this 21 litter was born. They are sired by Monumental and out of Unrated 41-5, who is a littermate to Crissman’s Reserve Cross Barrow at Fort Worth in 2012. 41-5 is out of a beautiful Alleluia sow. The sow power in this mating is unmatched at MLL. This is easily the best litter of boars we have ever produced. We retained three littermates and a fourth stands at SGI. I would like to thank Nick Berry, Tye Lettow and the whole SGI crew for their confidence in this litter. All four boars offer different strengths. The Dealer is a great balanced, upheaded and loose spined individual. He is also incredibly long hipped, smooth in his ham-loin junction and has the kind of muscle I like in a negative. This big boned boar has great toe spread, takes a huge stride off both ends and can go with comfort all day long. Some early visitors have commented on how good of a barrow this guy could have been. Everyone has ranked these differently, but this one has us looking forward to the next pig crop. PAGE 3 MONUMENTAL X UNRATED X ALLELUIA Double Crossbred DownStress Negative :: $250 per dose NEW BOAR REPORT >> Double Down has been many people’s favorite. He offers the same upheaded look as the The Dealer, but has an extra shot of muscle in his top and especially when viewed from behind. We had this guy pegged as a carrier growing up and were surprised he came back negative, offering us more mating options. This whole litter has matured well, and at the right time to be futuristic barrow sires. All of these boars have a near perfect frame size to go along with, what we feel, are ideal skull shape and ear set to produce barrows that hang banners. PAGE 4 WWW.ALLAMAREKNSIRES.COM MONUMENTAL X UNRATED X ALLELUIA Soft Hand Crossbred Stress Negative :: $150 per dose NEW NEW RESERVE CHAMPION CROSS 2012 Forth Worth Stock Show Littermate to Mother of Soft Hand, The Dealer and Double Down BOAR REPORT >> Soft Hand is definitely the outlier of the litter. He is similar in terms of width, bone and foot size as his brothers. This guy is extremely big in his center and pliable in his structure. Soft Hand isn’t as shapely, but still offers a broad top with a lot of volume of muscle through his hip and stifle. Where I feel this guy is truly unique is combination of look up front with the amount of true center he brings to the table. Usually those real deep bodied hogs sacrifice look, this one doesn’t. PAGE 5 MILE HIGH X CROSSBONES X CHECKMATE (YORK) Extra Mile Crossbred Stress Negative :: $200 per dose NEW BOAR REPORT >> Extra Mile is sired by Mile High, who is a littermate to the Denver Champion in 2012 and a full sib to Analyze This and Closet Monster. We chose him as the Super Monster derivative to inject into our program and he didn’t disappoint. Extra Mile is out of a super, first litter Crossbones x Checkmate gilt 66-9. Her and her 5 littermates will be foundation sows here for a long time and will be vital components for us moving forward. This guy was an absolute rock star at 8 weeks of age and matured well. This tall fronted, upheaded boar excels in comfort and flexibility on the move. He is a huge footed and heavy boned hog that balances perfectly from the profile. His phenotypic attributes along with his outcross pedigree to many of our boars will allow us to fix many of the issues in this industry today. PAGE 6 WWW.ALLAMAREKNSIRES.COM BOONDOCKS X UNRATED X DARE YA Urban Legend Crossbred OwnedStress withNegative John Heins:: $200 per dose NEW NEW BOAR REPORT >> Urban Legend is a uniquely built boar with a predictable, yet outcross pedigree for many. His sire stands at Mike Clay’s and is a Tapp Datt x Rated R x Space Monkey, not only making Urban Legend a double bred Rated R, but URBAN LEGEND’S DAM an outcross to the Super Monster, Hillbilly Bone, and Big Shot bloodlines. Urban Legend is a big forearmed, wide skeletoned boar that is tall fronted and long necked while remaining stout about his skull and jawline. He’s square and opened up at the topside of his blade, and from there back, progresses into a big back, a huge, robust rib cage and a pliable center cavity. Perhaps what truly separates him from his contemporaries is his hip and hind leg, as he’s GRAND CHAMPION GILT a true power hog that is rugged in his bone work 2013 Bartholomew Co 4H Fair, IN and clean about his joints while covering the surface Littermate to Urban Legend with ease each time he’s on the drive. Just like his namesake Urban Meyer, one of the most dominant coaches in college football history, this stress negative stud is sure to leave a legacy. PAGE 7 SWAGGER X UNRATED X COWBOY UP X SPACE MONKEY Crossbred Radioactive Stress Pending :: $250 per dose Owned with Brinning Genetics NEW BOAR REPORT >> Radioactive is the shortest bodied, sappiest bellied Swagger son with amazing outward turn and curvature to his ribcage. His running gear is outstanding and it is operated with a huge forearm. This stout skulled, big boned boar comes from the absolute best sow family at Brinning Genetics. • Dam is a littermate to Ya Know, the high selling male weanling at Duncan in 2011 and has consistently been generating show barrow designed hogs. • Grandma is the mother of the 2012 Grand Champion Market Hog at the Iowa State Fair and a true generator. • The Great Grandma is our 96 litter Space Monkey sow that has countless females going back to her in our herd and also produced the Champion Dark Cross Barrow at 2009 San Antonio. PAGE 8 WWW.ALLAMAREKNSIRES.COM GUNSLINGER X BLUE MOON X AMEN Crossbred Slinging Ink Stress Negative :: $150 per dose NEW NEW BOAR REPORT >> Slinging Ink is out of a picture perfect Blue Moon x Amen sow. His dam is an intensely linebred Alias as we have and combined with linebred pedigree of Gunslinger. This guy should generate highly consistent offspring. This guy is made a lot like his mother and isn’t freaky anywhere, but presents no major flaws. He is ideal in his head shape and carriage. He, along with several of his littermates, offers the unique dark blue pigment. Use this guy to inject not only the marketable color but also the build and design it takes to win big. As Slinging Ink is only a March 1st pig, semen will not be available until at least mid-September. We appreciate your understanding. SWAGGER X BIG PAPI X SPACE MONKEY Facepaint Crossbred Stress Carrier :: $150 per dose NEW BOAR REPORT >> Swagger’s track record in the southwest convinced us to try and make a son. We mated him to a tall fronted, short bodied Big Papi daughter. Most pigs go through stages after weaning where they lose bloom and muscle, not this guy. He stuck out like a sore thumb in the nursery and every phase since. Facepaint is stout skulled, short bodied boar with a ton of shape. He should work well on sows that need a shot of hard muscle and bone. PAGE 9 STARBUCK X THE GRIZZ Shooting Star Yorkshire StressRegistration Negative #545361003 :: $150 :: EN per 10-3 dose NEW BOAR REPORT >> Shooting Star is out of Starbuck, who has proven himself as a dominant sire of winning barrows and gilts. This was a tremendously deep litter with us retaining one sister and Cash Voegele successfully jackpotted the other in Iowa. Shooting Star is a rugged featured boar, who is great bodied and well balanced from the profile. His frame size is ideal for making better barrows and breeding gilts. Both sides of his pedigree are big footed, stout boned hogs and we feel he will be valuable to make better purebreds and crosses.

Big Brother was always the biggest, stoutest pig in an awesome litter that was the result of this mating. Man, we are happy with the outcome! Grandma not only produced Serious Change that was housed at Upperhand Genetics, but more importantly she has put 15 productive daughters back into our herd. Best thing about his pedigree is he has three shots of the great breeding boar Spud. If you need soundness, design and impeccable structure in your program, use Big Brother on your Yorkshires and Crossbreds.
