Lackeys Notes From The Road

What a week looking at hogs, I have been out in South Dakota. I had great visits at Nelson Bros, Robert Rasmussens, Olsens, and Randy Wirts. The hogs looked great! I have looked at Olsens sale pigs, if you have questions give me a call. I will be working the sale tomorrow.

The Moore Power Yorkshire boar at Chuck and Bens needs used guys. He is the most interesting York boar I have seen since I started working for the NSR. Plus, there cross bred boar called Boost is doing a great job. If you have questions on herd boars give me call.

Lackey's Notes From The Road

The past couple of weeks have been extremely busy, I have been attending sales in Iowa, Indiana, and Illinois. Plus, trying to get herd visits scheduled and look at online sale pigs. It has been an exciting spring so far, all most all the sales I have attended have increased their averages from a year ago, and we are not quit halfway thru the sales season. If you follow the online sales you know that they have been crazy as well.

I saw a great set of pigs at Rodibaugh’s this week. If you are in the market for mid January thru first of February showpigs, I would encourage you to stop by the farm or attend their upcoming sale. The pigs looked outstanding and this firm has the reputation of producing winners.

There is also a great set of hogs being offer on http://www.nsr-buyerschoiceauction.com/. If you have not taken the time to visit this site you should. We will be hosting four sales the week of April 9 – 13, Triple B Sires, S&L Show Stock, Lane Farms, and Thompson Brother Genetics.

I will be attending Brattain's sale on April 6th and Robin Ridges sale April 7th, plus OBC Genetics Sale on April 13, and the Heart of it All Sale and Iowa Elite on April 14, if I can be of any assistance at these sales, PLEASE don’t hesitate to stop and visit with me or give me a call.
