Reference Sires
G CH SMK Tuahuru 3 | Takoma
(DWF Demetrius x SMK Takara)
Takoma is an outlier that we admired long before his acquisition! Large scaled, long bodied, more air underneath. The sows behind and ahead of him mature into large, productive females, which is why it is no surprise that he has excelled in generating replacement females. During the 2023 IKHR Royal Christmas Show, Takoma was placed 1st in the aged boar class, and went on to take Grand Champion overall boar under judge Alan Snedegar. He displays favorable SNP markers in pork tenderness, moisture, pH, and general meat quality. As of late 2024, Takoma has over 250 progeny in the IKHR herd book - more documented offspring than that of any other purebred Kunekune boar.
ILF BH Tutaki 17 | Gendarme
(CH ILF Landjager x BAIN Willa)
Gendarme was produced by Ivanleigh Farms, and imported into the U.S. from Canada in 2022. He was selected based on numerous production traits including growth rate, loin depth, and backfat. He ranks as the #1 sire in our herd for muscle and lean gain, and was used heavily in 2024. Gendarme tested favorable for pork tenderness, and moisture SNP markers.
CH LOZ Mahia Love 14 | St. John
(Res. G CH USA Fergus Henderson x LOZ Robin)
The decision to purchase St. John was a no brainer. Prior to landing at PSP, St. John already both a daughter, and son working in our herd. His influence comes with extreme length of body, and great underlines with an increased number of teats. His progeny are fast growing with adequate muscle. Looking to his past, St. John shares the same sire as some of the greatest sows in the breed... BAIN Tapeka 2 - Willa, and LOZ Jenny 6 - Tea Cozy. His impact is well established, and we can't wait to use his genetics straight from the source!
USA Mahia Love 151 | Jambon
(CH LOZ St. John x USA Patty Cake)
Observing the true potential of USA Paté genetics unfold, we sought to have her as a boar to enhance MGI in our operation. Lord willing, when the opportunity arose, we jumped! Jambon is one of the greatest sires we have had the opportunity of utilizing. He is the ultimate production boar... possessing very sound feet and legs, flexibility, style, masculinity, and being favorable for pork tenderness, and moisture meat quality markers. THANK YOU Dave & Jamie Russell.
