The Sow Herd
CH ILF Tapeka 56+ | Thumbelina
(CH ILF Landjager x BAIN Willa)
Based on her genetic background, we had very high expectations for this sow out of the gate. Thumbelina has yet to let us down, and has served as a true building piece. Our herd consists of more Thumbelina daughters than that of any other sow, or boar for that matter. At 12 months of age, Thumbelina exceeded 200 lbs, while measuring at a 0.7 inch backfat, 51 mm loin depth, and about 6.0 in² LEA. She holds our on-farm record for 21-day litter weight. Her genomics panel confirms favorable markers for pork tenderness and moisture.
PSP Tapeka 13+ | Bodini 22-1
(G CH SMK Takoma x CH ILF Thumbelina)
Standout from day one, this female is in our opinion the most attractive, and with feet and legs that are tough to beat. Carcass merit ultrasound indicates a LEA of 4.92 in², and IMF of 3.0%.
PSP Tapeka 14+ | Pralines 'n Cream 22-2
(G CH SMK Takoma x CH ILF Thumbelina)
Personal favorite from the 22 litter gilts. She has a big rib cage, wide based, and check out that ham. 22-2 is the thickest muscled gilt in the litter, scanning at a LEA of 5.89 in², and IMF of 2.7%.
PSP Tapeka 11+ | Bluebell
(S CH USA Galloway x CH ILF Thumbelina)
Bluebell is going to hang around for one more litter. She has been an excellent mother, and offers a leaner carcass with a yearling backfat of 0.91 inches. Hoping we can increase muscle in her pigs and keep backfat similar.
PSP Tapeka | 6-6

Reference Sows
CAM Wilsons Gina 11 | Theadora
(BVF Theodore x XTC Tiara)
A "super sow" for productivity within the Kunekune breed. In 8 parities she averaged 10.9 pigs per litter, with a total farrowed of 87 pigs across her lifetime! Theadora is as long bodied as we've seen them come, great mothering ability, and has proven to be a true sow generator. Our herd boar SMK Takoma is out of a Theadora daughter, SMK Takara. Several gilts are working their way into the PSP sow herd.
Supreme National CH USA Jenny 190 | Tetley Tea
(G CH USA Bakers Man x LOZ Tea Cozy)
Bakers Man daughter number three, Tetley Tea! Studying the Bakers Man daughters side by side, the flexibility and length of body coming from Tea Cozy's influence in the mix is impressive. These characteristics are largely responsible for Tetley's success in the ring, and we are on our toes to see what will come out of her next! Pork Panel genomics reveal homozygous markers for favorable pork tenderness, moisture, marbling, and meat quality.
CH PSP Tapeka 9+ | Buttercream
(S CH USA Galloway x CH ILF Thumbelina)
Thick muscled, leaner growing sow with good breed character and classic look. Carcass merit scanning displayed a backfat measurement of 0.93 inches, and LEA of 5.0 in². SNP testing confirms favorable genes for pork tenderness and moisture traits. Took Champion Senior Yearling sow under Al Snedegar and Howard Parrish in 2024 Royal Christmas Show.
CH PSP Tapeka 15+ | Galaxy 22-3
(G CH SMK Takoma x CH ILF Thumbelina)
The "heavy-weight" of the 22 litter gilts, this female is stout from the ground up and from shoulder to hip. Lots of of natural volume, and spring of rib in this girl. As she is maturing, we're seeing her as an impressive, complete package female. She brought forth a 5.38 in² LEA, and 3.5% IMF. In the 2024 Royal Christmas Show, she took Champion Junior Yearling female under judges Al Snedegar and Howard Parrish.
