Brink Genetics: Seedstock, Swine

INTRODUCTION
THE BRINK PROGRAM IS BUILT AROUND SOW FAMILIES AND INDIVIDUALS THAT HAVE STAYING POWER. A BREEDING PROGRAM WITH INFERIOR FEMALES HAS LIMITED ADVANCEMENT. THAT IS WHY WE FOCUS ON BUILDING STRONG SOWS AND TYING THEM TOGETHER THROUGH THEIR SONS.
CONSIDER INCORPORATING THESE GENETICS INTO YOUR PROGRAM AND PULL OUR STRENGTHS OUT AND MOVE ON TO THE NEXT STEP THAT IS WHAT LIVESTOCK BREEDING IS ABOUT.

WE DO NOT TOLERATE SOME OF THE NONSENSE THAT HAS TAKEN THE BREED BACKWARDS TO ACHIEVE A PURPLE RIBBON AT THE HELM OF OUR PAST JUDGES THAT FOR SOME REASON SELECT AGAINST PERFORMANCE, FERTILITY, AND SOUNDNESS.
I HAD SOME HAMPSHIRES LIKE THAT BACK IN THE LATE 60’S AND BELIEVE ME THEY WERE NOT ANY FUN OR PROFITABLE THEN AND I DID NOT FORGET THAT TRIP .

THE HAMPSHIRE BREED CAN BE VERY UNIQUE AND REWARDING IT ONCE SET THE STANDARD FOR ALL. AS A BREED IF WE WOULD SET NEW GOALS AND GUIDE OUR YOUTH THE POTENTIAL IS UNLIMITED.

THE FOLLOWING ARE THE GENETIC CORNERSTONES THAT WE HAVE SELECTED IN OUR BREEDING PROGRAM TO ACHIEVE GENETIC ADVANCEMENT AND STABILITY. WE OFFER THESE GENETICS THROUGH MOST OF THE BOARS POSTED TO YOU WITH CONFIDENCE. ABILITY TO PROGRESS IS THE ABILITY TO SELECT AND WITH THAT WE WISH YOU PROGRESSION IN YOUR BREEDING PROGRAM.

In our ever-changing industry we have found that...

STOCKMANSHIP GENETICS NUTRITION ENVIRONMENT

...are important to keep our balance for a smooth-running business.

We can offer proven suggestions on nutrition and environment. Our specialties, though, are genetics and stockmanship. Our expertise in these fields come from generations of hands-on genetic evaluation where one individual works with the animals every day and records data. The industry has too many programs where genetic matings are mapped out without looking at phenotype, and several different individuals carry out the daily duties. This does not lead to quality with uniformity.

In achieving satisfaction for everyone we look at...

THE PRODUCER
who needs animals that are easy to raise and are profitable - not high maintenance like some are today.

THE PACKER
who needs 6.5" loins, .8" backfat, good bellies - pigs with capacity, average-size hams and meat quality to pass on to the consumer.

THE CONSUMER
who wants excellent eating qualities. The consumers have spoken and they do not want 8-10" loins that have .5" backfat and chews like leather with no flavor.

For the past few years the packers have over-emphasized muscle and leanness and have threatened against buying the producers' hogs. Meanwhile, meat quality is suffering and consumers are questioning our product. And the producer is complaining about the difficulties of raising these so-called "preferred genetics." To have a profitable business from conception to consumption with the number of hogs we are raising today, we need more balance.

Let's make our product so delicious that the consumer stands in line to buy!
