It has taken a while to get this boar pictured because of an injury when he was about 6 months old, but I TRULY BELIEVE THIS IS ONE OF THE BEST BOARS WE HAVE EVER PRODUCED! We shut down semen sales the first season to use him exclusively here at Beyers Farms and opened up sales on him March 1 and he has been well received! He has the ideal frame size and proportions. Extremely wide and square off both ends with added bone and extremely big feet! Tie that together with a stout head, a round rib cage, an impressive upper skeleton, and an elite presence and you have Set The Curve! He sires very consistent and comes as close as any boar I have worked with at covering a large percentage of sows with different phenotypes! He will just make them better! And does it along with making them great in their angles and athleticism off both ends!
His dam is writing her own story here! So far here is a list of what she has produced and they all would be littermates or full sibs to Set The Curve:

Pack A Lunch was born in August of 2018. Between the fact of myself being way too busy and the weather not exactly cooperating, he was never pictured. His littermate is pictured that was a class winner at the 2019 OYE and was also Champion Duroc Barrow at Grady County, Oklahoma as well for Keaton Clark. Pack A Lunch was always destined to be a boar prospect in that litter because he was just one of those that would be difficult to replicate on a consistent basis! Not only did he have the balance, build, and ideal muscle/maturity pattern that we all look for in elite red hogs, but he brought some extras to the table in terms of bone, elevation at his shoulder and presence out in front of his blade! We used Pack A Lunch very heavy in his first crop and the pigs were everything I expected and more! He has since been used even harder for this next crop! He follows the Lesson Plan stuff real good at our place and several other lines as well!
Pack A Lunch come out of his mother’s first litter. In her second litter, she made the Champion Duroc & Grand Overall Land of Lincoln Barrow for Ella Bobell at the 2019 Illinois State Fair Junior Show and a couple of other highly successful jackpot barrows and a keeper gilt as well. Her third litter, that we just got done marketing, was possibly her best litter yet! That included our $6,400 Purette Gilt at the Perfect Timing Pig Sale! Needless to say, she is starting to surface as a key sow within the herd! Great herd boars come from even better sows! Use Pack A Lunch with confidence, we have taken the guesswork out of the equation here!

Committed was the boar we retained out of the pair we offered choice of in the 2022 NSR Draft. He offers some fresh blood on the bottom side of his pedigree being out of a gilt purchased from Derek Bartholemew at the 2019 Summer Type Conference. His dam has been awesome to work with and has produced several winners and several females that we have put back in the herd! This is the first time I have retained a boar pig out of her and this thing has some big time breeding value!
Committed is a tall shouldered boar that is very square built from top to bottom and front to rear! Extremely impressive in his upper skeleton with a long, level, square hip and a awesome hind leg! To add to this he is a stout featured boar that has a stout skull, big legs, and big feet!

Fool Proof is a littermate to the Champion Duroc Barrow at the 2019 Tulsa State Fair, the Reserve Duroc Barrow at the 2019 State Fair of Texas, and the Reserve Duroc Gilt at the 2019 Georgia State Fair! His dam is a littermate to the Champion Duroc Barrow at the 2018 Illinois State Fair Open Show!
Fool Proof offers some outcross blood on the top side of the pedigree being out of Clout, the Champion Duroc Boar at the 2018 Fall Classic from Huinker Durocs. As you can tell by the above paragraph, he is out of an extremely deep and consistent litter! Fool Proof himself is a moderate sized, extremely big ribbed boar, with monstrous legs and huge feet! He was always the biggest and squarest backed one of the litter with a big square hip as well. And to compliment all this muscle he handles it with a very angular and athletic skeleton! Fool Proof will see heavy use here, not only to make the next generation better but to offer a little bit of air in the pedigree as well!

This the 13 litter February boar that we could not let go! This Lesson Plan son offers some of the same unique pieces as his sire and puts it into a taller fronted, more athletic package! He has the same unique skull and head carriage that Lesson Plan stamps in his offspring and couples that with a big, round rib cage and a shapely upper skeleton! His hip is long and square and his hind leg is near ideal in terms of set and squareness! To top it off, he has big feet with dark, even toes.
His dam (3-6) is an Integrity sow that has been around for a while and compiled an impressive track record of producing winners in the showring and gilts to lay back in the herd, but her most famous daughter is the 8-7 Milestone sow. The 8-7 sow produced two of the top three Duroc barrows at the WPX in 2017, one of which was the Reserve Grand Overall that was shown by Lane Rinderer. She also produced the $16,000 sow that we sold in The Exchange Sale at the WPX this summer! Plus, many other winners and a daughter that produced Taking Lessons at Purple Power Boar Stud! She would also be the granddam of the Reserve Grand Overall Gilt at the NJSS this summer shown by Castin Rash!

To say that this one can be described as "unique" would be an understatement! Genetically, this guy is bred to be stout and he takes it to another level! Lesson Plan's mother (54-11) is quickly escalating in the ranks here at Beyers Farms. She is Backroad's sister and has garnered an impressive resume in just two litters, producing two herd boars and several winners already. Phenotypically, his pieces are not often found in the same package! His bone, foot size, and extra stoutness of feature tie into a mobile skeleton but, he adds to that by being a slick necked, good looking boar that can make show hogs that are hard to beat! Where he gets special is when you get on top of him. He is really square at the top of his blade and has a massive, shapely back that sits on top of a huge, barrel shaped rib cage! Tie all that in with a big, square hip and you have an awesome combination for making elite show barrows!
This guy is not for every sow, but if you need to stouten one up and make them more shapely and attractive, he can certainly do that in one shot! He will be a big part of the plan going forward here at Beyers Farms!

As this one’s name implies, he’s a little different than most raised here. This one is stout featured, chunky and sappy bellied. Is he perfect for all sows? No, but this one can make a big change with one shot. He has a tremendous body cavity starting with a big, powerful, square blade that sets on top of a huge forearm and big front foot. Forerib shape and center body shape are awesome, which allow for a huge back with a great turn to his loin. Flexibility and squareness are an added bonus for this unique herdsire.

Backroad is a littermate to the Champion Duroc at the 2016 Muskogee Regional in Oklahoma & the Fifth Overall Duroc Barrow at 2016 OYE! Yet another barrow was a premium sale qualifier at 2016 Houston! We retained a littermate sister that appears as though she is going to be a real generator, judging by her first litter. Backroad is a extremely intriguing breeding piece! He has enormous legs, especially rear legs, with big feet and great toes. He is extremely flexible in the way his skeleton is assembled from front to rear! Along with all that, he has a great presence up thru his front end with his head and neck coming real high out of his blade while still having a stout skull and jaw line! Squareness and shape of muscle are also a plus with this guy! We are breeding several sows to this guy! First litters were received very well this fall with the depth and consistency of the litters being extremely good!

We believe that breeding programs have points in time where it seems like all you've been working for come to fruition - a milestone per se.... A milestone is defined as a significant event or point in development. We think this boar has the opportunity to live up to his name! This was the one we could not part with. He had our interest shortly after he entered the nursey. His parts and pieces are what we have been searching for in our program for the last couple years. This is a moderate framed, opened up, big footed boar with a perfect skeletal build and the performance to go with it. His appetite and degree of flesh are a benefit of his perfect blade, chest and rib design that has not been manufactured by a feed or fat bucket. This one has big, even toes, and the perfect set to his rear pastern and spread between his dew claws. It all continues on the topside of his skeleton where he excels in mass and shape coming out of the backside of his blade and carries it all the way to the top of his hip. He will see heavy use here at Beyers Farms to continue a winning tradition started by Prenup, Timberwolf, Integrity and High Roller - which were all influential in our breeding program and others. We think this one is better and feel he can take us to the next level of breeding better Duroc hogs.

A special name for a special boar…We believe this one can make boars or gilts that can be competitive, but one thing is for certain, if he sires red barrows that look like him, it’s a done deal! He is great built, killer looking and has the shape and expression we all want in our show barrows. Is he a freaky, big legged one that will satisfy the bone freaks out there? Probably not, but he will fix some of the issues that come along with that extra coarseness that some want. Genetically, this one has been in the works for us for some time now. He traces back to our oldest sow line that started when Brett left Somerset. The pedigree from above continues: (Full Shift x OJ Junior x Drastic x The Natural x Trendsetter). The old Natural x Trendsetter sow at the end is the original 18-3 sow we started with some time ago. A blend of the old with a shot of new. We look for this one to be the “Face of Franchise” for years to come.
