It’s time to turn it WIDE OPEN!! This special boar is our recent acquisition from Keplinger Farms that has been unbelievably popular on tours. Keplinger purchased WIDE OPEN from S&K Showpigs as a baby pig. Stauffer went and saw him and after talking with them about their plans to use WIDE OPEN extensively across their herds we knew we needed to go see him. WIDE OPEN took about 2 steps out of the barn and we knew we were going to do whatever it took to bring him to PBG!! We sincerely thank Keplinger Farms and S&K Showpigs for the opportunity to own WIDE OPEN!

Visually, WIDE OPEN brings all the extras you could ever want with a flawless skeletal build. He’s bold coming at you with a stout skull, wide chest, and the look of a power hog. As he turns to the side, he exhibits ideal lines and proportions, with everything transitioning and blending so smoothly. He’s busted open end to end with a monster back and gives you an unforgettable view going away displaying a big square hip, shape down low with flair to his stifle, and a dense, square hind leg that motors and functions to such a high degree. With this bulletproof build and structure, combined with all the extras he’s the kind of boar to turn WIDE OPEN and use on as many sows as possible.

WIDE OPEN is sired by the great Wide Awake—one of the most popular boars we have ever had here at PBG that is off to one of the best starts of any sire we have had here. His ability to generate extras with incredible flexibility and looseness of skeleton make him a truly rare sire! WIDE OPEN’S mother is a Saved By Grace x Cruel intentions sow that is also the mother of High Heat at Moyer’s Genetic Edge and a class winner at Houston. This sow is a littermate sister to the ‘22 California State Fair Grand Champion Gilt! WIDE OPEN’S pedigree is absolutely loaded with influential boars and sows that are proven to make winners on the big stages! Here he is—-WIDE OPEN!
