Wow—what a SPECIAL Berkshire boar!!! SPECIAL TREATMENT is our purchase from Brice Conover at the 2024 National Barrow Show where he was the $19,000 Grand Champion Berkshire Boar! We had heard lots of chatter about this boar prior to the show, and after watching the webcast and hearing a legend like judge Bob Listen’s comments on him, we knew that we absolutely had to own him! After getting him home, we were blown away and believe he has a chance to make a long lasting impact on the Berkshire breed!!  
SPECIAL TREATMENT has all the traits you could ever dream of, all wrapped up in one dynamic package! He is extremely stout and rugged in his bone and feature, standing on very large legs and enormous feet, with toes that spread wide and plant and drive to perfection. From the side, he is so balanced and attractive with incredible proportions. He has an elevated and extended look through his front 1/3, while remaining so stout and masculine in his skull and jawline. As you get on top of him, he massive in terms of spread and dimension that he carries from end to end! He offers the right frame size and proportions to be able to make the barrows that can win, as well as the big ring show gilts that hang big banners! On top of all his phenotypic traits, SPECIAL TREATMENT comes from a legendary breeder in Brice Conover that calls him the best boar he has ever made! SPECIAL TREATMENT is aired by Special Effect 84-2 (a son of the great Special Effect) back on a Major League sow! This is a very potent pedigree that also offers some genetic diversity to blend very well back on the Top Shelf/Top It Off lineage! When it comes time to breed your best Berkshire sow, it’s always a good idea to give her SPECIAL TREATMENT!!!
