It’s time to TAKE THE LEAD!! This dynamic young sire is our $45,000 weanling purchase at The Get Together from Coulson Showpigs! We absolutely love this one and have a great deal of faith in what he is capable of as a sire!

TAKE THE LEAD combines so many positive traits into one impressive package. He is extremely stout at every indicator. From his skull, bones, and tail root—it all reads STOUT!! As you view him from the side, he is balanced in his build and so attractive in the look he displays ahead of his blade. He is very shapely up high with mass and power, with a crisp turn to his loin edge. He drives away with a big pin set, a muscular hip, and a hind leg that motors with authority. He is so fault free yet still brings those extremes that are absolutely necessary to win big in today’s show ring setting!

TAKE THE LEAD is sired by Lead The Way, the Knauth boar here at PBG, who is proving to be an incredibly consistent generator of champion show barrows and gilts at the highest levels of competition. TAKE THE LEAD emulates a lot of the characteristics that have made his sire so successful but comes in a package that offers even more extremes along with it. TAKE THE LEAD’s mother is a (Quite Frankly x Never Before) sow that Coulson Showpigs purchased as a young gilt from Tres Amigos for $20,000 at Holy Smokes. This sow traces directly back to the famous sow lines at Tres Amigos, responsible for more elite breeding stock and big wins than space allows here. He comes from a very deep litter of pigs that have high expectations as show season progresses. TAKE THE LEAD is an extremely impressive boar backed by some of the most elite and consistent genetics in the business. No guesswork here, just TAKE THE LEAD!
