HARD BALL is our $80,000 top-selling boar prospect purchase from Hilty Showpigs at the 2024 The Opener!!

To keep it short and sweet—HARD BALL is one of the most popular and exciting young boars we have ever introduced!! He displays an absolutely wild combination of look, true width, extreme power, and insane shape in a package that remains so balanced, proportional, and correct! He is a truly special individual that we believe has a chance to be one that is discussed in the future as a truly game changing sire!!

HARD BALL is sired by the great Heavy Hitter and out of a No Comparison x Never Before sow! On paper, this pedigree reads like a dream and it is so exciting to see that dream in real life.

HARD BALL was bred by Hilty Showpigs, a firm synonymous with making big-ring winners as well as breeding stock that go out and perform and make the next generation better!! The Hilty program has been a cornerstone of the PBG line-up and we have tremendous confidence that HARD BALL will continue that legacy!!!

It’s time to play HARD BALL!!!
