PLATINUM!! This impressive creature is our purchase from Riggs-Thurston Showpigs from the ‘25 The Connection. With the ever-increasing popularity in blues/light cross divisions, the demand for elite light cross boars is at an all-time high, and without question, PLATINUM is as popular of a young light cross boar as we have ever housed at PBG!!

PLATINUM offers the extremes in terms of bone, feature, width, and power in a package that is so good from a build, structure, and correctness standpoint. From the side he is absolutely wild in his appearance, impeccable in his proportions, and gives a very memorable impression as he strides. He drives at you with a big, bold chest floor, and leaves with that same kind of power and mass. It’s hard to combine all of the extras with a flawless build, but PLATINUM does that at a very high level!! If your goal is to make light crosses that can stand out and win big at the highest levels, PLATINUM is a must use boar!

PLATINUM is backed by an incredible genetic package that gives us even more confidence in his generating power. He is sired by the living legend Wide Awake! PLATINUM’S dam is a Buckle Up x Never Before sow who ties into a very potent sow line responsible for a ton of success on big stages. PLATINUM’s mother is a littermate to the $20,000 prospect that sold at the ‘23 Perfect Timing Sale. The Never Before grandmother is the mother of the ‘22 Indiana State Fair Reserve Grand Gilt, ‘23 Houston Division Champion Other Cross Barrow, and ‘23 STC Reserve Cross Boar!!

PLATINUM is a special boar and we have tremendous amount of confidence in his ability to be a game-changing sire in the light crosses for the years to come!!
