LEAD THE WAY is our $80,000 weanling boar purchase from Knauth Showpigs at 2023 The Opener!!! He hit us EXTREMELY hard there at the sale and as he has matured, has absolutely been one of the most asked about prospects we have ever purchased! He was one incredible baby pig that has developed beyond what we could have ever hoped for. LEAD THE WAY is one very impressive creature that we are very excited to have here at PBG! LEAD THE WAY is one of those truly timeless individuals that would be impressive in any era. He is a very rare boars in his ability to combine so many extreme, far-reaching pieces, yet brings those traits in such a complete, balanced, structurally correct package. To combine this much power, bone, and stoutness in a package that is still so athletic, with incredible reach and range of motion off both ends is very hard to do—-LEAD THE WAY has got it all!!!

In addition to his obvious phenotypic value, he offers a bulletproof kind of pedigree that gives us an extreme amount of confidence in his ability to be a very special generator! He combines legendary sow families that have been responsible for countless major show winners over the last several years for Knauth Showpigs and ties numerous elite individuals into one powerful genetic package!!! LEAD THE WAY is sired by Turnin’ Tricks (Tricked Out x Never Before (Mother of the 2022 Ft Worth Grand Barrow) back on a Never Before x Rule 21 x Visionary sow! LEAD THE WAY’S mother is also the dam of the 2023 Ohio State Fair Open Show 5th Overall Barrow (Reserve Dark) and 2023 Ohio State Fair Jr Show 4th Overall Division 2 Dark Cross Barrow. (Her most recent litter is the powerful 23 litter sired by BUCKLE UP that sells in Knauth Showpigs farm sale this weekend!) LEAD THE WAY’S aunt is the mother of the 2021 Arizona National Grand Champion Gilt, and another of his aunts is the grandmother of Heavy Hitter! His Rule 21 Grandmother is the dam of Next Play and Play It Cool, and his Visionary great-grandmother is the mother of First Rule!! Serious sow power!!! When you are looking for one to get out front and ahead of the crowd, you’ve gotta have one that can LEAD THE WAY!!!
