INITIAL SHOCK is our $25,000 purchase from Cole Genetics at the 2026 The Chosen Ones Sale!

We had heard about how special INITIAL SHOCK was from a very young age and he lived up to all expectations when we saw him at The Chosen Ones in February. More importantly, since his purchase he has matured into an absolute monster and we believe he will undoubtedly be one of the favorites of visitors on boar viewings this Summer!!

INITIAL SHOCK epitomizes balance and proportionality with everything blending seamlessly, all while packing every extra and “est” you could ever want! His view as he drives right at you leaves a lasting impression, with a big chest floor that transitions into a bold blade and massive center body cavity. Up high, he displays a massive back with hard shape that still lays smoothly across his skeleton, allowing him to handle it all with ease and comfort. As he drives away, he shows off a big pin set, a full rump, and stays wide and square as he travels with authority on an ideal rear leg. It’s rare that a boar offers the total package while still bringing those ever-important extras— INITIAL SHOCK represents that combination to the highest level!!

INITIAL SHOCK is sired by Culture Shock, the Team Sloan Livestock boar that has quickly become one of the most popular boars we have ever housed, siring the $1,020,000 World Record Selling SHOCK WAVE we purchased from Keplinger Farms in The Exchange, along with countless winners all over the country this early show season. We are absolutely pumped about the 8 sons of Culture Shock we will be introducing this summer and INITIAL SHOCK is one of our favorites! INITIAL SHOCK’S dam is a Lead The Way x Affliction sow who was the 2025 The Exposition 3rd Overall Crossbred Gilt! The Cole Genetics program has been on an absolute tear generating big-ring winners at the highest levels and the power packed sow line stacked behind this boar gives us even more confidence in his siring ability!

It’s time for the INITIAL SHOCK!!
