LPLO6 Field of Dreams
Wanna B x Frontier 153-8

Thank you to MCCLOUD farms and Bruce Butler for purchasing half interest in our york boar Field of Dreams.




This barrow is a littermate to Field of Dreams.
Class 67, 5th Place York 2007 Houston Livestock Show.

Field of Dream's Dam side goes back to our original Ulf 166 sow we purchased at the Iowa State Fair 17 years ago. She was bred to Expo 94 and produced my sister's Grand Champion Yorkshire Gilt at the Iowa State Fair and was retained in our herd, and after crossing her up for a few years eventually bred her to the original Frontier in which we had the Grand Champion York Gilt (Purchased by Jamie Siren) and Grand Champion York Boar (Purchased by Chuck Olsen) at the Iowa State Fair. We kept one littermate that was Grand the same year at the Iowa State Fair FFA York Gilt show and after crossing a few years bred her to Sweetness 142-2. The Sweetness sow produced many Champion Crossbred Market Hogs as well as class winners at the Wyoming and Colorado State Fair. Finally we bred the Sweetness sow to Frontier 153-8 from Eddies and kept three gilts, one being the mother of Field of Dreams. If you want some proven genetics that are predictable then use Field of Dreams. He has as bold of a front end as you can put on one, yet carries into a big rib and deep, wide body and finishes with a powerful rear end. The best part is he floats everywhere he walks and gilts out of him will raise a lot of pigs.

Thank you for visiting our site. Ploeger Show Pigs is an outgrowth of a 4-H project that started 24 years ago. Although we have never advertised until  last year, we have produced a lot of County and State Level Champions over the years. We pride ourselves in selling honest hogs and deal with our  customers with a high level of integrity! The majority of our sow herd goes back to an Ulf 166 sow and two 105 gilts purchased from Ron Smith years ago. As of late, we have purchased and produced a great set of sows using genetics from Chuck Olsen, Gary Huseman, and Triple B Sires. It is also  important to thank Triple B Sires, Chuck Olsen, Hi-Point Genetics, Top Cut  Sires, John Penner, Lean Value Sires, and Rory Duelm for sending high  quality semen for our 2007 Spring Pig Crop. Give us a call, we would  appreciate the opportunity to do business with you.
