Beer Belly has moved to Power Point Boar Stud in South Dakota.
Call them for semen - 877-925-4858



Beer Belly sired 6 County Grands or Reserves in 2009 on limited sows. For an old boar, Beer Belly still makes them stout and we are extremely excited to breed his daughters for the 2010 pig crop as they are tremendous in the crate!

Thank you Shipley Genetics for allowing us to partner with Stallion. In 2009 he has sired 33 County Grand Champions and countless Reserve Champions. Stallion has added a lot of width, depth of body, bone, and unbelievable soundness to our pigs. We have 28 litters of Stallion's born this summer.



We have rides to Colorado/Wyoming area and Texas for pigs in the next two weeks. We guarantee our selection. Some tremendous barrows and gilts available! Some of you wanting to upgrade your sow heard give us a call as we only need to keep back 10-15 gilts from this summer's farrowing!

25 July litters, 25 August litters and 25 September Litters for sale this summer.

2009 Summer Sires

Jerry McClemore • T-Classic, 103, Sundown, T-Off, Homeboy

Shipley • Stallion, Tug Boat

Power Point • Smoke Wagon

McClouds • I Got Time
 


We sincerely thank all of the people who purchased pigs this spring.
We really appreciate it!

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.
