Play to win with our complete Checker Mates Hog Breeding
Program. It's the result of many years of genetic research.
It can pay off in bigger, healthier litters in the farrowing house
thanks to the maternal heterosis of Checker Gilts. Plus, the
money saving performance punch contributed by Checker Boars
when your pigs reach the finishing house.
But it’s more than boars and gilts. It’s a complete breeding
program aimed at making you a winner.
Stop in and ask us about it today.
