Here at Ottenwalter Show Pigs we have long prided ourselves in the quality of our sowherd. As most good hog breeders know, elite females are the key to any successful breeding program, and continually striving for genetic improvement is what drives success in this business. While a majority of our sowherd is derived as keeper gilts, we believe it is vitally important to lay in new genetics from time to time when we come across them. Below are photos of gilts we've either purchased or raised over the years that have become a part of our program. While our quest for constant improvement never ends, these girls and many, many more back in the sow barn are the reason why we've become known as "the nation's elite sowherd".

"When I decided to do this, I realized that I would have to let some very important pieces go in order to make this sale successful for both myself and the customer. With that said, I may be going a bit overboard here. 1-4 had a very illustrious show career which was concluded by her being named Champion Commercial Gilt at the 2009 Texas State Fair. Following her show career, her and her brother made the trip up to North Texas and the rest has been history. After having the World Record $27,000 Crossbred Gilt in Des Moines to start the summer, she ended it by having the Grand Champion Market Hog at the 2011 Iowa State Fair. 1-4 is a truly unique breeding piece, and one that has given us many memorable moments here at Fischer Show Pigs." -Mike Fischer
