Harman Farms is honored to donate the 2017 CTBR Foundation Gilt. This gilt is a Loud Mouth x Dirty Laundry x Maverick. She hasn’t ever been shown, which means she hasn’t ever been on paylean or matrix, and she has been on 16-18% protein her whole life. She has a 7-7 underline and is stress negative. The gilt is out of a 2nd parody sow, and a litter of 9 born alive and 9 weaned. Her mother’s first litter had a class champion spot at Houston in 2016.
We will be keeping a littermate boar that we’ll call “Here for the Party.” She has two littermates pictured below that were 3rd and 4th overall spots at Denver. We believe this girl to be out of our best line of spot sows.

Sire – Loud Mouth (Upperhand Genetics)
The amount of winners that Loud Mouth has had in the past 6 months to a year is too long to list. Here are a few of the most recent. Loud Mouth was also “Man of the Year”
- Champion Spot Denver 2017
