2010 Sire EPD's available - from the 2010 Progeny Test. 

NEW!! On June 5, 2011 the ABA Board of Directors passed Standard Procedures for DNA Testing and Reporting of Results. To view this policy, click here.  These procedures will apply any time an animal is supposed to be stress negative, but does not stress test as negative.  This includes an animal tested at a Team Purebred junior show (all Champion and Reserve barrow, gilts and market hogs will be tested in 2011), any animal that is purchased at an ABA show/sale or purchased private treaty. 

AI certificates - effective June 5, 2011 you will need an AI certificate for every litter (we will no longer have the multiple AI certificates for semen purchased on the same day).  We apologize for any inconvenience, but with the number of AI certificates we process, we can no longer accept the multiple AI certificates. 

Members Only, Boar Studs Only and Certified Herds - you must have a username and password to enter these areas.  In the Members Only area you can do online litter registrations and transfers; we must have a credit card on file in order to use this area.  You can print off litter registration forms, a price sheet and other registration needs by clicking on "Forms" along the left side of this page.  Boar Studs Only is for boar studs to enter online AI certificates.  Certified Herds is for herds in our 100% Pure Berkshire Pork® to enter monthly reports.  If you need a username and password for any of these areas, you  must contact the ABA office.
