We made our way to Roger Lacy’s a couple times in the spring of 2025 for a reason. Some of the pigs our crew fed from him demanded taking a closer look and we were curious to dig deeper and see what was behind them. What we found was a built with intention and powerful enough to break through. Sledge is a littermate to the Grand Champion at the 2025 State Fair of Texas that Weston showed. The dam of the Grand Champion at the 2026 Houston is also a full sib to Sledge. He’s backed by a sow line that has done some damage: • 81-5: Great-granddam of Sledge and dam of Kaden Mason’s Grand at Fort Worth ‘22 • 81-11: Dam of Grant Lackey’s Grand at San Antonio ‘22 • 81-10: Dam of the Reserve Grand and Champion Heavy at Denver ‘22 • 81-7: Dam of the Champion Middle at Illinois Layer in Lead the Way, a Turning Tricks x 82-8 (Never Before) whose dam is a littermate to 82-5—Heavy Hitter’s grandmother—and you’ll find 81-5 stacked into this pedigree twice. I’ve got a lot of respect for guys who breed with a vision in mind. Roger did just that. That kind of intentionality creates consistency and consistency makes better pigs.
