Not illustrated. 1921 Excerpt: ...farrowed September 2, 1910; litter, 10. Bred by J. W. Pfander & Sons, Clarinda, Iowa. Got by Long King's Equal 177373; dam, Mammoth Giantess 3d 391308. A line bred Giantess sow, and a producing sow of renown. Her first litter was by A Wonder 107353; the second by Big Joe 200767, and the third by Big Ben 208905. It was the third litter that brought fame to this sow and gave to the world one of the greatest families for the advancement of the breed in many years. We refer to Disher's Giant 240655, Hercules 68356 S, and Mammoth Giantess 13th 519358. Disher's Giant went east and was the prime factor in the great impetus of the breed from 1914 to 1920. Hercules, while not the breeding boar of his litter brother, proved superior to many boars of his day. Mammoth Giantess 13th sold for the record price of $3300a carrying a litter by the renowned Gerstdale Jones. Another sow in this litter, known as Mammoth Lady 547128, was sold to Fesenmeyer and was one of the great brood sows in his herd. The litter by A Wonder 107353 produced the great breeding boar King of Wonders 205757, used so successfully in the Pfander & Sons herd. The litter by Big Joe 200767 produced Pfander's Giant 219567, retained in the Pfander & Sons herd. Lady Lunkek 538712 A, 182572 N, farrowed February 24, 1911; litter, 8. Bred by Win. Lentz, Ankeny, Iowa; sold to W. C. Disher, New Weston, Ohio, October 13, 1911; sold to Sol. L. Leonard, St. Joseph, Mo., March 29, 1918; resold to Harry Moore, Gardner, Kas., January 23, 1920; resold to H. C. Bigelow, Gardner, Kas. Got by Big Crow 162503; dam, Black Night 394520. Lady Lunker in the herd of W. C. Disher proved one of the breed's greatest brood sows, through her ability as a producer of extra choice herd boars and as the dam of Big Lil 555...
