Berkshire stress status can be negative, carriers or positive for registration purposes. We do not limit the use of carriers. All sires do have to be stress tested with that result in our system. Berkshires do have to be stress NEGATIVE to show at any ABA or Team Purebred event (some state fairs also require Berkshires to be negative). If an animal is not from a negative mating, the pig must be tested negative before it can be shown at Team Purebred or ABA events. Please contact the ABA office (765-497-3618) if you have any other questions on stress.
