It is highly encouraged that all boars are Stress & Napole tested before they exhibit and any ABA events. 

The ABA Board of Directors supports and will follow the ban of blowers, porta coolers, and any paint or adhesive at any CPS/ABA open shows starting January 1, 2026.

The American Berkshire Association assumes no liability for any purchases that are made of Berkshire pigs that have unknown Stress or Napole status of any DNA status that is not permitted for registration.  The American Berkshire Association makes no warranty regarding the stress gene, Napole or other DNA status not permitted for registration. 

For questions regarding open show information, please contact the ABA office.

Please note that lot numbers will be assigned during check-in at the show. The herdmarked that is asked is the exhibitors, not the breeders.
