Lister Star History Lesson!
In the beginning, Lister made the Star clipper and used only a tan colored body for it. If you have one, and if the label is still on the switch slide, there should be a number stamped on it such as this one, 02056. The number represents that this was the 2,056 Lister Star ever made! When they changed to the green colored body, they quit stamping the number on the clipper. Most of these tan ones are “oldies but goodies”! A client sent it in to be serviced and it runs like a new set! Happy clipping, everyone!

Look at this! Re-posted with permission. Look at the different lengths between the teeth of this Lister Fine comb! Personally, I’ve not noticed this before, but I am watching out for it now! This blade would lead to an uneven cut of the length of wool. If you buy a set of blades, take them out as soon as you receive them and look out for irregularities like this and send them back!!!!

A client loaned this equipment to a friend and they ran into some fungus/ringworm, so to be proactive, they treated the blades with Ringout. However, they didn’t think about the 32oz of WATER added to the bottle of product and coated the blades with it. Remember to rinse any water soluble product with a petroleum based product to prevent rust. I use diesel fuel, but WD-40 is great, too! The acronym stands for Water Displacement- 40th trial! I was only able to save two of these combs, so the end result was a $150-200 loss of equipment!

Clippers blade clients in the Show Pig World, and others, look at what this family is doing to ease the shipping crisis that industry has been facing! Many show lamb breeders have been making their own runs to RSG or other breeders who collect semen. Short read, and of utmost importance!

We’ve had a lot of people ask about us, Boar Dash and how we got started-

➡️Who we are:
Matt, Paige & Cooper-
Matt, in partnership with Sean Gaskins, created Dirty South Genetics – producing numerous winners on a State and National Level. Throughout his years in the industry, he has had the privilege of working with or beside countless industry leaders. Paige graduated from OSU (go pokes!) with an Animal Science degree and the duo imported pigs from Portugal and created Scissortail Steading- a premier Iberico reproduction company. Since, she has created a Financial Advising firm specializing in individuals and businesses in the agriculture industry. The two understand the joys and frustrations of raising and breeding livestock, marketing, relationships and business development not only on a state level but both nationally and internationally. Cooper, is currently in prekindergarten and loves being outside, helping mom and dad with all businesses and anything with wheels.

➡️Why did we create Boar Dash
In early 2025 out of curiosity, Matt began conversations with long time friend, Evan Green, and Oklahoma based boar firms about the struggles they face, with the primary being shipping. Boar Dash was an idea to help bridge the gap of a faulty delivery service that was making guarantees and not following through. Through Boar Dash - Matt’s goal is to provide a delivery service with a relationship. While most people don’t know their delivery drivers name, history or their why – its matt’s goal to bridge the gap between delivery service and the connection between firm and breeder.

➡️How are we different from other delivery providers?
When you call the numbers associated with Boar Dash, you get a real individual (at most times of the day/nihgt) – most of the time either Matt or Paige. We have experienced the same struggles you have or are experiencing – having imported semen from Portugal and breeding over 300 sows, we understand the frustrations of getting a box late, not receiving a box, a box being damaged or unusable. We care, not only for the package but for you - your success and the future of your operation. We hold the livestock and agriculture industry close to our hearts, both the show industry and production agriculture- it is our goal to preserve and create relationships within it with unique and strategic opportunities.

➡️How do we operate?
When placing an order with a firm, you will share with them that your preferred delivery method is Boar Dash. We ask that you reach out to Matt that way we are aware as we will NOT pick up a shipment that has not been confirmed with us! We will obtain the box and place in a climate-controlled vehicle. At the completion of the pickup route, we will begin distributing boxes – in most cases our routes are completed in 48 hours, as we drive all day/night, for you to receive your shipment in a timely manner. Once your shipment has been delivered, we then invoice out to the receiver via a card processing service – we still accept cash and check!

We could not have done this with our initial support of our Oklahoma breeders: Savage Genetics, Sixty-Six Ventures, Todd Showpigs, Winnercircle Showpigs, Hofschulte Genetics, Winter Livestock & Feed - Show pigs. We are extremely grateful for the trust and opportunity from the following firms: Shaffer's Goldrush, Heimer Hampshires, Perry Swine Genetics, Upper Hand Genetics, Top Cut Genetics, Premium Blend Genetics, Real McCoy Genetics, Hi Point Genetics, Queen Family Showpigs, Purple Power Boar Stud,LLC, Crossroads Genetics Inc, Jeff King.

As we quickly move forward- we are excited to expand delivery to numerous other states and firms!

With much love & gratitude,
Matt & Paige

Here is the result of leaving your blades in the clipper for an extended period of time. These were used on a goat that was damp, like many of us prefer, but if put away wet, rust creeps in! It also requires extra grinding to smooth past the corrosion pits by your sharpener. I realize it is an extra step, but removing your blades from the clipper will eliminate this problem! Wipe them dry and apply a little oil for extra care!
