I really like Mass Monster @ LVS. I will only say that I don't raise Duroc's so I won't be the expert. I just like the way he looks.

What is the percent of fat needed

In everyones opinion what is the ideal percent of fat in a diet to get 6 to 7 tenths of back fat on a hog at 260 lbs.
I guess you would also need to have a starting weight to go with that opinion.
Barrows and gilts may be different also.

The answer is economics 101 called supply and demand. As long as people are paying for high price semen they will continue to supply high price semen. The same with pigs as long as people pay high prices breeders will charge high prices.
