We used him for spring pigs. They turned out to be really nice hogs. Good look, good shape, needed more bone and foot size, but overall I liked them and they sold well.

Anyone seen him? What are your opinions? Plan on using him on our foundation sow. She's done quite well in the past with Bone Collector and Bone Thug. Did not want to venture out too much, but wanted to try something a little different as she is getting pretty old. Any opinions appreciated.

No one has used him?

Wondering what kind of luck others have had with this boar. Thanks for any information.

For those who have used him. What did you think? How did the pigs feed out?

What kind of pigs is the boar Wide Out producing?

Saw several hogs that I liked out of him this fall. Just wondering how he is working for most of you guys. Consistency? Thanks for any replies.

Had a litter out of Off the Hook (PSSS) las year that were packed full of muscle and had good wheels for chesters. Very consistent litter. Had the champion market OPB at the Rio Grande Valley livestock show in 2009 and a reserve champion breeding gilt. If we would have entered both in the market sh...

Very good. The gilts seem to be better than the boars, but the litters are gilt rich, so the odds may have just gotten to us. They are more moderate in their size than some other litters out of the same sows and seem to have a lot of muscle, or at least show potential to have a lot of muscle.

How has this boar worked for those that have used him? Thanks in advance for any responses.

<t>All three are related. Not sure of the breeding on the oldest sow, and the other two are her daughters out of B&B. Had some red in an M&M litter on the old sow three seasons ago. One of the others had no red when bred to M&M. This time we used Special Reserve and got red in every litt...

Trigger at A Cut Above is doing a great job, too.

That is what I figured, too. I've had one litter in the past have red hair and it was out of M&M. This season I bred three sows to another very popular boar and had red in all three litters. The are awfully nice pigs, but no one will buy them because they won't classify.

Anyone out there having this problem out of some of the more popular spot boars?

<t>The purebred and showpig industry goes through these cycles of changing types. A hog man that has been in the business for a while probably knows that these "extremes" are not the "right kind" but has certainly seen the hills and valleys we go through in this industry. My dad used to gripe about ...
