Duroc on a cross gilt

Post by Charliepig » Wed Oct 04, 2017 11:17 am

So one of my gilts is nicely built but lacked growth all year. I think I will breed her to a Duroc with good rib and middle just to get some growth back in the pigs. Thinking Watch and Learn at Danner at the moment. Gilt is chromed up black and white. Not much grey in her pedigree.

What do y'all think I'll end up with? Red belts? Calicos? Up ears? Ugly pigs? lol I've never tried this type of cross.

I did it the other year on a black cross. 6 black belts 6 red belts with black spots on them. No floppy ears
