Breeding cross sow with opb

Post by Teddyballgame047 » Tue Nov 20, 2018 8:00 pm

I'm thinking about breeding my York appearing cross sow to a duroc, or spot. Does anyone know what her offspring would look like? Or if there is a good boar that throws berk color? Anything opb.

To get berk appearing crossbreds try x-ray vision at Southern gold sires. As for the colors of those other 2 breeds with you sow, it all depends how strong the york genes are in your sow. They will come out white with very little color, or they could come out looking like the father, or something in between. It has alot to do with what is behind your sow.

We have a blue butt sow that has duroc on her mother's side when she's bred to duroc she has red white and blue babies. Blue butts with red ears and guard hairs. Very cool looking.
