Hamp and cross boars
Have an old line hamp gilt that is large framed and needs a shot more muscle and base width. What hamp boar would fit the bill? Also have a pure york sow that I want to cross. she has produced 2 litters that have done ok would like to breed for more muscle def and base width, any suggestions?
On the Hamp, stay with the Agusta line. Point Taken at SGI would be my 1st choice. Makes really good show barrows.
On the York, not knowing the pedigree on your york, but I have one bred to Turbo at Hi Point. He will blow them apart and mass them up. They say Twin Turbo will do the same. Hi Point's last couple of on-line sales have pigs bred that way and they look impressive in the pictures.

Have mostly old line true pure hamp sows - no show pig Piet cross Hamps - but when crossed with show pig pedigreed Hamps the pigs can be pretty good. My best crosses have involved the Homemade line at Hi-Point.
In truth, if your priority is muscle, that is pretty easy to find in Hamps. Underline quality and structure ............ that is another issue.
