HEAVY STRUCTURED YORK BOAR

Post by TDODD » Tue Jan 19, 2016 9:27 pm

Wanting peoples opinions on york boars that have some leg and are heavy structured. I wont sacrifice soundness. Opinions on any that you've tried or seen that would fit this bill are appreciated. Thanks!

I would talk to Dan Burzlaff about the boar he bought at the Barrow Show. I think they call him "Night Cap". Great White x His Dams littermate.

Bone buzz has been pretty consistent at generating bone. I would use him if your sow has plenty of body and volume.

What would you say his frame size is. Im needing to add a bit more leg and just overall heaviness of structure. The sow has everything else.

Bone Buzz is Average Frame size. He shouldn't make them dinks. I think he should be big enough outlined to use on an average framed hog. His front pasterns are good and he is pretty tall fronted if that helps any.
