White Cross

Post by ceopig1 » Mon Feb 22, 2016 9:18 pm

What is the best solid white crossbred boar? Need to soften and add rib with adequate muscle and fairly short spined. Gilt has plenty of shape and really long bodied. Gilt is High Powered x Deuce Bigalow.

You are describing Muffin to a tee, he is stress positive though.

Thanks for the suggestion. I actually live pretty close to the stud. I should have clarified that I am looking for muffin with a different stress status.

I know you said you want a white cross but Shipley's has Stone Calf he's also a MonumentAL son like Muffin he's also Pit bull on his Dams's side some black in him but mostly white plus he's stress negative , I've been thinking about using him on one or two of my girls

Cookie at McCoys! From what I observed he will do what you need. Just protect front pasterns

Crowd Favorite will take away some bone, but he makes them made very well from the side. He won't hurt you for body or muscle but to me he probably doesn't have the rib that it sounds like you're looking for. Won't hurt you any there, but may not help enough

As far as Cookie goes, also watch him on squareness of chest. He is in at the knee some as well as down on his pasterns.

John Wayne would be on my list. Also the new boar Duelm just picked up at Belton. He's a beast.

Yep, heard he is a unique white hog with some really cool pieces. Going to have to look for him when rory gets him online. I didn't see him in person but talked to some that did.
