West Coast LVS

[Charliepig]

Thinking of using West Coast at LVS this fall. Good bone and build. Looks square and correct. Anyone ever use him and have opinions? Thanks.

In my experience he won't add bone but he does make them complete/correct and has added appetite.

Is he a larger framed boar? I had thought about using him but was afraid he would add too much frame for the trend.

I would call him about right. In my opinion the trend is going to taller fronted more extended. I think we're going away from the toad look. You should watch LVS video and judge for yourself:

West Coast is around 13:15 into the video

I'd agree that the trend is changing. (Glad to see it change btw). Lots of talk now of tall shouldered, uphill, extended hogs. I like him on my best gilt to make some keeper gilts.

I have a summer litter on the ground, and they have some very good size to them. They have actually caught up with a litter that is a week and half older than them. I bred him to purebred York and the litter is nearly all white, one has black eyebrows and one has a black spot on nose. Other than that they would pass for yorks. They are tall fronted. Good eaters. I have been pleased with them. Oh and yes they are for sale.

What does he add and what do you protect him on?
