Has anyone had any litters out of rusty nuts and your thoughts?

I have heard through someone that he widens out the base of the pig, but the muscling is going to mostly come from the gilts side of the pedigree.

I was going to use him on a sow who has good width and muscling but she is very soft. Will he firm up the muscle? If not do you know of another boar that will throw a litter that a great majority will be red belted because that is the color of the sow and that is one of the things my daughter was looking at with him.

We have 2 pigs out of Rusty Nuts, they look real nice, good muscle shape, bone, tall fronted. The barrow we will keep for a market pig for our local show, the gilt will go for another market show. As for color, we bred him to our red calico gilt, all 8 came out red calico. I would recommend him.
