- Not since we saw Ulf in the sister herd to Aplung have we been so excited as when we first spotted JENS.
- He is a big framed, long bodied boar, yet wide sprung with a big meaty shoulder, good spring of rib, thick-square rump and very thick, muscular ham.
- He is a sound, free moving boar with even toes and excellent set to his shoulder and front legs.
- He has an excellent underline, clean sheath and big testicles.
- JENS had an equally impressive littermate boar at Aplung's plus three very outstanding littermate sisters, JENS' sire has a breeding index of 111. His 6 progeny test groups averaged 0.59 inch of carcass backfat, + 14 grams deviation for growth and 63.7% lean. (1.8% above the station mean).
- JENS' dam has a 103 breeding index with her progeny test group also averaging 0.59 inch carcass backfat and 62.8% lean. She has averaged 9.5 born live, 9.0 weaned and 155 day farrowing interval for 4 parities.
- JENS' maternal grandsire has an outstanding 115 breeding index.
- JENS' maternal granddam is sired by Spiro, who had a 118 breeding index and was the sire of Ulf's dam.
- The grandsire of JENS' paternal granddam was also the paternal grandsire of Ulf. With the combination of JENS' strong genetic heritage and outstanding phenotype, we are confident he will make a postive contribution toward building leaner, more productive Yorkshires.
- JENS has certainly proven his ability to remove fat ranking 2nd in the Yorkshire Sire Summary for backfat EPDS and 7th for TSI in the January 1993 Sire Summary. Now as his daughters have come into production he has also proven to transmit superior reproductive traits as indicated by his 4th place ranking in MLI and 2nd place ranking in EPDs for litter weight in the January 1996 Summary. He moved to 1st on LWT EPDs in November 1998 and currently is 2nd.
