Bred by: George & Eric Watson - Hillsboro, KY
Owned With: SGI
Born: 06/13/10
Teats: 14
Persistent and focused breeding by the George and Eric Watson herd has again produced another genetic giant
Purchased privately off the Watson's farm this fellow, built from the ground up, stands on a large foot with tremendous bone and excellent set to his feet, hip and hind legs. Combine that with the power of width and body needed both in the production and show ring arenas; this one takes it out there a bit further in terms of Yorkshire breed value
He presents flawless structure with a long fluid stride with looseness to his big-full center body. His levelness of top line and beefy phenotype is ideal
Features terrific rib shape, internal width and dimension
Del Rio uniquely combines thick muscularity from end to end with superior growth
Extreme male aggression, with tremendous semen volume and quality. Immaculate 7-7 underline
Litter was produced from first parity female of 13 BA,12 W
The paternal pedigree ties together the productive "Cedarland Queenie" lines from the Schroeder herd of Wisconsin back on JGR6 Tank 9-5 on the ARK1 Raw Power 13-4 families
The paternal grandmother, WGW7 Miss Oleary 36-6, is a littermate to "Tug Boat"
Paternal grandsire, HSO7 Animal House 21-3, is also the grandsire of SGI 2487 King Lear
His maternal side heritage also includes the JGR6 Tank 9-5 line bred back on the notable "Hazel" sow family mated then on RWG7 Liquid Asset on Badger 13-4. Thus, the pedigree combines top-ranked sires for both litter size and litter weight, and has resulted in extreme levels of Yorkshire longevity and prolificacy
The maternal great-great grandmother on the dam's side, WGW7 Miss Executive 33-9, is also the mother of "Spud" and "Goliath"
Del Rio is a sire candidate that could be mated to any sow type or pedigree and he will improve the next generation of either gender
