Firepower is a lean-meaty and sound-functional boar that combines the Waldo Firestone line with Stein &Stewart genetics and the ISU meat quality selection line
Firepower’s sire, ISUB Firestone 142-6, ranks in the top 25 Duroc sires for TSI (125.5) and EPD Days (-3.6) while his grandsire, Firestone 128-2 is ranked 8th on TSI (134.7), 9th and EPD days (-4.30) and 9th Feed/Gain (-8.0)
On the bottom side you have the high performing Stein & Stewart’s Tinsley, Total Package and Big Louie lines
Firepower excels in two economically important traits with EPD days of -4.0 and Feed/Gain of -5.7
Firepower has an expressive-lean top (8.02 LEA) and a thick square rump dropping down into a thick very muscular ham
Well balanced and level designed; he presents a eye appealing side profile
Wide chested and wide walking as he moves away along with a bold shoulder and good spring of rib, Fire Power combines good structure with a very muscular appearance.
From an excellent litter with three outstanding and fast growing littermate brothers; consistency of genotype is assured
All four boars in the litter were very sound and functional with even toes, good flexibility and fluid movement in the total slotted floor environment where they were raised
Firepower scanned 3.0% intramuscular fat while his sire had 4.1%
If you are looking for lean, trim, muscular boar that has good structure and function ability from a line selected for meat quality; Firepower can do the job
