The industry trend is constantly changing and it seems impossible to get ahead of the trend for more and more power. The trend is for heavy boned, wide based, thick, powerfully built and correct boars that can add more power in a three dimensional package
We feel Rio Bravo dramatically and easily fits the demand listed above
Our industry is well overdue for more emphasis to be selected on skeletal design and flexibility especially in the hip and rear leg regions
Rio Bravo has an impeccable hind leg and hip design. He is plum sound and floats in his athletic movement from front to rear. His tremendous three dimensional balance in a moderate frame size make him unstoppable. This fellow will sire on like he looks
His dam is a tenth parity female and mother of Power Wagon 93-2 at Prairie State and also the dam of Meat Wagon at Shipley's. Littermate sister to Power Wagon, 93-7 is the dam of Mega, Problem Solver and No Problem as well as the Grandam of Stewarts, Meat Packer that was the Grand Champion boar at the 2010 Indiana State Fair Open Duroc Show. The 93-9 littermate is the mother of Imax and Full Shift while 93-10 mothered Tribute, Chuck Berry and is the Grandam of Perfect Game, Different Strokes, Logic and Turn Me Loose
Rio Bravo's mama also produced the 2007 Champion Duroc Female at the Junior Summer Spectacular, Louisville, KY
As the $13,000 Co-Top Selling at the 2011 Indiana State Fair, Rio Bravo displays all of the bone, width and body that is needed today, yet he adds superior structure and soundness with balance, explosive muscle shape and that competitive look
