We reached back into the frozen semen tanks to pull out semen from the 1991 imported Swedish boar, Alfred 492, to produce this litter
-
Alfred 492 stayed at SGI for seven years because he was the favorite of many SGI's customers to produce F1 females
-
His daughters, like Alfred 492, were tough made, sound structured females that excelled in the farrow house as well as in longevity
-
Alfred 12-2's dam combines two outstanding maternal lines in Captain and the more recent Swedish import, Zook 867, who formerly ranked 1st on MLI (145.7), 1st SPI (134.6), 4th Number Weaned and 5th NBA (0.89) in the Yorkshire breed
-
The dam of Alfred 12-2 averaged 14.3 born alive, 11.8 weaned and 168 Lb 21-day weight in her first 4 parities. She has EPDs 0.45 NBA, 1.22 LWT, 121.2 MLI and 117.0 SPI
-
The maternal grandam averaged 14.6 Born Alive, 10.7 Weaned, 150 Lb 21-Day Weight, 26.6 pigs weaned per year and 147 day farrowing internal for 9 parities. She has EPDs 0.72 NBA, 2.98 LWT, 125.2 MLI and 122.1 SPI
-
Alfred 12-2 is a long fronted, long bodied, maternal appearing boar that is built and bred for longevity
-
He has big feet, stout-clean-flat bone, and excellent natural body width and depth
-
His excellent curvature and cushion on his front legs and correct angles from hip to hock to the ground, will work well for sows housed in slotted floors and in gestation crates
-
Alfred has a very high quality 8-8 underline with excellent teat quality and spacing
-
Due to his sire being in the STAGES program 14 to 20 year ago, Alfred EPDs and Indexes are not as high as some; but based on his phenotype and strong maternal pedigree, we guarantee he 's daughters will compete with the best in terms of total productivity and longevity
