Vandyke was the 2nd high indexing boar in his contemporary group
-
The most striking feature of Vandyke is his lean-trim and very muscular appearance
-
He has a big very shapely top (9.47 Loin Eye), a thick very muscular and expressive ham. He is very trim along his shoulder, belly and flank region
-
Being big framed and long bodied combined with his trim makeup; his offspring can certainly perform well and maintain high cutability and efficiency to heavy weights
-
For a boar with his lean and muscular makeup, Vandyke performed extremely well with 137 days to 240 lb (114 kg)
-
Vandyke is from a litter of 11 born, 10 weaned and 160 lb 21 day litter weight. The paternal grandam averaged 9.5 weaned and 167 lb 21-day litter weight. Certainly there is good potential here for improving reproduction
-
Selected for generations in a slotted floor environment, he is very sound and functional being particular good in his foot size and placement
-
Vandyke offers a chance to increase muscularity and cutability when fed to a heavy weights without sacrificing growth, feed efficiency, soundness or reproduction
