Celtic represents an extreme genetic package for efficient lean growth. He is sired by the imported Celtic 3668 from Ireland. Twelve offspring of Celtic tested at Purdue University had 156 days to 230, 0.43 BF, 7.80 LEA, 60.80% lean and 1.98 FE. The 73 sons scanned to date have averaged 154 days, 0.56 BF and 7.25 LEA. Celtic 16-3 is from an outstanding litter with four boars averaging 150 days, 0.56 BF, 7.01 LEA, 57.9% lean. Celtic is a long, clean fronted boar that is long necked, trim jowled and extremely lean about his shoulder. He is a level made, long bodied, long rumped boar that strides out free and easy. You really get excited about this guy when you look down his extra lean and very expressive top. He walks extra wide behind with remarkable muscle expression through the center ham and stifle region. Although from a second parity of only 7 born and 7 weaned, his dam has 103.76 SPI and farrowed 11 and weaned 11 with 126 lb. 21-day weight in her first litter. As many indicated at the Iowa State Fair, Celtic can sure make some exciting blue butt barrows. In addition with his extreme length of front, long level design and high quality 8-8 underline, he can also make super trim yet productive females.
