Pioneer is a tremendously heavy muscled boar that has a well-defined groove down his top and a big dimple above his tail. He has a very thick muscular rump and a large, shapely ham. He combines extreme muscle with good frame size, length of body, excellent growth and very good spring of rib. Although quite terminal in appearance, Pioneer can also work on the female side. He is a sound, functional boar that is backed by excellent growth and very good spring of rib. Although quite terminal in appearance, Pioneer can also work on the female side. He is a sound, functional boar that is backed by excellent sow productivity. His sire, Frontier, is 9th ranking on 21-day litter weight, 11th ranking on MLI and 16th ranking on SPI in the November 1998 Yorkshire Across-Herd Sire Summary/ He has an EPD of 0.4 for NBA and a whopping EPD of 8.70 on 21-day litter weight. The Frontier daughters are proven to be very superior in their milking ability and their readiness to recycle and settle after weaning. Pioneer’s dam has averaged 10.3 weaned in 4 parities and has EPDs of 0.0 NBA, 7.0 LWT and a 115.0 MLI. She produced the 2nd top selling gilt at Ark City. Pioneer is a full brother to Trailblazer, the 2nd top Selling Boar at Lubbock. A littermate to Pioneer and Trailblazer’s dam produced the Champion gilt by Frontier at Duncan in 1997. We fully expect Pioneer to sire awesome blue butts; however, we feel he can also work for Derby pigs and in the production of female lines where a shot of muscle is needed.
