A very flexible, sound, free-moving boar with good bone, Competitor is backed by generations of selection for confinement raising. He has excellent Landrace breed character with an ideal set to his small to medium sized ears. He has excellent testicle size and placement. Competitor is from a litter of 11 born live, 9 weaned with an outstanding 178 lb 21-day litter weight.

Competitor’s dam has averaged 11.0 born live, 9.7 weaned with an outstanding 164.4 lb 21-day litter weight for three parities. His maternal granddam has a lifetime average of 12.3 born live, 10.5 weaned and 162.1 21-day litter weight for 3 parities while his paternal granddam’s lifetime average is 10.7 born live, 9.5 weaned and 137.9 lb 21-day weight for 6 parities.

We feel Competitor can compete with any Landrace in terms of putting together superior feedlot performance, carcass leanness, maternal reproductive characteristics and the phenotypic design needed for high productivity and longevity.
