When you can walk through the boar barn and see individuals from three generations that possess the characteristics that have made Hampshires great, it has to give you a high degree of confidence in recommending breeders to use them in their programs.
-
Bouncer, Tank and Panzer are all heavy-muscled, extremely lean animals with proven growth potential, wrapped up the super tough, durable package.
-
Some of the best sows in the Hampshire breed go back to Bouncer and Tank while Panzer comes from a very productive sow line. All three boars are rated very good to excellent on semen production and quality, are extremely aggressive and would breed sows on anything from concrete slats to lilly pads. It’s like never have to tell the commercial man you’re sorry.
-
If the Hampshire breeders could make all their boars similar in design and function to Bouncer and his descendents, Tank and Panzer, they would guarantee the continued popularity of Hampshires as meat or terminal sires.
-
Bouncer is six years old and still exhibits excellent mobility and breeding activity.
-
He is a massive, bold shouldered, heavy-boned boar with a long, level rump and extremely bold in his spring of rib.
-
Bouncer sired the outstanding IA Test Station pen that contained DL Tank along with the Top Indexing boar in the IA State Hampshire Test with 2.44 ADG, 0.80BF and 5.85 LEA.
-
This guy did not keep from becoming part of someone’s ”pizza attach” just because of his personality, but rather because his genes in a pedigree have consistently helped make that generation better.
-
Hampshire boars that are sound, aggressive and lean with good muscling will always be modern.
-
So, why don’t you give Bouncer a chance before this superior generator is no longer with us?
