Live Wire is a long bodied, extended boar that abounds with muscle.
-
He has phenomenal muscle shape over the top and a huge, muscular butt.
-
Live Wire is also a wide sprung, good structured boar that stands on good bone. A well balanced, sound, free and easy moving boar; he is very stylish and eye appealing.
-
Live Wire is bred to excel in muscle. His sire had 0.46 BF and 7.08 LEA scan. His F1 Hamp-Duroc sons have average 158 days, 0.49 BF and 7.16 LEA while his Hampshire sons have scanned an average of 0.48 with 7.61 LEA.
-
On the dam side, every tested son of Big Crank 47-7 and his full brother, Wodley, at Kyburz’s has scanned a 7.00 eye or larger. Live Wire is also backed by superior maternal performance. His dam and her littermate have averaged 10 weaned with 127 lb actual 21-day weight for their first parity. The Big Cranks daughters have consistently excelled in milking ability. The Jet and Trapp line from which Live Wire’s sire, Concorde 1-3, originates have also been well documented for superior maternal traits combined with extreme leanness and muscle.
-
Live Wire certainly represents a multiple purpose Hampshire boar in terms of his potential to produce extremely lean, muscular terminal lines or show pigs as well as maternally oriented Hampshires of F1s with extra scale and a very high lean content.
