SIDNEY is an ideal representative of what Large Whites have been bred to be for generations. He is backed by outstanding sow productivity on both sides of his pedigree and is a long bodied, level made, sound boar that is ideally designed for confimement. His dam not only excels in sow productivity but is what the Shipleys consider their best sow in terms of combining phenotype, sow productivity, and consistent production of superior offspring. SIDNEY is from a litter of 12 farrowed, 12 weaned, and 150 lb 21-day litter weight. His dam has weaned 64 of the 65 pigs farrowed in her six litters. SIDNEY's maternal granddam and her littermate have averaged 12.2 farrowed, 10.7 weaned, and 12.6 farrowed, 11.2 weaned in 10 and 9 litters, respectively. SIDNEY's paternal grandsire's daughters have an average BVSPI of 103.1 and his paternal granddam has a lifetime BVSPI of 101.7. An added bonus with SIDNEY is his extreme leanness and excellent muscle expression combined with a long neck, long and level rump, loose structure, and unrestricted movement. He has a very good underline and is super aggressive. If you want to put superior sow productivity and correct, functional design in your sow herd and at the same time improve your grade and yield premium, SIDNEY can move you in the right direction.
