Draft Horse is one fast growing, stout-wide made, super sound and functional stud
As he comes at you; he is stout headed, extra wide at the chest floor and bold shouldered
Big topped, with excellent shape, spring and depth of rib; he carries his extra natural width out thru a big square rump
Heavy structured; he has a big blade, stout flat-youthful bone and big feet
Draft Horse has a large volume of muscle yet is very loose made, flexible and functional
His 134 days to 250 lb was attained while housed in a large group on a totally slotted floor
Draft Horse's sire was from an outstanding and fast growing litter
Littermates to his sire were Champion Boar and Champion Gilt at the 2009 Minnesota State Fair. Both were big volume, stout made hogs that were very sound and functional
Draft Horse's sire was Paul Nilson's favorite that stayed home in breeding pen
Their dam is an 8 parity sow at Nilson's that has been a super producer and is the backbone of the herd
Draft Horse is an outcross to many of todays popular blood lines with the exception of the single shot of SGI Bold Adventure on the bottom side of his pedigree
The Express and Radical breeding on the bottom side bring back some of the powerful hogs at Nelson Brothers in the late 80's and 90's
When you think of Durocs as the terminal sire line you want superior growth, stout-durable-sound design, total muscle volume and correct finish to insure excellent meat quality
Draft Horse reminds us of SGI 1173 Plowhorse and fit this scenario as well as any boar to come to SGI in recent years
Ron Nelson has insisted that they retain an interest in this unique and powerful sire
