Of the two Shaffer boars Tug Boat and Thunder Bolt, Tug Boat is the wide-deep bodied and level-flexible spined boar
Like Thunder Bolt he is heavy boned with exceptional big feet that hit the round squarely when he moves out with a long flexible stride
Moderate in height and length of cannon bone he is still long bodied and long and level in his rump
With a 8.22 loin eye area, wide thick rump and a deep full ham, Tug Boat has a large volume of muscle
Again like Thunder Bolt, Tug Boat is an outcross to recent SGI Duroc lines on the top side and has been selected for tough-functional design when raised in a totally slotted floor environment with 40 boars per pen
Tug Boar's sire, Tug Boar 27-2, is the top indexing sire on TSI at 120.1 in the Shaffer herd while his grandsire Tug Boat 205-1 was an extremely stout made boar bred by Shipley durocs
Tug Boat can generate a large volume of muscle with an ideal level of backfat in a super sound-tough made package well suited for a slotted floor environment
