When you list the attributes desired in a superior production Berkshire, Fat Albert meets the desirable traits of fast growth, documented superior meat quality, reliable reproduction and a tough, sound structural design
Fat Albert was the fastest growing boar in his contemporary group and has a TSI of 108.0
He excells in natural width of body being bold fronted, big ribbed and carries this width to the ground
Fat Albert comes by his extra body volume and tough design honestly with his dam’s sire, SGI 694 Gunner, being extreme in his heaviness of structure and total body volume
Fat Albert’s sire, Rockwood Namatjira, pedigree is loaded with top ranking boars for meat quality including the English import, Namatjira and Rockwood Stone on the top side whom had IMF EPDs of 0.45 and 0.46
On the bottom side of Fat Albert’s sire you have Rosette Count 15-3 and Rosette Count 56-1 who ranked 1st and 2nd of EPD Intron Tenderness and 4th and 6th on cooking loss
Rockwood Namatjira maternal and paternal grandmothers excelled in longevity with 11 and 12 parities respectively
Fat Albert is a big footed, very sound and flexible boar that can also contribute to longevity in your herd
If you are serious about productive Berkshires with superior meat quality, Fat Albert needs to be on your list of boars to sample
