Deliverance was the top selling boar in the September 1994 Iowa State Test Station Sale.
-
He combines the frame size of Jet, Senator and Wildcard from the dam’s side with the ruggedness and muscle of the Dakota-Doak-Ultra line from the sire’s side of his pedigree.
-
Deliverance’s sire, Delivery, had only 0.65 backfat at 310 lbs when shown at the National Barrow Show. He is the most consistent sire at Stewart’s for leanness and loin muscle shape and size. Deliverance’s paternal grandsire, Ultra, was a $7200 class winner at the Sedalia Summer Conference and had performance figures of 144 days to 230, 0.57 BF and 6.45 LEA. Deliverance’s dam is sired by a son of SGI 469 Jet, who along with his four littermate gilts has been very influential in building the Stewart’s Hampshire herd.
-
Deliverance’s maternal granddam, Beth 23-6, is by SGI 478 Wildcard. She is one of the foundation sows at Stewarts and has averaged 10.1 born live, 147 lb 21-day litter wt and 104.43 SPI.
-
Deliverance is a stout framed, extra wide based and heavy structured boar; yet was one of the leanest boars on test (0.59 vs 0.85 station average) and had the largest loin eye of any Hampshire in the sale. He and his littermate had the top two lean gains per day. Add to this the extra thickness of muscling along Deliverance’s top, out through his rump and down through his very expressive ham and you have a terminal sire supreme.
-
Deliverance is also an extremely well-balanced, stylish, super sound boar that surely will sire outstanding show barrows. A truly good one,
-
Deliverance would have more than held his own at Iowa, Indiana or the National Barrow Show.
