Eskimo Joe is a big framed, long bodied, lean made boar that grew extremely fast being the second fastest growing boar (148 days) and leanest (0.35 in B.F.) in his contemporary group
Tall fronted, well balanced; Eskimo Joe is extremely sound being long strided with correct square foot placement front and rear
He is backed with excellent sow productivity and an abundance of meat quality testing in the Zehr herd
The top side of his pedigree (SGI Eight Below) combines the SGI 1178 DGI Pike imported from Design Genetics, Canada in 1994 with a Waldo bred sow
The reports on Eight Below offspring have been excellent in terms of growth and maternal production
The bottom side of Eskimo Joe’s pedigree combines Nelson Brothers breeding with the old Waldo Willard line that again was noted for outstanding sow productivity
The dam of Eskimo Joe and four littermates have excelled in reproduction at Zehr’s average 9.2 weaned and 163 lb 21-day weight on their first 7 parities
Eskimo Joe offers an outcross to many current Durocs and can offer superior genetics for growth, leanness, reproduction and meat quality in a well muscled, super sound package
