-
Like the recent Large White imports from Sweden, each of the three Hampshires are somewhat different in type. Fredrik is the extreme one in terms of frame size and length of body.
-
A long faced, long fronted boar; he truly is extreme in his length from shoulder to hip and hip to tail setting.
-
An upstanding boar with extra length of cannon bones, he is very trim about his jowl, shoulder and underline.
-
Fredrik is also a lean topped boar with very good muscle shape.
-
The four progeny test groups of Fredrik’s sire averaged 0.52 inch carcass backfat and 65.3% lean with very good meat quality. The test group of Fredrik’s dam also averaged 0.52 inch carcass backfat, 64.1% lean and good meat quality.
-
Fredrik’s dam has averaged 10 born live and 10 weaned for two parities while his paternal granddam averaged 9.3 weaned for four parities.
-
Like all the Swedish Hampshires, Fredrik has very refined, high quality nipples.
-
If you want to make bigger framed hogs that can perform and stay lean to heavier weights; we would recommend Fredrik.
