King David 46-4 (SGI 239) was undoubtedly one of the best generating boars ever to stand at SGI in terms of the production of superior performing F1 and white line females.
-
In our search for a replacement for King David we were impressed by the many similar attributes of CHAMPION TURK. Both are from tremendous sow families with similar ancestry, are notably correct, level and loose in their total body design and superb in soundness and ability with excellent underlines. Both also have superior performance and are lean and trim in their makeup.
-
An added advantage with CHAMPION TURK is that he is a bigger footed, heavier structured boar than King David; yet, still has the length of body, neck and face typical of superior maternal lines.
-
CHAMPION TURK‛s dam has farrowed an average of 14.0 and weaned an average of 11.25 with a 152 lb average 21-day litter weight in four litters. His maternal grandmother and her littermate have averaged 10.25 and 9.6 born live, 9.6 and 9.1 weaned with 145 and 144 lb 21-day litter weights in 8 and 7 litters, respectively.
-
CHAMPION TURK has an excellent underline, large testicles and produces an extremely large amount of high quality semen.
-
The first daughters of CHAMPION TURK have not only been highly productive in the farrowing house; but, also maintain desirable body condition during lactation plus recycle and settle easily after weaning.
-
Although it is probably impossible to get the prolificy of the Chinese pigs, the leanness and muscle of the Pietrains plus the growth and ruggedness of Durocs combined into one package. CHAMPION TURK offers a sensible combination of these traits for the production of superior maternal lines.
