I can't decide on what boar I like better. They're both show line hogs, good strong broad backs, about the same weight and size... No real differences in shoulder width or conformation.
Here's the gilt they would be covering. Nicely muscled young lady but a little lacking in length:
The potential boars:
1.) I like his jowl line a little better.
2.) I like his hips a little better.
They're brothers I think. Come from nice lines. Or we can just get a bunch of piglets and grow them out ( don't want to do that. Not when I can get 6 month old near breeding age hogs... ) and keep the best two.
Husband and I believe we know what we're going with. What are yalls opinions?
The ultimate goal is to retain piglets for the freezer and sell a few extra to offset feed costs each litter. Eventually expand to two or three females. Maybe more. I already have two pig breeds though...
