Boars and Sows
Chester white pigs, bred from various pigs in the Ohio-Pennsylvania area, are best known for large litters and good mothering. They are the youngest gilts to mature (in estrus even at three months). Although the boars are a bit aggressive (typical for most swine), the sows are very easy to manage. The carcass is also known for easy slicing. We have two three-quarter chester white/one-quarter duroc sows, which we breed to a full chester white boar, then those gilts back to a half duroc boar. This combination makes for fast and economic weight-gain and excellent dinner. Absolutely nothing.
