HAY BAY BOAR
HAS TOP INDEX
In a group of ROP boars recently
tested at the New Dundee Station, 13
had under 10 mm of backfat.
The highest overall indexing boar at
152 was a Pureline Yorkshire from Hay
Bay Farms in Napanee: BF 10.4, ADG
1.04, FC 2.31, and days 143. The litter -
mate placed sixth with an index of 130,
BF 10.3, ADG 0.91, FC 2.31, and days
at 151.
The top Landrace boar was con-
signed by Dennis Foerster of Neustadt
with an index of 140, BF 11.4, ADG
1.02, FC 2.43, and days at 159. Bob
Robinson of Walton entered on test the
highest indexing Yorkshire board with
an index of 130, BF 9.0, ADG 0.85, and
days at 142, while McDermid Farms of
Stayner had the highest indexing Duroc
boar at 127, BF 12.0, ADG 0.97, FC
2.21, and days at 119.
Ralph and Georgina Henderson of
Atwood consigned the highest indexing
crossbred with an index of 133, BF 9.0,
ADG 0.87, FC 2.87, and days at 148.
Other Ontario herds with boars in
the top 10 were those of John Boehm of
St. Jacobs and J. P. Van Haren of Ridge -
town.
Boars that index over 100 are better
than the group average on overall per-
formance on test. The index system is
based on the two most important eco-
nomic factors in market hog production:
backfat and daily gain.0
