Arnold Cook, Belgrave, who
repeatedly has had top indexing
boars at the Ontario Test Station,
again had the top indexing
Yorkshire among the 76 boars in
the February group.
This. Test Station graduate from
the Cook herd had a high
performance index of 142
combining low backfat thickness
of 14 mm (55 in.;, rapid average
gain,on test of 1.0 kilogram (2.2
lbs.) per day and exceptionally
good feed conversion of only 2.2
lbs. feed per pound gain.
A littermate with an index of
129 was second high indexing
Yorkshire. A pair of Landrace
boars from the herd of Donald
Lowry, Almonte, with
performance indices of 152 and
148 were the top two indexing
boars in the entire group. Other
top indexing boars in the group
was another Landrace from Elmar
Farms, Woodville, with an index
of 126, a Duroc from Dan Lester,
Forest, and a Yorkshire from the
herd of Blyth Meek, Erin, both
with a performance index of 121.
Commencing with this
February group, all performance
information is reported in metric
units.
The performance index, used at
the Test Station evaluates the
overall performance of each boar
and combines the hnportant
economic traits of backfat
thickness, average daily gain and
feed conversion into one compo-
site index with the group average
always 100.
Thirty of the top boars in the
February group including the top
indexing ones mentioned above
will be sold at the Test Station on
February 24th at 1:30 p.m. Only
those boars which index above
average and are approved by a
committee for physical soundness
are offered for sale in this
monthly Station Tested boar
sales.
As all boars at the Test Station
are fed and handled under
uniform conditions, buyers can be
sure that superior performance is
due to true genetic superiority for
low backfat, fast gains and good
feed conversion which will be
passed on to the pigs they sire.
A Post Classified will pay you
dividends. Have you tried one?.
