The Rural Voice, 1978-02, Page 31HAM PSH I RES HAPPENINGS AT VISTA VILLA FARMS GRAND CHAMPION HAMPSHIRE GILT R.A.W.F. 1977 1ST PLACE CARCASS CLASS BARROW INDEX 112 R.A.W.F. WE ALSO HAD THE FOLLOWING WINNINGS AT THE R.A.W.F. 1977 Reserve Champion Gilt Reserve Champion Boar 1st & 3rd Place Junior Gilts 4th & 6th Place Junior Boars 1st Prize Herd, Premier Breeder & Premier Exhibitor Our Hampshires win in Breeding classes. Here's an example. In June 1977 a litter mate barrow to the Champion Gilt at the Royal Agricultural Winter Fair won 3rd place carcass in the production tested harrow class at the Pork Congress. These successes are backed up by the following results on our market hog production: 1974 Ave. Index 106.4 on 1106 hogs 1975 Ave. Index 107.0 on 1108 hogs 1976 Ave. Index 106.7 on 986 hogs We feel that we are on the right track when we select longer, taller, larger framed Hampshires. They can go out and get the job done for the commercial producer who uses breeding stock with the bred -in ability to reproduce these results. We would be pleased to be able to supply you with your next boar. We always have boars priced right for every serious hog man. Robert J.
