The Sow Herd
Not only is she fundamental in producing a large number of quality pigs to weaning... the sow is responsible for something much greater.
Superior females are key to the progressive herd. A boar is known for his ability to replicate himself on a large scale, within an operation - even population. The sow however, has the power to influence in a different manner. In a way that will take the best boar, to a better boar. Continuing the cycle, the producer's limitless progress is unlocked when he finds the power of the sow.
To us, a true sow is one that can produce in a prepotent manner, she maintains the paradigm above, she produces ahead, and she keeps it progressive.
PSP has studied, and closely observed genetic groups, identifying key players within the breed. We are pleased to have acquired what we believe to be the best of these sows in not only the United States, but Canada as well. These sows take the Kunekune Hog to new heights in productive design, structural soundness, growth performance, carcass merit, and breed character.
