Description:
Guys, better study this one. He is intensely line bred on the dam side. Brett Byers's great old Melon N 39-9 is in the pedigree 4 times; TMF1 Melon N 73-1 granddam on the top and bottom of the pedigree. TMF1 Melon N 40-1 is his dam and the granddam of his sire. TMF1 Creation 73-10 is his great grandsire on the top side and his grandsire on the dam side. Anytime you can put that caliber of line bred sows in one pedigree, you are making a huge leap forward in building better hogs that will generate. We consider this guy a genetic giant. Delta Don is out of a great litter with several boars getting great homes. He is a littermate to Lava at Genetic Edge and Drum Roll at Upperhand. Delta Don was our pick. He has absolutely great feet and toes; they are huge and even. We took several pictures because he is so good from different angles. Massive bone, super flexible hip, great flexibility in all of his joints. He is super clean jointed with ideal skeleton. He is tall fronted but with a moderate frame size. He is level topped with a long full rump, lots of rib and counterbody. He has a big square top with a massive skull. This guy will be a big player in building those top barrows and gilts for any size show nationwide. Genetically he will leave you with hogs to build with. Better study your lesson here; he is about as good as it gets at building the next generation of Durocs for the showring and beyond. Don Smith and I have been good friends for close to 50 years and we consider it a privilege to own this genetic giant with him!
