Durocs: Gilts

Duroc Gilts

Our Duroc genetics represent some of the top maternal lines found in the United States. The National Swine Registry lists the top sows in the Duroc breed based on Maternal Line Index. In the October 2002 rankings one of our sows was ranked as the #1 Duroc sow in America and 8 of the top 14 sows listed were ours. This is an amazing feat when you think of all the Duroc sows in production in the United States.

Like our boars we have a steady supply of purebred Duroc gilts coming off test twice a month. All performance data both maternal and terminal is available on these gilts.

A great testimony to the quality of our Duroc gilts is the most recent ranking of Duroc sows in America by the National Swine Registry. This is an individual sow ranking based on Maternal Line Index. It is especially impressive when you think about all the different Duroc herds and all the Duroc sows in production in the NSR system.
