Those who have been to the farm this spring know the anticipation behind this one. 5-10 is, without question, the most impressive boar we’ve offered in The Draft to date.
Known on the farm as “Zeus,” 5-10 stems from a proven, long-running sow line that consistently produces ring-ready hammers. His littermates have competed successfully at the highest levels across the country. As we continue pushing the Berkshire breed forward, this one represents the next generation—more presence, more power, and built with the kind of structure today’s barrow demands: heavier bone, bigger feet, and a wide, functional toe spread.
He’s a big-bodied, moderate-framed boar with a massive back, level hip, and a huge rib cage. Up front, he ties in with a bold forearm, while his lower structure reads like a crossbred—big legs, big feet, and flexible, athletic in motion. He’s wide-based and opened up through his chest floor, extended up front, and ties it all together with a extremely chiseled look through his head and a stout skull.
This one isn’t just good, he's a different-maker. Simply put, 5-10 is the kind that can elevate a program in a hurry.
You're welcome to make the scenic drive to KY to view Zeus in person.
