UNIVERSITIY PARK (Centre
Co.) Pennsylvania’s Meat Ani
mal Evaluation Center is finaliz
ing plans for the 19th Perfor
mance-tested Boar Sale, sche
duled for 6 p.m. on August 17 at
Penn State’s Ag Arena. The sale
has been scheduled during Ag
Progress Days, held at the Russell
E. Larson Agricultural Research
Center in Rock Springs, approxi
mately nine miles from the Ag
Arena.
Many of Pennsylvania’s more
progressive swine breeders have
consigned pens of four boars, each
from one sire and one to two lit
ters. Of the group of SI boars test
ed, 33 truly outstanding boars will
be offered at this year’s sale, in
cluding Yorkshire, Duroc, Hamp
shire, Berkshire, and Spotted
breeds.
Weighing between 40 and 65
pounds on delivery, boars going
on test are given a one- to two
week adjustment period, weighed
every two weeks, and taken off
test when the pen weight averages
230 pounds. Test measurements
used to determine index values in
clude average daily gain, pen feed
efficiency, and backfat thickness
and loin-eye area, as determined
by ultrasonic scan. The boars are
also evaluated for structural and
breeding soundness by a commit
tee of swine breeders and Univer
sity specialists. The animals must
meet minimum requirements for
soundness and underline.
This year’s group of perfor
mance-tested boars recorded a
new high average for daily gain.
This very lean set of boars gained
2.16 pounds per day and had an
average backfat thickness of .65.
Many of the boars (adjusted to 230

target other countries in all parts
of the world which have the high

one third of all U.S. agricultural
exports, including three fourths of
all poultry and livestock and sub
