PINK EYED SELF GOLDEN BOARS
AT STUD SPRING AND SUMMER 2008

I MAKE NO APOLGIES FOR QUOTING THE LATE RESPECTED GOLDEN BREEDER NIGEL BEARD:-
           "What is the role of the boar in a Self stud? Apart from the obvious answer, ‘to breed babies', what qualities do you look for in a breeding boar and what do you want to achieve from using that particular specimen on your sows? There is a common phrase in cattle breeding - ‘your bull is half your herd'. The same can be said of boars in a cavy stud, that, although they make up a far smaller percentage of your stock than sows, they still equate to half of what is going to be bred. It could be said that the ideal breeding boar is the perfect show specimen (if such an animal exists), who when mated to the perfect show sow will produce litters of perfect show babies. Well we all know that isn't true, but the closer the breeding stock is to perfection then the better the chance of breeding showable offspring."
