	F1 Photo Gallery F1 Gilts are a cross between Landrace and Yorkshire swine. This type of cross breeding gets the best of both worlds. They are considered to be a very sturdy breed, with excellent structure overall. They have the meatiness and longevity of the Yorkshires, combined with the large litters and high milk production levels of the Landrace swine.
	Yorkshire Photo Gallery Yorkshires are white in color and have erect ears. The modern Yorkshire is very muscular, with a high proportion of lean meat and low backfat, in addition to being very sound and durable. Yorkshires are productive, more performance oriented and more durable than ever. The goal of the Yorkshire breed, is to be a source of durable mother lines that can contribute to longevity and carcass merit.

They have always been noted for their milk producing abilities.
	Duroc Photo Gallery The Duroc, a solid red, meat type animal, is noted for its carcass characteristics and feed efficiency. Strong feet and legs make the Duroc an excellent choice for rugged commercial feeding conditions. This breed is also noted for large litters, which is a characteristic retained even when used in a crossbreeding program. Canadian Duroc’s are commonly used as a terminal sire in crossbreeding programs, as well as the third breed in rotational breeding situations.
