Opinions on Hereford boar

As most of you know I have just gotten some young gilts. Large Black's, Red Wattle's, Mulefoot's, Spot's, and Spotted Tamworth's. I may have an opportunity to get a Hereford Boar. Anybody think this would be a good cross ??

I've seen a lot of Hereford crosses for sale here in Oregon. Lots of folks bragging on the great taste of those crosses. For whatever that is worth!

Herefords are known for being aggressive breeders, so are Large Blacks. Our Hereford seems to be "on top of it". I'm not sure he is able to get the bigger sows yet, though he has been trying.
